The Alternatives to Civil War

By Frederick S. Oliver

Book Overview

Liberals oppose this demand-The Unionist case: the principles of the present bill have never been submitted to the country-Considerations supporting this view -Three different principles are covered by the phrase " Home Rule "-General considerations in favour of an election-The Liberal argument : an Election would be contrary to the principles of the Parliament Act-The Unionist answer to this-Practical necessity that an election, if held at all, must be held before Parliament meets. The Liberal view: in neither case would the situation be relieved of all its dangers-To some extent this opinion is unsound-A decisive result either way must have a moderating influence-One of Ulster's main grievances would be removed-Nationalists could not escape the moral effect-The principle of Home Rule is popular in Ireland, but not the present bill.
