The dispute about the boundaries came into unhappy pro- minence

towards the end of last week. On Thursday, February 2nd, Sir James Craig met Mr. Collins in Dublin to discuss the rectification of these boundaries. The result of the discussion was a very grave and unexpected deadlock. On behalf of Sit James Craig it was announced that:— " Owing to the fact of Mr. Collins's stand on the Boundary Commission and the Irish delegation's agreement with Mr. Lloyd George that larger territories were involved, and not merely a boundary line, as Sir James Craig was given to understand privately by several British Ministers and from statements of Mr. Lloyd George in the House of Commons, no further agree- ment was reached."
