Asquith Faces Irish Home Rule Debate Rift
London July 26 Premier Asquith urged the Nationalists not to suspend negotiations on Irish home rule after stating the government would not introduce a new measure. He defended the six Ulster counties exclusion as a historic compromise and denied bias in negotiations. Redmond pressed for adjournment to protest government inaction and growing unrest in Ireland. The order in council postpones home rule implementation for six more months after 18 months, to lapse in September 1916 unless war ends earlier.
