London, Jan. 5.--The Home "Rule Law is now being applied in Ireland and it is up to Irishmen to rule or misrule. With this statement a government official of the highest anthority in Irish affairs began outlining to the United News an unexpected move in Ireland--the establishment of a southern parliament--which will be given the privilege and charged with functions conferred on it under the Home Rule Bulk, | Regardless of Sinn Pel opposi- tion the official said, the southern parliament will be expected to carry on the government. . "The majority of the non-Sinn Fein candidates for the southern parlia- ment already have been selected," the official said. "The elections will be carried out and the voters will be amply safe- guarded against intimidation.' Government officials more than suspect that the Sinn Fein will real- ize the futility of forcing the Repub- lican idea into destruction, "that it will abandon the extreme role, and advise its people to unite and pre- vent the choosing. .f a solidly anti- Sinn Fein parliament. The govern- ment believes the next meeting of the Dail Eireann will see to this." There will be no general with- drawal of troops but they will auto- matically come under the authority of the Irish parliament because that body will be charged with maintain- ing internal order.
