Excerpt from A Better Way: An Appeal to Ulster Not to Desert IrelandWhen the Amendment Bill embodying the Government's concessions to the Opposition was in the House of Lords, it was seen to be a piece of freak legislation which even its authors admitted to be a mere makeshift expedient. Its beneficent purpose would be served if, in a country where nobody wants. To fight, it prevented civil war - a calamity which it' was not unlikely to provoke. If the poison of partition was any remedy for the Irish disease, the Lord's may have been right to give the maximum dose. But Lord Lansdowne, who knows Ireland, has little faith in the prescription, and called upon all and sundry to suggest some rational treatment. If, he said' in the debate on the Second Reading of the Amendment Bill, at the eleventh hour the Noble Marquis* opposite, or, indeed, anybody else, were to offer a better way we would' be ready to explore it. The invitation is wide enough to include myself, and the eleventh hour has come. I prepose, therefore, to submit for the consideration of my fellow-countrymen a better and an Irish way.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
