BRITISH GOVERNMENT LEADER EXPLAINS GEORGE’B ACTIONS. Premier Willing to Receive Americano, but Not Thooe Who Take Part in Rebellioua Movementa. London, May 16.-—Andrew Bonar Law, government leader In the house of commons, admitted thnt Premier Lloyd George had asked Edward F. Dunne, Frank P. Walsh and Michael F. Ryan, representatives of Irish societies in the United States, to call on him. He had planned to lay before them the British case, and have i« widely reported in America where it is insufficiently understood, Mr. Bonar Law said. The premier has withdrawn the invitation, the government leader said, because while he is willing to receive Americans, he is unwilling to receive those who “come to Ireland, and not only take part in the politics of Ireland, but also In rebellious movements.” Mr. Dunne still declines to comment on Mr. Lloyd George’s decision not to see the Americans, and would not admit that he had received any such advices.
