HOPE STILL FELT OVER IRISH BOUNDARY TROUBLE IN ENGLAND.
By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. “ Sydney Sun ” Cable. LONDON, December 2. The “Daily Mail” states that “a supreme effort is being made to secure lasting Irish peace. “Britain has agreed to pay the major portion of the Free State’s share of the national debt, and war pensions under the Irish Peace Treaty, in addition to financial concessions to Ulster. “It. is understood that Britain will not insist on any boundary alterations, leaving President Cosgrave and Sir James Craig to settle amicably the boundary difficulties. Meanwhile the Boundary Commission’s report will not be published.” The Irish boundary discussions are continuing. • Mr- Churchill, the Marquess of Salis bury, and the Earl of Birkenhead conferred with the Free State representatives and Sir James Craig separately. The postponement of the Commission’s award has considerably eased a delicate situation and serves the vital purpose of giving time for further consideration. It is regarded in some quarters as a preparation for a settlement out of court between the Free State and Ulster.
