LONDO-'n, 17th June.
Dublin City was lavishly decorated for the. centenary of Koman Catholic emancipation in a medley of flags of all nations, Free State and Papal flags predominating. Not a single Union Jack was visible. This fact gives point to the "Irish Times' " comment that under the new regime symbols and traditions dear to thousands of Irish hearts' are being discouraged. The "Irish Times" regards President Cosgrave's endorsement of the refusal of the Governor-General, Mr. J. M'Neill, to attend Trinity College sports because "God Save the King" would be played as a calculated development by the Government of an anti-Imperial policy, which the bulk of educated citizens, Protestant "and Bonian Catholic alike, regard with growing alarm.
