IRELANDS FINANCES

LONDON, May 27. A sensation has been caused in Dublin by th© publication of a letter from Mr Redmond dissociating himself beforehand with the findings of the Treasury Committee. He states that he stands on th© report of the Childers Commission, and declares that he reserves absolute liberty of action to his party in th© critical and trying times before it. A Treasury Committee was appointed last month to consider the financial relationship between Ireland and Great Britain. The members of the commission are the Rev. Denis Kelly, Roman Ca-tholio Bishop of Ross (member of the Agricultural Board for Ireland, and Royal Commissioner on Poor Laws and the Relief of Distress in 1906-9); Lord Piriri© (chairman of Harland and Wolff's shipbuilding and engnieering- establishment); Mr Adams (formerly statistician to the Irish Agricultural Department) ; Mr Honry Neville Gladstone (third son of the late Mr W. E. Gladstone, who was a member of the Treasury Committee on National Guaranteo for War Risks of Shipping, 1906-8); Mr Frederick Huth Jackson (a director of the Bank of England); Mr W. Plender (a leading London accountant); and Sir Henry Primrose (chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue, 1899-1907), be chairman.
