Oster and Ireland. By James Winder Good. (Maunsel. 6s. net.)—There
is nothing new in this Nationalist diatribe against Protestant Ulster, except perhaps the frank admission, qualified afterwards, that there is a fundamental difference between Ulster and the rest of Ireland, and the warning to Sinn Fein that " while England might conceivably be coerced, not perhaps by brce of arms, but by the exigencies of the international situation, into conceding the Sinn Fein demand, her surrender would be nullified if Ireland failed to win Ulster by reason and by argu- ment." Mr. Good is very angry with Sir Edward Carson, but he expresses a grudging admiration for the honest and hard-working people of Belfast. Like most Nationalists, he is silent about the real difficulty in Ireland. Until the Roman Catholic Church ceases to aim at temporal dominion, the Ulster Protestants cannot accept the rule of a Dublin Parliament; but, though Mr. Good possibly knows this, he may not say it.
