IRISH FREE STATE.
EQUALITY WITH BRITAIN. BY CABLE—PEESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT LONDON, Dec. 14. An interesting development has arisen in connection with the status of the Irish Free State, which claims independent powers in relation to treaty-making and a co-equal status with .Britain. The Free State registered with the secretariat of the League of Nations a treaty with Britain, constituting the Free State. The British Government informed the secretariat that it considered that there was nothing in the League’s covenant which could regulate the relations between the different parts ef the British Empire. Therefore the treaty did not come within Article 18 of the covenant.
