Michael Collins’ suggestion to Premier Craig of Ulster for a conference of the representa- tives of the whole of Ireland to adopt a common policy and frame & constitution is the main outcome thus far of the deadlock in the Irish situation, but it is now too soon to indieate whether any independent de- velopment is likely to come from it. The editorial writers insist that the boundary question 1s one for the two Irish governments to settle, arid that the English government must keep out of the vortex of Irish politics, The Daily Chronicle says it is pre mature to talk of a crisis or deadlock until the method of boundary settle ment prescribed in the treaty is tried, and believes that disaster can be avoided by adopting that method. The Morning Post, representing Ulster’s views, attacked Premier Lioyd George 2nd’ Mr. Collins for thelr “deception, and says Ulster has no chance for justice if the boundary revision is submitted to a commission in which there are two votes against her one.
