British newspapers call for Irish conscription

British newspapers call for Irish conscription

The Freeman’s Journal reprints editorials from The Morning Post and The Globe, which call for conscription in Ireland.

From the Morning Post :-

  … The exemption of Ireland from any of the burdens and obligations of the war has long been a crying scandal and an offence. The time has come to end that state of things, and to require not, indeed, an equality of sacrifice, but … a share of that sacrifice.

From the Globe :-

...It is now high time that Ireland should be asked to take her fair share in the great fight for freedom, particularly for the rights of small nations, or is it to be left finally for the big nations to fight for a smaller one while the latter looks passively on!
