The Unionists of Ulster are ap- pealing for sympathy on the ground tha an Irish Jiament will oppress them and deprive. of liberty of speech and act- ion. - It is to be expected, therefore, that they will set the example of encouraging liberty of free.speech at Belfast. The Ulster Unionists also believe that Home Rule for Ireland is wrong, and will not stand the test. of reason and argument. They must then believe that the'more free- ly Home Rule is discussed, the more will its weakness appear. On the other hand Mr, Winston Churchill believes that he can convert Ulster to Home Rule. Why not let him . If he. is right, his policy ought-to be carried -out. If-he-is wrong, the more-he-talks the more it will-appear that he is wrong. For these reasons we are loth to believe that those who defend the revolution of 1688 will try to prevent free speech. Toronto Star, ot 0: THIS DATE IN HISTORY. January 31. ist, born.

The de- cision would rest with the treasury officials who would probably seize the: chance of securiig a large sum through death duties, Mr. Morgan's inquiries here convinced him that there was danger of this: Therefore, he has made atrangements to remove his collection gradually.
