"TILL FURTHER NOTICE."

(United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright)

(Eeceived 11 a.m.) LONDON, August 27

The Northern Ireland Government has prohibited General O'Ouffy entering any part of North Ireland till further notice. This is the result of General O'Duffy's proposal to extend the operations of the Blue Shirts to Ulster.

Commenting on the prohibition General O'Duffy stated: "Evidently Viscount Craigavon sees in the Blue Shirts a danger to the continuance of a partitioned Ireland. Many northerners are convinced our policy is the only hope of Irish unity."

A later message from Northern Ireland states that the authorities have also banned Mr. Sean O'Kelly from entering Ulster.

Mr. O'Kolly is Vice-President of the Irish Free State, and Minister for Local Government and Public Health.

COMMUNIST BASIS.

Another New Party Rising in

Free State.

AIM AT WORKERS' REPUBLIC

LONDON, August 27

The Dublin correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" states that a now development in politics in the Irish Free State promises trouble.

Leading members of the Irish Republican Army have resigned to form a new organisation with a view to declaring a workers' republic, and are already recruiting for a militant citizens' army in connection with the scheme, which visualises a final struggle for ppwer with the Blue Shirts.

A so-called Republican Congress, which is recruiting for the citizens' army, uses Communist catch-words, although it denies that it accepts all that Communism stands for in Russia.

Nevertheless, the aims include the seizure of the Government and the banks and tho division of big farms into free plots for the unemployed.

Tho congress is seeking recruits among' factory workers, small farmers, farm labourers and the unemployed.

The leaders include the novelist and playwright O'Donnell, George Gilmore, who led an armed raid to Mountjoy prison and rescued 17 prisoners, Frank Ryan, editor of "An Phoblaeht," the Irish Republican Army organ, and Michael Price, formerly director of training in the Irish Republican Army.
