GIVE AND TAKE
BASIS OF NEGOTIATIONS, IRISH BOUNDARY LINE. ULSTER GROSSLY DECEIVED. (Received 10 a.m.) LONDON, August 24. The Marquis of Londonderry, speaking at Stockton, said that Sir James Craig was ready now as always to discuss with Mr Cosgrave rectifation of the boundary on the basis of mutual give-and-take.
Sir R. S. Home said that Ulster was coerced and deceived by repeated pledges by Messrs Asquith, Lloyd George, Bonar Law and Baldwin and it would create a situation which could easily end in civil war. After these pledges they could appreciate the unwillingness of Ulster to take the risk of sending a representative to the Boundary Commission whose judgment Ulster would be bound to accept if she took part in the Commission.
Sir James Craig, speaking on the eve of his departure for a holiday, declared that nothing had occurred in the last few days to change his previous Ulster boundary policy. —Router.
