THE BOUNDARY QUESTION.

(To the Editor.) Sir.—lt is very gratifying to find I he Ulster Premier taking a more rational end national view of the boundary difficulty. For many months past I have followed the leaders and correspondence on this subject, and both the "Irish Times" and the "Freeman's Journal," -vhich reflect the Free State feeling, are tecidedly against forceful methods in ;he settlement. I have also read the Belfast journals in our library, and it tppears to mc that with the exception of Grange extremists, the great Presby:crian body of Ulster are also in favour >f a peaceful settlement. In his notes it the massacre at Glencoe, the Scottish poet, Thomas Campbell, who was the , mthor of that touching poem, "The Exile of Erin," cays: "The banishment of the Moors from Spain to Africa was the chief cause of African piracy and Christian slavery among the Moors for centuries; and since the reign of William [11. the Irish Orangemen have been the Algerians of Ireland." —I am, etc., ERINEAN.
