ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SYSTEM
OF GOVERNMENT FOR IRELAND
Premier Asquith to Frame a Proposal to Lay Before the
British Cabinet.
A despatch from Dublin saysie
Premier Asquith has reached the con-
clusion from impressions gathered ,
during his Ivish visit that the old form
of government in Ireland has had its
day. The Associated Press learns ,
from source e in closest touch with the
Premier that Mr. Asquith's converse-
tions and sonferences have convinced
him that the future goverranent must
be conducted on an entirely different
system. .•
The Prime Minister has taken care
to learn the ideas and views of many
persons other than those in purely of -
Mal circles, and these persons have
offered greatly varied suggestions.
None of these, it is believed, could be
adopted in its entirety, but it is
thought they might be welded to-
gether to form a proposal to lay be-
fore the Cabinet.
His Belfast visit gave a good hint
to the Premier that the Ulsterites
would not accept a direct proposal im-
plying home rule. But it is believed
i that they might be induced to enter
• into a concerted plan which could pos-
sibly be arranged to meet their mosb
serious objections.

James White, son of the late Field
