If you do, what will be the disastrous consequences not only to Ulster, but to this country and the Empire?
Will my fellow-countryman"-- and at this emphatic word, which jettisoned absolutely the theory of two nations, the speaker turned to his left, where Redmond sat in his accustomed place below the gangway--"will my fellow-countryman, the leader of the Nationalist Party, have gained anything?
I will agree with him--I do not believe he wants to triumph any more than I do.

But will he have gained anything if he takes over these people and then applies for what he used to call--at all events his party used to call--the enemies of the people to come in and coerce them into obedience?
No, sir; one false step taken in relation to Ulster will, in my opinion, render for ever impossible a solution of the Irish question.

I say this to my Nationalist fellow-countrymen, and, indeed, also to the Government: you have never tried to win over Ulster.

You have never tried to understand her position.

You have never alleged, and can never allege, that this Bill gives her one atom of advantage." Then, carried away by the course of his argument, an angry note came into his voice, and before a minute had passed we were back in the old atmosphere.
