In announcing this "double policy" of the government, the premier declared that under martial law persons found possessing nrms nfter a certain date or unautherised persons wearing uniforms would be liable te the death penalty. On the ether hand, te facilitate nego tiations, tlie premier unneunccd the government had decided te give snfei conducts te Sinn Fein members of the Heuse of Commens; who had net bcn "involved In the commission of serious crime." Twe or three very important docu ments hud come from Ireland In the Inst few days, Mr. Lloyd Geerge continued. The most impertnnt, he said, wns that from the Galway county council. This wns "the first area of dry land which hnd shown Itself after the deluge of unconstitutionality in that country." This, he commented, marked the re turn en the part of nn important body te constitutional methods. The communication, snid the premier, was e welcome sign of n new spirit in " Ireland, and it wns the duty nf the gov ernment te encourage It, because it wes en encouraging return te constitutional methods in nn area which hud been one of the most disturbed and most difficult in Ireland. The resolution was carried, he commented, ngninst the pretests of the Sinn Fein leader In thnt area. Xet Ready for Peace The government, said Mr. Lloyd Geerge, was regretfully convinced thnt the section of the Irish population which controlled "the organization nt violence, murder nnd outrage" wns net yet ready for real peace; namely, for a peace which would accept the only bashj en which pence could be concluded acceptance nf the. Unbroken unity ef'the United Kingdom. The communication of these "con- ( trellers of outrage" were all conceived In the spirit of nn independent, belliger ent power, offering pence te another In dependent belligerent with whom they nre nt war and te whom they were In position te dictate, tlie premier said. Therefore the government had decided en it double policy. On the one hnnd tlie government felt, continued the premier, that it had no option but te continue and iutcnslfy Itsi campaign against thnt "small but highlv organized and desperate min ority" which wns using murder nnd outrage in order te attain the impos sible nnd which could bring pence neither te Ireland nor te Great Kritain. On the ether hand the government, tlie premier ileclnred. would open and encourage every chntinel by which tlie forces in Ireland which tenlly wcr anxious for an hennrnhlc settlement charge with threuteuiug the lives 0f i coma Unit expression and se lend te President Wilsen.
