In the early hours of Tuesday 200 Sinn Feiners were

arrested, and when we go to press on Thursday the number of arrests has -risen to 350. Speaking in the Northern Parliament on Tuesday, Sir James stated thatafter his most discouraging experience of all attempts to co-operate with the South, he and his Government declined to make any attempt to deal with the National Coalition in Dublin. He also declared that the Northern Government would have nothing whatever to do with a Boundary Commission in the new circumstances. " I say that without equivocation and without reservation. . . . What we have we keep." Most of the arrests of Sinn Feiners in Ulster have been carried out quietly by the Ulster special constables.
