The Government are already rocking ; failures, disillusion.. ments, Cabinet

differences, revolts by nominal supporters, are all sure signs of disintegration. But the fall would be sudden if the Government were guilty of the crowning iniquity of letting Ulster be persecuted and ruined by the South. It its quite clear what justice requires. The Government have only to say " We stand by the Treaty. The Treaty is always open for the South of Ireland to accept, but the security of Ulster is an essential part of the Treaty. Any further attempts to coerce Ulster will simply mean that we shall be found at the back of Ulster." Surely a Government worthy of the name can say nothing less !
