The "Irish Times" champions the right 1 of a new Centre party to be born into Irish politics. It says that the old Southern Unionists ar e not only willing, but anxious, to assist in making the Free State. The old constitutional Nationalists will be glad to join them. There are many men of character and ability in the ranks of Sinn Fein who will find themselves almost naturally members of the new Centre party if the"£ree State makes a good start. Irishmen who achieved distinction in other lands will add to the strength and p-estige of the moderate party.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.) DE VALERA AND CHILDERS. CAPTURE REPORTED.
