» Allegation That Asquith Gov-
. ernment Proposed to Over-
Awe: Unionists: by Force]

"London, April 20:—It is diffi-|
cult to conceive of anything less

; suggestive of Irish ‘peace’ than jit
the angry charges and counter--

charges thrown from side to side
this morning “regarding :the al-
leged Ulster plot, The Unionist
forwards were: most definite in
their allegations that Winston | -

_ Churchill and David Lloyd Geo:

- Fge, with the connivance of Colo-| -
_ hel Seely, Sir Jolm French and
Sir Arthur Paget, planned -to
-overawe Ulster, even at thé risk
of drenching ‘the- province in
blood. "What seems probable is
that a sub-committee of the cab-|

inet, headed by Churchill, deter-}.

-mined that the time had come to
assert the power of the govern-
~*ment’ by a demonatration : of
force, occupying Ulster - with
fovt and artillery, supported by
. battleships and destroyers.
