concerned, have 'given Stormont nothing but worry and expense'!
These are difficult matters to measure, but it is easy to calculate the expense which their inclusion in Northern Ireland did not cause Eire. I refer to the £155,000,000 Eire liability for the service of the public debt, and war pensions. which was wiped out as a result of the 1925 Agreement.—Yours faithfully,

House of Commons, London, SW1 MEN AT WAUGH
SIR,—The war moves on to new ground. Neither Mr. Waugh nor Miss Spain in your last issue makes any attempt whatsoever to insist that my supposed words on his doorstep —about not being on business, and being a member of the House of Lords—were actually said. They know otherwise. The whole tone of Miss Spain's Express article was false, right from the implication of gate-crashing Mase- field in the afternoon and Waugh as he was about to make his preparations for dinner. Miss Spain had a good enough story, anyhow; I hadn't the slightest clue she would falsify.
