It is also part of that ease that the North
must not be put under a Dublin Parliament, but that its absolute equality and independence must be recognized. Those were the terms made by the North when they reluctantly agreed to let themselves be turned out of the United Kingdom. Mr. De Valera's sugges- tion that he, Mr. De Valera, is the spokesman of all Ireland would, if accepted, stultify the whole case of the Six County Area. If the North and South meet, as we pray they still may, it must be on the neutral ground of London, and on terms of complete equality. It is quite another thing for Lord Midleton, who is a Southern Irishmen and, so to speak, incorporated in the South under the Home Rule Act, to go to Dublin. We hold that he was perfectly right to accept the invitation—painful as it must have been for him to do so.
