' | ertainly would feel very much streng j ~d, by the knowledge that if unt | war: ~vepts arise at any time, thidy| House will be called together so that the | feelings of the members and the feel- | ings of the Ulster people may be voiced | on any proposals put before us. I have | received no further invitation-to a | conference in Londonorelsewhere, and | may be I will receive no such invitation | in the near future. This resolution will guard against anything uuexpected. Re- ! plying to questicns concerning the con- | ferencef Sir James said’”’ the reasons | that led us to make decision to enter | the conference in Downing Sireet in July still hold good. To refuse to go in | would leave us open to the greeatest misrepresentatior. 2cross the water, 1 ha/ea feeling that we might be let down bebhind our backs.

The f programme of the agitator at present is | apparently to challenge the Govt. by | organizing meetings at which resolutions | containing charges against the Govern meni will "be adopted.

Bth.- A Reuter ecable from Melbourne says that the premier, referring to an interview with the Aus- tralian {Emicrationj Agent, cabled from Loundon, which is allezed to have recom mended the despateh of 100,000 emizrants vearly to Australia from the British lsles, says it would be foily to pour such a population in Australia until adeqaate arrangemenis have been made for mak- ing thew wealth producers.
