IRELAND’S PROGRESS

PLACE IN BRITISH COMMONWEALTH QUESTIONS SETTLED SATISFACTORILY Rugby, March 18. At a St. Patrick’s Day dinner last night, the Colonial Secretary, Mr. Amery, reviewed the progress in Ireland since the Irish Treaty. The Free State and Northern Ireland had each set up successfully the mechanism of an effective and stable administration. Each had found the place it wished to have in the British Commonwealth. Questions as to the boundary and finance which were left in a state of uncertainty had been settled, and the general indication of the Free State’s place in the circle of British communities was made clear and satisfactory at the Imperial Conference. On constitutional and political issues Ireland knew where she stood to-day, and she was in a position, perhaps for the first time in her historv, to accept those issues alone and attend to them.—British Official Wireless.
