UNITED IRELAND
CONVENTION IN DUBLIN EMPIRE PARTNERSHIP AFFIRMED Pres* Astociation—By Telegraph-Copyright DUBLIN, February 8. (Received February 9, at 1.30 p.m.) Many Blue Shirts were included among the 1,500 delegates to the first convention of the United Ireland Party at the Mansion House. The policy embodies the voluntary reunion of Ireland in an independent State as a free and equal partner of the British Commonwealth without abatement of Irish sovereignty; the reopening with Britain and Ulster of the partition question as an obstacle to partnership; advantageously negotiating a settlement of the Anglo-Irish financial dispute ; also a trade treaty securing most favourable terms for Irish goods. General O‘Duffy was elected president. Ho extolled unity and declared that Mr De Valera was not courageous enough to remain in office and go out of the Commonwealth decently.
