IRISH ATTITUDE TO BRITAIN
♦ BETTER FEELING NOW PREVALENT ISaOCUTIOV TKLBOBtM.) AUCKLAND, December 23. A much better feeling is now shown in Ireland towards Britain, stated Mr F A. Wyatt, a businessman; who arrived by the Orford to-day, and who has been in Dublin for more than 40 years. The recent agreement reached between Mr Neville Chamberlain and Mr E. de Valera had resulted in far brighter prospects for both countries than he would have thought possible 12 months ago, he said. Mr Wyatt added that union between Northern Ireland and Eire would come, though not in the lifetime of the present generation. Sentiment was growing towards that in the border towns. Places like Londonderry, which was the port for the County of Donegal, had suffered because of the trade and tariff restrictions.
