In conclusion Sir Edward said: "If South and West Ireland said to Ulster, 'We must run our own island and live together; we will no longer preach hatred of England, but cooperate with you and the rest of the Empire,' then I undertake that we will accept the offer and shake hauls for the sake of England, Ireland md the Empire."—A. and N.Z.
