If Ireland Remains Sane, No Question
of Seif-Government, Declares Red
mondThreat of Conscription a
Base Political Device Spells Ruin,
Madness and Disaster for Country
Recruiting Should be Continued
Discusses Nation's Future.
WATKRFORl), Ireland, Oct. 6. In a
notable address to his constituents
hero this uftcrnoon John Redmond,
the Irish nationalist leader In the
parliament, declared that despite the
recent rebelllont "with all its Inevit
able aftermath of brutalities, stupid
ities and inflii mei passions,' homo
rule for Ireland is safe If Ireland re
mains sane.
.Mr. Redmond utso declared that
conscription could never be forced
upon Ireland, adding:
"I cannot bring myself to believe
that, malign though the Influences at
work are, the government will be in
sane enough to challenge a conflist
with Ireland on this subject. Con
scription for Ireltiud, far from help
ing the army and the war, would be
the most f.Ur.I thing that could hap
pen."
Conscription Keni-slotl
''That could happen. It would he
rcsi-ted in every village ill Ireland.
Its attempted enforcement would be
a scandal whic h would ring- around
llie world. It would produce no ad-,
dit ioiml men.' ' ''
Continuing, the Irish parliamentary
lender said :
''The mere threat is paraly.injr re
ciuiliie. which, mark you, is not dead,
as some people say. The latest fig
ures, indeed, show that from the date
of the ri-inir (caster Sunday) until
September, (101)0 recruits were re
ceived. "This demand for conscription is
not a genuine military demand. It is
a base nolitical device put forward
by men who want to discredit Ire
land's political future and revive by
any and every means bad blood be
tween the two countries, in (he wicked
hope that when the war is over the
ltri(ih people may ((derate some at'
tempt to re pi-a 1 (he home rule act.
Hut whatever the motive back of the
proposal may be, it will never be cur
ried through the hoite id' commons as

is today, united and entitled to speak
for Ireland.

"The way U con I in ue lo get re
cruits is far different. Appease (lie.
inflamed feeling in Ireland. With
draw martial law, make it plain that
Ihe defense of the realm net will be
administered not as it is being admin
istered now in ditferent parts of Ire
