Captain Charles Craig moved an Ulster amendment declining to proceed
with the Bill unless a pledge was forthcoming that the Boundary question should be eliminated, or that any decision of the Boundary Commission should not take effect until the Northern Parliament had approved of it. Captain Craig had, of course, an extraordinarily strong case when-he declared that Ulster had been led to believe that the Boundary Cured by the Act of October, 1920, was the last word on the subject. If Ulster had not believed that—had not been encouraged to
believe it by the definite promises of the Government—she would never have accepted the Bill and set up her Parliament. The best thing now, as it --seemed to him, was to submit the whole.queetion to a tribunal-of two-representatives who shotdd report to the respectiver heads of the two Governments.
