NEWS OF THE WEEK.
LABOUR has spoken on the Irish question and has invited the country to add one more pretence to the many pretences which have brought about the present situation. The papers of Wednesday published a Report drawn up by the Commission of the Labour Party which recently visited Ireland. The Commission went to Ireland, where a fortnight was spent, with characteristically high hopes of solving the Irish problem which had eluded the wit of all the stupid and cynical politicians in office. But, of course, the Labour repre- sentatives were not able to make peace in Ireland—in fact, in spite of all the rumours and the continuation of some sort of negotiations, peace seems to be as far off as ever. In these circumstances the Labour representatives contented themselves with writing a Report which is invested with a judicial air, but which is as unjudicial a production as one could well imagine.
