This article focuses on various issues related to politics. Surely no British Prime Minister has ever been placed in a worse plight than Lloyd George by the complete collapse of his amazing plans for Ireland. It is only a few weeks ago that he was all fire and flame both for coercing Ireland for military purposes and for introducing Home Rule. No Home Rule bill seems even to have been drawn either as an essential war or as a peace measure. John Dillon solemnly warned Lloyd George before the Nationalists withdrew from Parliament that if conscription were applied the chaos and confusion would be appalling and Ireland would be turned into another Belgium.
