The Dublin correspondent of the Manchester Guardian gives in Monday's
issue a sketch of the letter which Lord Glenavy, the Chairman of the Free State Senate, has sent to the Northern Government. Lord Glenavy's letter, it is stated, puts forward a scheme of settlement on these lines :- " Ask Ulster to abandon the Boundary Commission for good and nil. Offer her complete control over the Six Counties, or the nine if necessary, on conditions that she withdraws her repre- sentatives from Westminster and sends them instead to the Free State Parliament. In that Parliament let her have a complete power of veto over all matters which concern Ulster alone."
That is the kind of scheme, the correspondent goes on to declare, which the South might be expected to put forward. He adds :- "There remains, of course, the problem of the Irregulars. The reaction is twofold. No sober-thinking Southern man expects the North to cast in its lot with the South in the present turbulent ptatc of affairs. On the other hand, the Irregularpolitical, would he more disposed to make peace if a united Ireland were in view."
