SIR HENRY WILSON'S ADVICE TO ULSTER.• [To IHE EDITOR or
THE " SPECTATOR."3 Sia,—In the concluding paragraphs of your excellent article on Ulster you recommend propaganda to the Ulstermen, and indi- cate the lines which should be followed. I am frequently in Ireland, and believe I am correct in saying that Ulstermen are not ignorant of the value of " getting Great Britain warmly on their side," but it appears to me you have given the reason yourself why their cause and their case are not better known on this side of the water. At the left-hand bottom corner of page 355 in your last issue you write: "The Morning Post, which for reasons we cannot fathom, is still the only London paper to give a full and accurate account of the anarchy in Ireland." If there is no influence or pressure on the London and provincial papers to suppress facts as to the state of Ireland, they are not given because the newspaper managers find such information is • not wanted by their public, who prefer to know all about football, divorces, and the Fatty Arbuckle type of incident to matters which concern the welfare of their fellow-subjects and of the Empire, as well as their,
own prosperity.—I am, Sir, &c., Puna Sins. Broughty Ferry.
