RELATIONS WITH IRELAND
POPULAR SENTIMENT GRATIFIED.
(Received 23rd November, 11 a.m.)
LONDON, 22nd November. The Dublin correspondent of "The Times" says that there is every likelihood that the Irish people will bo satisfied that the work of the Conference will strengthen tho position of the Government of the Free State, to which tho Conference conceded changes effecting a welcome improvement in the relations between London and Dublin. Tho establishment of Dominion autonomy will gratify popular sentiment. While allegianco is established to a common King, the ties of blood are the real Lord of the Empire. Tho Free State delegates accepted the obligation, not merely in letter, but in spirit. Henceforward, loyalty to the Crown will ccaso to bo a party political question. The old Unionist classes should bo fully reconciled to the new regime. The change in the King's title gives .special pleasure since it translates the old ideal of a Kingdom of Ireland into practice. The changed status of tho Governor-General to the King's direct representative is also welcome. A probable early result will be the appointment of a British High Commissioner in Dublin, followed by a northern Irish representative at Dublin, and a Free State High Commissioner at Belfast.
