vided for under an agreement which
he described as a bargain entered
into by the wrong people behind the
back of the northern government.
He admitted that. IL the represent

the border counties could arrive at
an agreement that something could
be done here and there in the mat

would not stand in the way Of APP
proving such an agreement
