We congratulate. the Government of Northern. Ireland most heartily upon
the firm and yet just way they have dealt with Cardinal Logue and his monstrous threat to disobey the law of the land in which he lives and which secures him and his followers full protection. Just before Christmas the Cardinal . announced that in spite of the curfew regulations, which are absolutely necessary for the prevention .of riot and murder, he would proceed to the Cathedral after curfew in order to hold the midnight Mass which had been announced for Christ- mas Eve. On Sunday morning, however, he thought better of his declaration that he would hold the Mass, though it involved a breach of the law, and announced that the midnight Mass was abandoned. We congratulate the Duke of Abercorn and Sir James Craig on their firmness and good sense.
