HOME RULE ISSUE FOR
IRELAND IN DEADLOCK
London. A settlement of the Irish
home rule difficulty apparently hue
been little advanced by the Urltlsh
government's great concessions to the
Ulsterltes and, taking the assertions
of both political parties at. their face
value, the deadlock remains as lm
movable as before Premier Asquilh's
conciliatory offer was made In the
house of commons on March 2.
The algners of the Ulster covenant
declare strongly that nothing lea
than the permauent exclusion of the
Protestant counties of Ulster from the
Irish government at Dublin, Instead
of the proposed six-year option, will
be considered by them.
The more radical covenanters de
mand not only the exclusion of the
four counties Antrim, Armagh, Lon
donderry and Down In which the
Protestants are In the majority, but
they want the entire province of Ul
ster excluded. On the other side, the
government representatives assert
that Premier Asqulth's scheme Is the
absolute limit of concessions and Is
not a basis for further negotiations.
