Viscount Orcy, Foreign Minister In
tlio Liberal Cabinet nt tlio outbrealt of
tho war and for a tlmo Hrltlslj Am
bassndor In "Washington, In a letter
to tlio Wtttminiter dinette puts for.
ward now proposals for tho solution
of tlio Irish problem. Ho declares tlio
proicnt homo rule bill Is not accepted
by any one, and pays:
"Tho only practicable policy that of
fers any proapects of success seems to
mo to havo thrro cardinal points:
"1'lrst, a ilflflnlto announcement that
for these two Islands of Great Ilrltsln
and Ireland (hero can bo only ono
foreign policy, ono nrmy and ono
navy, and that woannot stand nop.
, aratlon In theso mattars any mors
than tho North could stand tho sop
aratlon of tho South In the United
States.
"Second, with this exception Irishmen
muit bo ii h free as tho peoples of the
rest self-governlne dominions to settle
for themsolvcs how their country Is to
be sovcrnod.
"Third, to glvo tlmo for them to como
to ncrroment with each other and draw
tip their own scheme, tho British Qov-
ernment will contlnuo to perform as
best It can tho function of government
In Ireland for a period not to exceed
two years, but at the end of that period,
or sooner If Ireland Is ready, It will
withdraw, nrrnnglnr Itsolf, If need be,
fair terms tor retiring tho constabulary
and other who liavo scn'ed It and ro
sponslbltlty for Irish government will
be on tho Irishmen themselves. '
"In no other way," continues Lord
Qrey, "can wo bring horn to Irishmen
that sense of responsibility of which we
have for centuries deprived or relieved
them, and tho lack of which Ii, I be
lieve, tlio deepest underlying; couao of
Irish troubles, of Irish disunion and of
the ralluro of every attempt hitherto
msds to find a solution of tlio Irish
problem."
II Iteferrlns;. to .conditions In Ireland
Lord Orey says ; "The Government has
been unable to punish or prevent the
constant murder of those who serve It)
In parts of Ireland Its authority has ap
parently ceased and been superseded by
Sinn Fein courts, from which alone can
any redress bo obtained for ordinary
crime or wronrdolng. Arid some, If not
all, of the once Unionist minority In
Nationalist Ireland, hopeless of protec
tion from the British Government, are
now ndvocatinr dominion home rule, or
looldnir to an nirewnent with the Sinn
Vt.
"The Ilrltlsh Administration, In fact,
Is exhlbltlnir the helplessness of an ex
tremely feeble aovernmint, whits' Incur,
rlnv all thn odium of one that rules by
force, Ireland Is more discontented
than aver and there Is no prospect of a
tettleinent or Imnrovement.
"To this wo have come after centuries
or iirltlsii rule, and It would bo weir, for
rvery one, whether ho be it Home Hulsi1
cr a Unionist, to loolt for the cauVn with
i fresh mind,
"The permanent underlying causo of
a failure so prolonged and persistant
as that In Irelnnd Is not to bo found
In the shortcomings of Individual iiv
eminent, not oven In those of the pres
ent Uovcrnment, Vanity as all gov
ernments may be and as many Ilrltlsh
governments In Ireland rortnlnly havo
been, the Irish question would havo
been solved before now hut for win
thing the difference between Irishmen
themselves i that Is, between Ulster or
part of Ulster and the rest of Ireland,
And the lesson of past years Is thut thli
difference Is Inflamed and not composed
by nrltlsh proposals for the government
of Ireland, 1
"The present Home llule bill now be
fore I'arllamont Is no exoeptlon, There
Is much to be said In the abstract for
the lines on which It Is drawn they
could easily be expanded Into Dominion
Home Hula for a united Ireland, Hut
apparently no ono wants tho bill, no one
nocopts It as a solution, and Irluhmen
will refuse to put It, Into operation, Wo
must, therefore, look to some other polloy
for relief, ,
"Nothing that Is In the naluro of n
banraln between thn Ilrltlsh Govern
ment and ono part of Irrlsud has any
chancn of success, If the Sinn Koln
accepts It, Ulster will denounce It, If
Uleter accepts It, tho Sinn l'VIn will re
ject It.
"The only prospect for futjiro pence
and good government In Ireland Is that
the Irish eiiouiu draw up meir own
scheme, This Is a point which Lord
Hugh Cecil made very clearly a few
days mjo. Hut his proposal had, I
think, a fatal uoroci-u stoppeu snori
of the one thing essential to make
Irishmen agree upon their own prob
lems. Thoy will never do this except
under proseuro of t, real sonso of re
ponslblllty. Tills) Js what they havo never yet
had, for It has always been understood
tint as long as Irishmen differed Great
Ilrltaln would go on governing or pro
posing plans for tho government of Ire
land. As long as this Is so, tho Irish
convention or constituent assembly
will either differ ami break up In In
ternal discord, or propose something
which thoy know wo cannot agree to.
I'robably it will do both of these things,
and the present Intolcrnblo stnto In Iro
land will continue indefinitely."

Vondon, Sept. 29. There aro no signs
observable to-night that Viscount Grey's
letter will cause the Government to
ehange Its policy of first restoring order
In Ireland, whatever may bo the cost.
However, Viscount Grey haa caused a
political sensation. Ills letter Is signifi
cant of the mustering of the biggest op
position guns against tho Government's
policy, mo result or which, in gnastiy
reprisals during the last few weeks, has
dono more to stir up Ilrltlsh sentiment
In favor of an Irish settlement than all
tho Sinn Fein killings.
Tho man In tho streot has an uncom
fortablo feeUng that tho reprisals In Ire
land construe a smirch on Urltlsh
honor. This fooling was not assuaged
by tho equivocal semi-official statement
appearing In tho Dally CAronlcIo this
morning and tho failure of Gen. Sir
Nevll Macready, commanding tho Gov
ernment's military forces In Ireland, to
deny the Interview In which ho was
quoted as eaylng ho could not stop tho
reprisals,'
Tho most Important effect pf Viscount
Grey's letter Is thnt It opens' a field for
an Irish poace conference or somo other
agency to endeavor to bring Ulster and
the South of Ireland together In some

ANNOUNCEMENT
Since the.present Autocar prices were established
over a year ago we have had to face a constantly
increasing scale of production costs. The recent
increase in freight rates has placed an even
heavier charge upon production and distribution.
When the excise tax was placed on motor trucks,
we believed it would be a temporary war measure,
and so have, up to this time, absorbed the tax.
Costs have mounted so steadily, however, that
the Company no longer can absorb this tax.
Beginning November 15th, all Autocar Branches
will sell Autocar chasses with tax and freight
charges added.
