IRISH AFFAIRS.
+ APPEAL BY MR REDMOND.
A FIGHTING POLICY. United Press Association — By Electrio Telegraph— Copyright LONDON, April 16. Mr Redmond, speaking at Dublin, appealed to the Irish to make a strong, willing, consistent combative movement simultaneously in Parliament, in Ireland and in the English oonetituences, in order to compel the Government to make Home Rule one of the foremost issues at the next general election. Mr Redmond protested against the word, "alliance" being applied to the relations between the Liberal and Irish parties. The Irish remained a party of independent opposition, and allied themselves to no one, unless on the basis, of the acceptance of full Home Rule. On their merits the Irish ought to oppose most of the Government's chief Bills, especially the Education Bill and the Licensing Bill. Clearly Ireland's interest was to hasten dissolution. It was impossible to ask Irishmen, in Manchester to support Mr Winston Churchill. He urged that a really powerful land agitation should be carried on through the autumn and winter, and that then the Irish questions should be kept to the front with a vengeance.
