Mi- Andrews, on his return from London. said he was unable at present to make a statement on his interview with Mr Churchill. Five thousand Nationalists at an open-air meeting gave a pledge that they would "solemnly resist conscription by the most effective means at our disposal consonant with the law of God." The Northern Ireland Labour Party passed a resolution stating that it did not deviate from its belief that Nazi aggression, if not defeated, would result in a subjugated Ireland, and adding: "We believe that before conscription is considered a plebiscite should bo taken."
