On Friday, December 9th, Sir James Craig, the Ulster Prime

Minister, had a conference with Mr. Lloyd George and other members of the Cabinet, at which the discussion turned on the proposed Boundary Commission and the possibility of financial concessions to Ulster. Sir James Craig apparently offered no objection to a reconsideration of the boundaries of the Six-County Area, and the Government agreed that Donegal, Monaghan and Cavan should be added to the Six Counties for the purposes of inquiry. " A. P. N." stated in the Daily Chronicle of Monday that as regards finance the Government took the line that the only concessions that could be made must be within the terms of the Home Rule Act of 1920. Sir James Craig returned to Ulster last Saturday evening.
