Mr. Winston Churchill is to be congratulated upon his decision
not to hold his meeting in the Ulster Hall, a decision announced in a letter to Lord Londonderry pub- lished in Friday's papers. Mr. Churchill intends to visit Belfast and to address a meeting, but "as he gathers from the newspapers that the main objection to his meeting is the holding of it in Ulster Hall" he will ask the Ulster Liberal Association to find another building. We cannot doubt that the Belfast loyalists will be perfectly prepared to accept this compromise, and that in this way a situation of great difficulty and even danger, and one also which re- flected no credit upon any one concerned, will be put an end to. When a compromise is agreed on, or is in process of being agreed on, the loss said the better. Wo shall there- fore refrain on the present occasion from any further comment or from making any attempt to dwell upon the merits and demerits of the dispute.
