PREMIER'S CHANGE OF TONE
UNIONISTS "CHILLED TO THE MARROW." DEFENSIVE PREPARATIONS MUST CONTINUE. (Received December 4th, 9.45 p.m) LONDON, December 4. Lord Lansdowne, speaking at Glasgow, said that Ulster was being sold and driven out of the Union to be put under the heel of the secret societies which virtually regulated Irish affairs. The exclusion of Ulster would be a mast unsatisfactory settlement, but while the Premier's overtures at Ladybank had indicated that there would be changes in the Bill, necessitated by tho exclusion of Ulster, also that there might be some extension of the principle of devolution, his Leeds speech had chilled Unionists to the marrow. Lord Haldane, w&p was one of the finest artists in oil, had endeavoured to calm the troubled waters, but the situation remained full of danger. "We must be prepared for the worst," continued Lord Lansdowne. "The Unionists of Ireland have no reason to desist in their preparations, and the Unionists of England will continue to give all the encouragement possible."
