Offers New Plan
r In Irish Issue
v Former Ambassador Says
Only Solution It That of
One Foreign Policy ,
For Both Lands. ;
London, Sept. 30. -Viscount 'Grey,
former ambassador to the v lilted
Statel. in a Utter to ,toc yvsidimit
ster , Gazette, today puts forwaru
new proposals for the solution ..of
the Irish proWetn. He said, the
government, of Ireland ' hfcs-never
been such a reproach and discredit
' to British statesmanship as it is to
day." lis declared the present home
rule bill was not accepted by anyone
and says: i , 1 ,
"The only practicable policy that
offers any prospects of 8uccei seems
to me to nave xnree carainai ponus.
first, a definite announcement that
for these two islands of Great Bri
' tain and Ireland, there caivba only
-. one foreign policy, ione army and
navy, and that we cannot stand tep
aration in these matters, any more
than the north could stand the iepH
aration of the south in the United
States.
"Second, with this exception, Irish
men must be as free as the peoples
of the Kreat self-governing Xlomin
ions to settle for themselves how
their country is to be governed.-.
"Tlu'rd, to give time for them to
come to an agreement with eacn
other and draw up their own scheme,
the British government will contin-
,'wevta. perform1 as best ft can, the
function vpf government in Ireland
I, iot a period not to exceed two years,
but at the end of that period, or
sooner if Ireland is ready, it will
'withdraw." .
Unable ta Punish Crimes. ; ,
"The government of Ireland has
never been such a reproach and dis
- credit to British statesmanship as
it is today," he said.
"It has has been unable to punish
or prevent the constant murder of
j those who servtf it; in parts of" Ire
land its authority has apparently
ceased and has been superseded by
Sinn Fein courts from which alone
dinary crime or wrong doing, and
s "some, if not all, of once union
ist minority in nationalist Ireland,
"hopeless of protection from the Bri
tish government, is now advocating
v domint6"rfhome rule or looking to
i, an agreement with the Sinn Fein.
"The British administration, in fact,
is helping the helplessness of an
extremely feeble government while
incurring all the odium of one that
rules by force. Ireland is more
"""liscontented thvi ever and there is
o prospect of a settlement or im
rovement. "v "
"To this we have come after cen
uries of -British rule and Jt would
e well for anyone, whetha he be
home ruler or a unionist' to look
r the cause with a fresh mind.

Charges Attempt
To Wreck Bank
Vice President of Tremont
Trust Company Says Ex-

j
to all
"The permanent underlying cause kpartment.
a failure so prolonged and per
stent as that in Ireland, is hot to
found in the shortcomings of in-
idual governments, notcven in
se ' of the present government.
.ulty as all governments may be
i us the British government in
land certainly has been, the Irish
stion would pave been solved.he-
fore now but for one thing-he
difference between Irishmen them
selves, that is, between Ulster or
part of Ulster and the rest fii Ire
land. And the lesion of -tost years
is that this difference is inflamed and
not composed by British proposals
for the government of Ireland,
"The present home rule bjll now
before parliament is no exception.
There is much, to say in the abstract
for the lines on.which it is drawn
they'could easily be. extended into
dominion home rule for a ' united
Ireland, but apparently nd one wants
the bill; no one accepts it as a solu
tion' and Irishmen will refuse to
put it into operation. We must there
fore look to some other policy for
relief, f x
"Nothing that is in the nature of
a bargain between the British gov
ernment and one part of Ireland has
any chance of success. If the -Sinn
Fein accepts it, Ulster will denounce
it; if Ulster accepts it, the Sinn
Fein will reject it. . .
One Prosbect for Peace.. '
The. only prospc?t for future
peace and good government in Ire
land is that the Irish should draw
up their own scheme. This is a
point which Lord Hugh Cecil smade
very clearly a few weeks ago! But
this proposal had, I .think, a' fatal
defect-4-it sopped short of the one
thing essential to make Irishmen
agree upon their . own problems.
TJhey will never do this except under
pressure, of a real "sense of respon
sibility, "This is what they have never
yet had. for it has always been under
stootHnatvas long as Irishmen dif-
lerea, ureatntian would go on
governing' or proposing plans for
the government m jreiana. as long
as this is' so, the I rth -convention or
constituent asscmblyVwill eiths dif
fer and break up in internal dis
cord, or " propose something which
they know we ' canuot . agree to.
Probably it wilLvdo both of.tlse
things and the present intolerable
state in Ireland will continue in
definitely." Main Plant of Overland

Cox Discusses
, League Question
Indicates, Armed Forces Nec
essary Behind Moral In
fluence, of Covenant.
i Topeka. . Sept. 30 The foreign
clement of the league of nations was
discussed yesterday by Governor
Cox in his travels which embraced
p'arts of Kansas and Missouri, and
closed with a meeting tonight at the
auditorium, f 1 ""
' "I believe that the moral influ
ence will be sufficient," the demo
cratic candidate 'declared, but indi
cated that behind 'moral force it was
necessary to have armed force, and
he paralleled the case to the countrv
rheriff who. he said is seldom called
uppn to use physical force to ca.fy
out decrees, but has it if nectssar.
The governor also said that Col
Roosevelt criticised the Hague tri
bunal for lack of force. -;
Pointing out that in 100 years of
its existence the Monroe doctrine
had never required a shot for its
maintenance, Governor Cox said:
"Bear this in mind: First, that mat
ters must be submitted to di.icussion
and arbitration and then if any na
tion violates it (the league recom
mendations they are going to 1m-'
pose the commercial embargo. It
is the judgment of men like Elihu
Root and Judge Taft that the com
mercial embargo will be an effective
preventative'! war. it is the judg
ment of the most profound students
of the whole question that the com
mercial embargo will be sufficient."
Besides two afternoon speeches at
St. Joseph, Mo., and Atchison, Kan.,
the governor made a few briefrear
platform talks at Mtredian, Kan.,
and other towns enoute. Arrest of
a man at Baltimore who interrupted
Senator Harding's speech there
Monday night was a subject of
caustic criticism by Governor Cox
in all of lfis major, speeches today.
The governor said it was not a
"trifling circumstance," but ' was
Symptomatic, ot more serious tondi
tions and in this connection he en
larged upon 1its charges that -the "re
actionary presa' was . suppressing
democratic news of the league fight
and buying or absorbing democratic
and independent newspapers.
Governor Cox tound Kansas a
fertile field for discussing the league,
many questions concerning its op
eration being asked him.
