His Majesty makes no reference to any condition or any means whereby this can be achieved, as he wishes to be completely outside tfie realm of politics, but he has intimated that it would be pleasing to him, in view of the fact that his reign had been notable for friendly feelings between his Dominions, if the AngloIrish difference could also be fmt upon a basis of settlement.
CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS.
DUBLIN, February 7.

• Dr Gogarty declared that nithing in the Bill could prevent “Europe’s riffraff” entering the Free State, and becoming citizens. Mr De Valera, replying, said that persons not provided for in the Bill would have to prove the right to become Free State citizens.
