*‘dar
opportunity

Belfast,
July
21st. —lt
is
persistently
reported
tha* Eir James
Craig will resien
as
Premier
of Ulster,
according
to the
Irish
News,
a
nationalist
newspaper.
The repoits
are
based
apparently
on
the
absence
t the Premier
from
Belfast
last
week
for
the
Orange
demonstrations.
Belfast
News
says
that
Sir
James
nane
has
bezn
associsied
with
the
coming
ap-
pointment
to
a colonial Governorship.
It
is stated
that
he
was
offered
a
colonial
post
in 1921,
but
refused,
because
it ne-
cessita‘ed
his
withdrawal
from
Irich
politics during that feritical
period,
‘I he
Premier
has
not
changed
his
views
on
the
proposal
to
settle
the boundary
dis-
pute
between
Ulster
and
the
Free
State
tirough
a boundary
commission,
judgino
from
a
recent
interview
in
which
he
said,
‘'l
am
advised
by the highest
aa-
thorities that the commission
cannot
co-
tinue until
a representative
1s
appo.-nted
by us, and that
we refused
to do.
From
the outset,
the
Premier
added,
''lt
was
apparent
to me that
the
contracting
par-
ties to the Liish Free
State
tailed
(0o make
their agreement
water
tight,
but Ulster
eannot
be
blamed
for that’’.
It
is be-
lieved
here
that
Lord
Carson,
Lord of
appeal
is the highest
legal authority
quo-
ted by Sir James.
