Its main social composition is small businessmen and potty land- owners whose conservative atti- tude toward property rights and fear and hatred for the working People is netorious. The "‘Speci- als” have been used exclusively against Catholic workers and the Catholic poor, & has been the good fortune of the Ulster bour- geotsie that they have never had to use the “Specials” against striking Protestant workers, for that would Certainly unite Protestant and Catholic workers against them and pat an end to the "BR Specials” But even with thetr armed ‘Spe- Clale” Ulster reaction has not beer able to mobilixe sieffictert force to cope with the situation.

A partic- ular problem which Wilson will face is the fact that Ulster Pro- testants will not welcome the in- trusion of British troops. The Deblin government which has been betra ing Repablican interests to the British imperias iste for years, are aleo going to be confroeted with some prot lems.
