IRISH BOUNDARY.

POSSIBILITIES OF -SETTLEMENT

PRESIDENT COSGRAVE GOES TO LONDON. (Reuters Telegram.) LONDON. Nov. 26. The Free State Cabinet considered a second statement by Judges Feelham and Fisher in regard to the resignation of Mr Mac Neill from the Boundary Commission, after which if is understood it reached certain decisions which did not include a- Government, reply, but it is expected Cabinet’s altitude will he represented to the proper quarters immediately. Mr Cosgrave has left Dublin for London in connection with the boundary crisis. It is understood the proposal is revived whereby an agreement on the Irish bounadry i.s probabjo if the British Government will relieve the Free State of the treaty obligations respecting National Debt- payments. Sir James Craig (Premier of Ulster) and Mr Cosgrave (President- of tlie Dail Firearm) are meeting the two remaining Boundary Commissioners, Judges Feelhnm and Fisher, and Cabinet, members to-day. BOTH SIDES SHOULD WORK FOR REAL SETTLEMENT. (The Times.) (Received November 27. 11 a.m.) LONDON. Nov. 26. So far ns the Free State is concerned regarding t-lm boundary question, there is a growing feeling that both sides ought now to work for a real settlement on totally different lines. Judges Feetham and Fishers’ position may be strictly correct in law, but any attempt to enforce the Commission s award must have very serious results. “We hope, therefore,” says the Irish Times, “that the combined good sense and goodwill of the British and two Irish Governments will wipe the award out of existence, and! approach the Ixiundary problem and future of the North-South relations in a new spirit and from a- new angle.” Ulster opinion is divided, one section urging Hint the Commission’s findings ought to he enforced immediately they are issued, and Hie- other that they ought to be withhold pending further effort, to agree upon a. solution.
