y ENTIREIY DIFFERENT SYSTEM . OF GOVERNMENT FOR IRELAND Premier Asquith to Frame a '1 , British Proposal to Lay Before the Cabinet. A despatch from Dublin says: Premier A.~'juith has reached the con- clusion from impressions gathered during his Irish viait that the old form of government in Ireland has had ivs day. The Associated Press learns from source.-) in closest touch with the Preipier that Mr. ^squith's conversa- tions and conferences have convinced him th:>t the future government must be conductet} on an entirely diflFerenb system. ! The Prime Minister has taken care to learn the ideas and views of many persons othsf thav those in purely of- ficial circles, and thege persons have oiTered greatly varied suggestions. None of these, it is believed, could be adopted in itr. entirely, but it ia thought they might be welded to- gether to form a proposal to lay be- fore the Cabinet. His Belfast visit gave a good hint to the Premier that the Ulsterites would not accept a direct proposal im- plying home rule. But it is believed that they might be induced to ento' into a concerted plan which could pos- sibly be arranged to meet their mosfc serious objections.
