THE IRISH BOUNDARY DISPUTE.

London, Sept. 8.
It is hoped in some quarters that the Ulster Government may be influenced in favour of agreeing to appoint a Boundary Com- missioner by the action of Lord Balfour in publishing a letter which Lord Birkenhend, orie of the negotiators of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, wrote him in March 1922, strongly contending that the boundary clause meant that the Boundary Commission was intended to make only minor readjustments, and saying it was inconceivable that any competent and honest arbitrator could take an opposito rlow. Thirty members of the House of Commons, of all parties, are at present touring the boundary region investigating the situation. --Reuter.
