FREE STATE'S. PART
HIGH COMMISSIONER MAY NOT
ATTEND
LONDON, January 27.
The Dublin correspondent of "The Times" says: "It is increasingly evident that the Free State Government does not intend to participate in the Royal funeral in any way implying loyalty either to the Crown or Commonwealth of Nations. Even whether Mr. J. W. Dulanty, High Commissioner, will represent the Government at the London ceremonies has not yet been announced.
"Meanwhile, although 70 members of the Irish Bar sent a message of sympathy to King Edward, other members pointed out that the message was entirely private and must not be regarded as an expression of corporate feeling. The Chief Justice also explains that the suspension of sittings of the Supreme Court on January 28 was due
to a request.by barristers desiring to attend church services."
