 The governments new bill provides briefly for the creation of two Legislatures in Ireland with full constituent powers to create single Irish legislature to dNs- charge all powers not specifically reesrve,i to the Imperial Parliament. A clause in the blu will protect the rights of minorl- ties The question of uniting these two Irish legislatures into one body rests with the Irish peop'e, the consent of the I'm. perial Parliament not being required 7. What appeared to be a weakness in the governments proposal was certain mist mess as to how the boundaries of north eastern Ireland will be settled for legis- lative purposes. The premier rejected sew eral proposals-!irst that the whole of Ulster should form q unit; second, counrv option; third. tisat the six northeastern counties shoul form single unit--all on the same ground, that solid sections of the population would be left under govern ment they disliked.
 Sir Edward Carson. the Ulster unioaist leader, in the subsequent debate, declined to believe that the bill would prove q success or for the good of Ireland. but he would not give pronounced opinion until he had seen it in print
 lie feared that the Sim Fein would capture the Parliament and proclaim a repu2.ic, and asked what the government do then.
 Sir Donald Mclean said be though, there was no iaea of vengeance in the nrem.er's beech, and believed that it wal the rremer's intention to adopt no mora represslve measures in Ireland.
