There is reason to believe that the committee of four
has already approached the subject of Ulster. Whether it comes sooner or later, that is bound to be the crux. It is supposed that the Sinn Fein delegates are at the very least trying to detach from the Six County Area the two counties of Tyrone and Fermanagh. We ask our readers not to bo misled if an outcry should very shortly be raised in the English Liberal Press that in resisting such a proposal the Ulster loyalists are acting with their usual " bigotry," " gracelessness " and " obscurantism." The Six County Area was created by Act of Parliament after the most careful and scantling discussion, because it was found to be a homogeneous whole. Independent Liberate, who denounce the division of the industrial triangle in Upper Silesia just because it is a homogeneous whole, are perfectly capable of turning round on their own principles whenever there is an opportunity of denouncing the only well governed part of Ireland as a hotbed of bigots and of handing the friends of this country over to their enemies.
