The N|Htionalists me Ulster Union
ists have stated their demands quite
dlainly and there seems no room for
compromise between them. Tine Nn-

men demand permanent exclusion.
Neither side apparently viii reccdc,

L. say hat perhaps there will be- q

Here is the opinion o. q wealthy
Belfast businessman
sir Edward Carson's demand for
the complete and unconditional eX-
olusiou OF Ulster need not be taken
seriously. We al know that the va
tionalists would never think Of ac-
ccpting such a proposal We know
quite as well that II would be imprnC-
ticable 90 Il possibly could be accepted
40 one can tell better than myself
how closely the interests OF this
province are bound az with those OF
the rest Of Ireland. -Four commercial
travellers from my house are almost
continually IN the south and west.
Within the past week We have rcgeiv-
ed orders for new seasons goods from

Siinco reaching $4,000. A very
slight curtHllment Of such % trade

should think hat the volume Of nus-
mess between the Nationalist parts ct
the country and Belfast alone has
quadrupled within tho last fifteen
years. Quite apart from politics. the
