There has been no more perplexing problem of politics in the history of any nation than England's Irish question. In the present crisis it has assumed so serious a character that it present a direct obstacle to a successful prosecution of the war. Conscription and home rule are inseparably bound up with racial and political prejudice. They involve the danger of great discord in British unity.

In recognizing this fact, England and France have established their coalition cabinets and have made merit the determining factor in all appointments to office. Since a year ago last April, the question of politics in our national Government has been foremost in the public mind. Leaders of Congress and the press have not been slow to lay charges of partisanship at the administration's door. It is under such conditions that the events of the last weeks have a special significance...
