The Morning Post of Thursday contains an announcement Which shows

that Mr. Bonar Law has exerted- and is exerting an influence which does the greatest credit to both his head and heart. He is going to maintain his plighted word. Here are the actual words of the Morning Post's announcement :-

" We have every reason to believe that Mr. Boner Law is only waiting for the issue to declare itself clearly in order to assert himself. He is not attending the Liverpool Conference, because that is a mere preliminary to the main action. But es soon as it appears that the negotiations with Ulster have broken down owing to insistence on conditions which are rcpug- boa to her, ho will not hesitate to throw the whole weight of his influence on to Ulster's side. From that determination iteithor the persuasicrm of his fottaer colleagues nor the inven- tions of the Dope Press will move him."
