KINGDOM OF IRELAND.
—«— PERSONAL RULE BY HIS MAJESTY. PROFESSOR KEITH'S NEW PROPOSAL. "PRESENT POSITION DISCREDITS THE CROWN." (L-KITED PRESS ASSOCIATION— BY M.ECTAIC TELEGIUrK—COFYRIGHT.) (Received February 3, 7 p.m.) LONDON, February 2. "I hope Great Britain will allow Mr K. Aa "Valera to abolish the office of Governor-General," says Professor A. Berriedale Keith (the eminent constitutional authority), in a letter to the "Scotsman." "A Governor shorn of ceremonial trappings has neither power, prestige, nor influence, and discredits the Crown. "His Majesty should personally perform the Governor's functions, thus emphasising that Ibo Irish Free State is a distinct kingdom. He could delegate portion of his duties to the Chief Justice, or to the President of the Council. It will be a serious blunder not to remove this source of discord."
