MAY YET PRODUCE HARMONY. (Received Friday 7 p.m.) LONDON November 27. To-day Mr Cosgrave and Sir James Craig separately had lengthy conferences with Mr Baldwin at Downing street and Mr Baldwin conferred with both together this afternoon. After interviewing Mr Baldwin Mr Cosgrave and Sir James Craig announced, that they had no statement to make. Mr Cosgrave has returned to Dublin.

The ‘ .Daily Telegraph" gathers that no concrete results attended the Irish conversations but it is hoped that frank talk will prove fruitful. PROBLEM OP SETTLEMENT. IN NEW SPIRIT FROM NEW ANGLE. LONDON, November 26. So far as the Free State is concerned the Boundary Commission's lead has pointed out that there is a growing feeling that both sides ought now to work for a real settlement on .totally different lines. Mr. Justice Feetham’s and Mr. Fisher's position may b Q strictly correct in law, but any attempt to enforce the Commission’s award must have serious results.

"We hope, therefore,’' says the "Irish Times,” “that the combined good sense and goodwill of the British and the two Irish Governments will Wipe the award out of existence and approach the boundary problem and tlKe future of the relations between the North and South in a new spirit from a new angle.” Ulster opinion is divided, one section urging that the Commission’s findings ought to bo enforced immediately they are issued and the other that they ought to b e withheld pending a further effort to agree on a solution.
