Curious rumours, for which there seems to have been no
foundation in fact, were put about at the end of last week that there had been a split among the Ulster Unionists, and that a powerful Unionist deputation was coming to London to request the Prime Minister to grant Dominion Home Rule for Ireland. The Evening Herald, which, as the Morning Post remarks, is usually well informed in Sinn Fein matters, said that the rumour probably " emanated from Dublin Castle and was originated for the purpose of launching a big political campaign." The Evening Herald adds that new blood has been "transfused into the Castle staff." Here, at all events, we come into contact with facts. Sir Hamar Greenwood is himself a Dominion Home Ruler, and the numerous recent changes at Dublin Castle have all been in the direction of removing those who sympathized strongly with the loyalists of Ulster.
