* CARSON FLAYS PLAN I OF VISCOUNT GREY I Calls His Scheme for Irish Self-Govern men t a "Policy of Scuttle." i I LSTEK FOR PENDING BILL Prefer It to Any Other Alternative and Will Work for It, Says Leader. ' j London, Oct. 2.?"A more hopeless - suggestion never emanated from the brain of a statesman," In Sir Edward Carson's comment on Viscount Orey's Irish plan In a letter from the Ulster leader on conditions In Ireland printed In the London newspapers to-day. "In plain English," says Sir Edward, "It means 'abandon all those who aro loyal to the crown; leave them to the tender mercies of their Sinn Fein fellow countrymen, and If they murder each other and e&haust themselves in * slaughter we will look on without concern,' This is a policy of scyttle with a Referring1 to Viscount Grey's suggestion to leave Great Britnin to control Ireland's foreign policy ^fld the army and navy, Sir Edward continues: "Tf they refuse to accept this, what then? If they burn naval stations, attack sailors and soldiers and assassinate officers, then I suppose Viscount Grey would say we must go a step further and allow an Irish republic. Is the murder of Brinsh officers in India and China to produce the same result? Why not?" Sir Edward recalls that during the war Eamonn de VaTera asserted that a free Ireland would bo the destruction of the British aea power, and that Arthur Griffith said the freedom of the seas would never he attainable while Ireland was in her present state, because Ireland's geographical and commercial position gave her the key to the Atlantic and Mediterranean trade. "What is the use in not facing the real facts, the real aims of the anti-British party in Ireland?" asks Sir Edward. "Every mistake that has been made originated in basing a policy upon theory and not upon realities," he says. Commenting on Viscount Grey's statement that novody wants to accept the Home Rule bill now before the .House of Commons, and that Irishmen will refuse to operate it. Sir Edward says it is quite true the Ulster men prefer their present position un#er the Imperial Parliament. "But." he continues, "under the existing circumstances Ulster* in preference to any other alternative suggested, does want the bill. Ulster will accept the bljl; Ulster will work for the bill. Certainly. as compared with Viscount Grey's proposal, Ulster would welcome the bill."

The first line, according to official announcements, is to consist of 300,000 troops, and the National Guard for the second line with 435,000 officers and men. Furthermore the nepartmem has strongly advocated universal training and is now gathering tog< ther a fore-' vf 70,000 officers. The selective draf" law. adopted at the beginning of th* vorld war, remains In force and ' capable of producing an army estimate 1 ut the complete man power of the country, or more than 20,000,000 (estimated ). The naval appropriation for this year ts In round numbers $432,000,000, with an authorized strength for the navy of 143,000, and the marine corps authorized at 27,400. These figures, however, are far below the recommendations of Joscphus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy. It will be recalled that he electrified the country and startled Congress by advocating a navy for the United States equal to if not the superior of any navy in the world. Ills recommendation was made at the" very time the hope was being held out by the Paris Peace Conference that the League of Nations pact would lead to reduction of armament and tworld peace. Brief outlines of what other countries reflect follow: In 1914 Great Britain spent upon her ' army the comparatively small sum of 1 $224.sno,OOt, as ngain'st a military budget for the present year of over $000,- ; 000,000. The English then had only a smah standing army, consisting of 9.740 officers and 172,610 men.

Winston Churchill's programme for military development has. In fact, been so great as to awaken the opposition of labor and the more conservative taxpayers. Great Britain's navy appropriation cf 1914 of 5237,530,459 has also been increased, despite a generally recognised demand for its reduction, in view of the fact that Germany her deadliest rival on the tons. has been eliminated. In 1914 Japan appropriated $49,000,000 for her army, but Is spending for the current y^ar on that branch of her defence the sum of $105,000,000, exclusive of the additional sum of $100,000,000 for the Siberian expedition. In 1914 the Japanese spent only $46,000,000 on their < navy, a sum that is more than tripled in this year's appropriation of $176,000,000, Their navy programme for "next year calls for the more startling expenditure of $235,000,000. The Japanese are, moreover, entering this year upon an aviation programme the cost of whfen is estimated at $200,000.000. Only a small part of the increased expenditures referred to is due to advances In army pay. as may be readily deduced from the fact that the Japanese private soldier, after liberal increases have been made, now receives but the equivalent of etx cents a day in American money. In 1914 France, even then sensing the approach of the world war and preparing for It in a degree, spent only $191,431.5S0 on her army and $119,571,400 for her i avy. For the first quarter of the presuit fiscal year her budget was 2,735.000,000 francs. The French propose now to >roth< nd 6lh Aces.)
