10 JUNE 1916, Page 3

We have dealt with the Ulster problem elsewhere, but may

remind our readers that in our issue of March 7th, 1914, we set forth in detail the amendments to the Government of Ireland Bin which would be required in order to exclude the six counties of North-East Ireland from the operation of the Bill, and allow them to remain within the United Kingdom and under the Parliament at Westminster. A few copies of the number in question remain in stock and may be obtained from the Manager. The draft was made by a distinguished Parliamentary draftsman, and front the technical side has stood the test of criticism. We may add that our instructions to him were to make as little alteration ia the Bill as was compatible with securing the clean cut of the six counties.
