...practical idea-so far as it goes-is embodied in the latest bill brought forward by the British Cabinet. Mr. Lloyd George proposes two separate Irish Parliaments, one for the North and one for the South. So long as these two Parliaments exist apart, their fields of action are very rigidly circumscribed; but in case they can agree to form a united legislature for the whole country, a some what wider autonomy constitutes their reward. This principle seems fundamentally sound. Irish union is a thing that only Ireland can achieve, and only by peaceful means. Some solution must be adopted...

On the other hand, there is more equality of treatment; the passman does not fall into the slough of ignorant content which the English universities offer...
...present was pointed out as an example of the interference of England in American politics. The proposed auction of the interned German liners afforded a convenient pretext for illustrating how America was attempting to sacrifice her ships to swell the British naval reserve. Each of the situations alleged to exist have been shown to be entirely fictitious. On the ethical principle that an implied lie is no less a lie than a similar assertion, the newspapers controlled by William Randolph Hearst are imbued with the spirit of falsehood...
