NORTH AND SOUTH
(By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright). (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, June 21. (Received June 22, 7.50 p.m.) Mr W. H. Edgar, a Victorian Legislative Councillor, spent three weeks in the North and South of Ireland. He visited both Parliaments and was the guest of the Government in Belfast and of the Speaker of the Free State Parliament, Dublin. He found conditions in the South chaotic. Ministers practically lived continuously in the Parliamentary Buildings, which were guarded by military day and night. The banks and public buildings are also protected by armed guards. Belfast, on the other hand was quite peaceful and prosperous. Even prohibition of Sunday trading by hotels was not resented.
