CABLE TO SIR EDWARD CARSON
Following is a copy of a cablegram sent to Sir Edward Carson from Wellington last week : — "From knowledge, both personal, and derived from varied trustworthy sources of information, we are convinced that a large proportion of the population of New Zealand, including many Irishmen, feel that should the Home Rule Bill unfortunately become law, Ulster, with a population greater than that of New Zealand, has absolute right to unconditional exclusion, and to remain directly governed by the Imperial Parliament, or to receive powers of self-government, if she so desire, and that any attempt to coerce Ulster is a direct violation of the very principle by which it is sought to justify tho Bill. Your firmness and control of the situation excite warm admiration, and we earnestly trust that your efforts to avert a grave danger to the Empire will succeed. "(Signed) John G. W. Aitken (merchant) ; George E. Anson, M.D. ; J. Kennedy Elliott, Presbyterian Minister j J. S. Elliott, M.D. ; Join Kirkcaldio (draper) j 0. B. Morison, K.C. ; James Paterson, Presbyterian Minister; T. HSprott, Bishop of Wellington."
