In 1914 the British Parliament postponed the entry into force of the law on Ireland’s selfgovernment. After the end of World War One the British government headed by David Lloyd George had to solve this problem. This was not a simple matter because the Irish gathered around the Sinn Fein party did not demand mere autonomy but independence. The struggle was growing fiercer in its form of terror and reprisal. In 1919 the Polish Legation was established in London. Its political reports and reviews of the English press informed the authorities in Warsaw about the course of the struggle and about the discussion going on in the House of Commons on the new plan for Ireland’s self-government. The comments of the British press and the consequent feeling of the public were reported in a fairly detailed way.
