The Unreasonableness of Ulster

The exasperating statement of Sir James Craig,
premier of Ulster, to the effect that the people OF
North Ireland concerned in any settlement that
may be reached by the British premier and President
De Valera indicative of position that cannot long
be maintained It's chief effect will be to
revulsion of public sentiment in England and the
United States against those partsans who selfishly
ignore their interests well the interests of
humanity
II Is the claim of the Ulster that they cannot
safely trust themselves in the government with
their neghbors of the south and they nssteny demand
that the imperial government shall protect them from
those who unquestonsby have the power well as the
viii enforce the political unity Of Ireland
Under such circumstances the logical reply Of
How'd George would be that If the of Ulster are
unable TO maintain their liberties 1t is for the I'M
perial government and for dependents, deter
mine the conditions under which Its protection shall be
given The Obstetrics claim reasonably at the
same time that they must have imperial protection
against their neighbors and that they have concern
in the pending negotiations between the Irish Repub
Leans and the British government.
The unreasonableness OF Sir James position Is so
clearly evident that it cannot long be maintained
