IRISH LANDS QUESTION
SUGGESTED SCHEMES OF SETTLEMENT. By cable—Press Association.—Copyright Received 27, 11.5 p.m. London, April 27. Lord Mac Donald, at the Galway College enquiry, declared that financial relations were important, inasmuch as a lasting agreement was possible only by the enquiry being prosecuted with justice and a full know-ledge of facts. The Government had begun to consider the principles of devolution or Home Rule. If a settlement of the Home Rule question were desirable, the completion of the land question was equally so. Three courses were possible—the Government might await the rehabilitation of British credit; or share with the selling landlords the depreciation of three per cent, stock; or, and as he preferred, repeat the offer embodied in the Bill of 1909 to pay cash, provided the landlords accepted the principle of compulsion.
