Ulster Under Empire Defence

Speaking before the Ulster Parliament yesterday, Lord Craigavon. replied to a question put by the Independent Unionists whether "it is true thay Northern Ireland is not adequately protected, and how is lhe border going to be made safe?"

"You need not be at all nervous ahong war precautions," was Lord Craigavon's reassuring answer.

"We are part and parcel of the United Kingdom, and the Imperial Parliament is- equally responsible for defences here. I place absolute reliance on any steps taken in the event of national emergency." Reuter.
