DUBLIN, 28th November.
It is understood that the new Gover-nor-General, Mr. Donal'Buckley, is not going to London to meet the King. Instead of the usual military aides-de-camp Mr. Bucldey will probably appoint a policeman. It is also likely; that he will abandon most of the ceremonial functions. .■-..-.
The "Manchester .. Guardian" says that Mr. Buckley was probably chosen because as a widower he would not occupy 'the Vice-Regal Lodge and exercise hospitality and would return. £8000 or £9000 of his salary to the Treasury. '*' . . , ■
The "Irish Times," in a leader, says that the appointment is a step toward the Free State's withdrawal from tne . Empire. Until Mr. de Valera gets a I full mandate the Governor-Generalship-cannot be abolished, but its-importance can so diminish that eventual aboEtioi will be desirable. -
