but in Parliament and out of it he
merely reflects the sentiments of his
constituents.
The Belfast manufacturer is frank
in stating his reasons for not want
ing to break away from the British
empire. One of them gave me this
statement:
Forty thousand men are employ
ed in the Belfast shipyards while in
the Belfast district nearly 100000
people work in the linen industries
Under present conditions the Bel
fast shipyards are able to compete
with the whole world in spite of the
fact that practically every bit of
material going into ship must be
imported from other countries,
British free trade is the chief
factor in making this possible; while
there is the further factor that
wages are lower, than in the yards
of our big competitors outside of
Ireland.
"Now, we Ulster manufacturers
have every reason to believe our

came part of an Irish republic.
Ulster would, under a repblic, be

Now, we don't propose to do any
such thing. We know it is impossi-
bic for Protestant Ulster to live in

ireland. We know under republic
Catholic Ireland would dominate ov-
erwhelmingly, and we can predict
right now Ulster would be given the
worst of the bargain on every prop

A very intelligent labor leader of
Belfast, Protestant, made this com
ment:
Gas long as the Ulster manufac-
turers can keep their Protestant and
Catholic workmen fighting over re-
ligion these workmen aren't likely to
get together, go On strike and force
up wages and better their working
conditions. This fighting simply
strengthens the hand of the manu-
facturers whose opposition to a re-
public is purely economic and not re-
ligious at all"
