Special Cable Despatch TO THE Sex.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE correspondent
Of THE Sun is informed that the lorna
tion of the new national party unde
the leadership Of Sir Edward Carson
is not without substantial foundation.
Up to the present time. the correspondent
has been told. matters have not gone
beyond the point OF Informal CONFER

In matters OF national importance when
the occasion demands. a right which
has been considerably curtailed since the
formation OF the coalition government.
The new movement was Initiated long
before the resignation of Sir Edward
Carson. but IL is an open secret that
Sir Edwards experiences in the Cabinet
have caused him to exercise the great
est restraint in publicly deplorins the
conditions he found.
Sir Edwards speech in the House Of
Commons at the time OF his res!gna-

enemies OF Sir Edward Carson until tho

The significance OF the present move
ment IL It's Independence of traditional
party politics. Among certain sections
OF militant Cnionists the desire TO have
Sir Edward Carson undertake the leader
ship OF a standing Opposition Is clearly
marked. II nay be taken for granted
that Lord Charles Beresford and the
whole OF the Ulster members will be
found among his supporters, also such

Walter F. Roch and perhaps other Lib

movement.
In the House OF Lords Il is expected
that Lord Willoughby de Broke, Wis.,

count Peel will show sympathetic inter-

As for the Daily Netcs story Of the
formation of the new party, Sir Edward
said he regarded II as "regrettable that
