Montreal, Nov. 29th.—Forty families are homeless and twenty-three tene- ments are in ruiss as the result of a dis- astrous fire from some unknown cause on Ninth Avenue, Rosemount, bere this morning London, Nov. 29th.—Admission of the rossibility that Ulster and the South of [reland may some day coalesce ‘‘of their own freewill’? in c.he Government of all \ Ireland, is ascribed to Sir Jas. Craig, Ulster Premier in an interview published today by the ‘‘DailyMirror”’, I do not say that Ulsier will never accept an all- eland council, though the Sinn Fein s it will npever accept any other sßheme’’, Sir James is quoted as saying «MAat we say is let the Sinn Fein first r Wve its ability to govern itselt along . & titutional lines. Let it win Ulsters - co'@dence by practicag prootf of its fair- ne 8 and impartiality «<owards the South- » Unionists. Then in the course of 4. the two Irish Governments might 51 Unu L 2 A NVIN coalesce of their own freewill I can- not say whether this would be good or bad, of that lam convinced. It might be very bad, for while Ulster remains a part of the United Kingdom, Britain can always land troops in Ireland by way of Ulster, if Great Britain’s safe- ty is jeopardized by any cause affect- ing Irish harbours or coasts.” ‘'lf Ul- ster conceded all the Sinn Fein de- mands’’, the interviéw cortinued, ‘‘the world would throw ifs hats into the air in a Trenzy oL joy and relief, There weuld be world-wide thanksgiv- ing services in the churches ar< won- derful scenes of happiness, but briu ain wvould then banish Ireland from its wed and turn Its thoughts to its own probs'ms, and.if the Sinn Fein began to oppsss Ulster under the all-Ireland council, “ngland wouid then answer Ulster’s¢ ~laints by saying, ‘‘you ac- cepted ti ncil, you must manage your own .airs now’’. Indeed, Eugland would hasg no right to interfere’’. Sir James was quoted asoutlining imaginary cases of oppression, such as the enforce- rent oi Catholie teaching through educa- .2l legislation. ‘‘Remember religion is wer. nd this bistorical quarrel, although little is " in that regard’’, he was quoted, ~au. Hat would be <the sort of thing that would be likely to happen’’. Another supposition was, that the Sinn IFein, with its lack of experience of industrial affairs, might easily wreck Ulster’s important industries by ill- considered legislation and Sir J mes contended that the guarantee promised Ulster by Mr. Lloyd George would not protect her against such possibilities, Lovdon. Nov. 29th. -'lhe following authorized statement has becn issued by Reuters. ‘‘dvpremersions expressed in various directions concerning the pro- ceedings at the Washington Conference, are nu: shared in authoritative British circles. While the possibility of differ ences of opinion arising and temporary setbacks being experienced, is never lost sight of yet the British views is one of rea: satisfaction and great hope, on the naval guestion alone, more has been done than most people, before the opening of the conterence, would have been prepared to expect. But apart from naval disarmament, the utmosi importance is aitached in “his country t» the restoration of world peace, which can not be eifected merely in this way. There is great anxiety regarding the moral atmosphere oi the world, and it is point- ed out that one canuot isolatea 'iemis- phere, or aistinguish between na al and other armament. it s felt the. the re- covery of rue sorld and the - éstoracion of finaucial stability must ¢ .pend upon the treatiment of armamen’ questions as a world-wide issne. So far as f(yreat Britain is concerned, sae wants to em- ploy her unemployed and pay her debts, and she 1s gravely disquieted by any symptoms whch seem to threaten the continuance of insincerity and unrest. Whether in Europe ¢r elsewhere,the Brit- ish Govt. is determined to answer the United States summons in every direc- tion, in the general purpose of ridding tr. “world of the menace of a new war’’. ““The statement adds that this being the Premier’s view, his desire to go toc Wash- ington is stronger ‘than ever, but until a week, ‘‘a fateful period in lrish history’’ is passed, it is impossible to say whether he will leave England.
