NATIONAL PARTY.
IRISH MOVEMENT. Obstacles to Anti-De Valera Bloc Overcome. GEN. O'DUFFY NEW LEADER. (United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, August 29. General O'Duffy, leader of the National Guard, has returned to Dublin in connection with the movement toward the federation of all opposition parties under his leadership. The correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" learns definitely that all obstacles to fusion have now been removed, but official announcements are not expected for a while. The Cosgrave party will lose its distinctive but clumsy Irish title and join forces with the Centre party and the National Guard under the title of the National party. All will accept General O'Duffy's leadership. It is expected that the Independents and others will also join, thus presenting a united front, the great aim being to secure reconciliation with England before the havoc of economic war is irretrievable.
