Blame Carson for Starting Irish Trouble
MACCLESFIELD England December 30 The Irish Nationalist leaders John Dillon and John Redmond reportedly saved Sir Edward Carson from prosecution for preaching rebellion in Ulster in 1914. Charles F G Masterman said the cabinet was ready to act but Redmond and Dillon persuaded Lloyd George to delay, arguing home rule would soon law and they would govern Ireland without being hampered by Carson prosecutions.
