MOKE BELFAST FIRES. THE POLICY OF ULSTER. PREMIER STANDS FIRM, ■! By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, March 28. Further fires occurred in Belfast. While a small crowd had collected to watch a fire at a jam factory a bomb was thrown, injuring three. Sir James Craig, speaking in the Ulster Parliament, said he would not deviate an inch from the policy he had pursued throughout. He would not have spoken prior to the conference in London if Mr. Collins had not suggested that he had failed to keep his word. Sir James Craig denied that he had ever broken any agreement with Mr. Collins. There were still 07,000 unemployed in Ulster, therefore it was impossible to find work for exiled workers, but the Loyalists had admitted the principle of admitting Catholics when trade revived. That was a great step forward. Sir James Craig repudiated the suggestion that Belfast Protestants were carrying out a pogrom against Catholics. He wanted to create a helpful and not a destructive atmosphere for the London conference and earnestly hoped that even at the eleventh hour reason and sense would be substituted for vindictiveness and hatred.
