PREMIER MAY
OFFER PEACE
Lloyd George Will Not Heed
- Asquith's Suggestions
in Full
I.QNDOX. Oct. 5. Former
Premier Asquith's letter to the
Loudon Times declaring he was
not alarmed by the spectre of an
Irish republic and advocating do
minion borne rule in the widen t
sense, bas created somewhat of a
sensation in political circles and
is considered significant, in view
of Viscount Gry' important pro
nouncement and the recent letter
from Lord . Morley, which, while
making no actual contribution in
tbe way of a solution of the Irish
difficulty, advocated "taking lar
gtr views" in Irish matters.
Among the downright oppo
nents of concession to Ireland. Mr.
Asqnith's letter is denounced as
"mere sop to Sinn Fein violence."
and his advocacy of Ireland pos
sessing its own army and a voice
in treaty making is slezcd upon as
a proposal to which it would be
impossible for the British public
to consent.
The newspapers take up what
they consider the letter's shot, in
that it fails to suggest any method
of dealing with the Ulster ques
tion and wbow how tbe north and
south can be brought together.
Taking this point, the Westmin
ster Gazette, a moderate liberal
organ expresses the opinion tbat
ultimately the only solution will
be that suggested by Viscount
Grey to throw the whole respon
sibility of finding a solution on
tbe Irish people themselves.
Premier Lloyd George will
make a political announcement at
Llanelly. Wales. Friday, and It Is
expected tbat he will deal with
Mr. 'Asquith's proposals. He is
credited with holding the belief
that British opinion could not ex
pect him to go as far as Mr. As
quith suggests, but. according to
the Standard's Dublin correspon
dent, be is expected to make an
other peace offer to the Sinn Fein.
