The speeches made by Mr. T. P. O'Connor, Mr. Devlin,

and Mr. Seanlan were usefuL Like that of Mr. Redmond, they show the British people the true position in Ireland. Mr. Devlin's oration was specially luciferous. He was angry at the Prime Minister's statement that Ireland would never get Home Rule until internal agreement had been achieved. This of course means that Mr. Devlin, as we have said above, has no use for Home Rule unless it carries with it the right of domination in the six-county area. If that is so, then neither Mr. Devlin nor anybody else will ever see, or ought ever to see, a Parliament in Dublin.
