100 years ago today: there is continuing concern regarding
the Ulster crisis. Sir Edward Carson,
the leader of the Ulster Unionist Party stated in his 12th July speech that he
sees “no hope of peace”. The
Parliamentary correspondent notes that the Government hope to “settle the Irish
controversy by the middle of August”. The Government is likely to insist on the
exclusion of Ulster from the Home Rule Bill being settled by county
referendum. A new aviation record has
been broken by Reinhold Boehme who managed to stay in the air for 24 hours and
12 minutes without a break.
