WILL NOT MEET KING
NEW IRISH GOVERNOR STEP TOWARDS REPUBLIC (Elec. Tel. Copyright-—United Press Assn.) (Received Nev. 29, II a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 28. It is understood that the now Free State Governor-General, Mr. Buckley, is not going to London to meet the King. Instead of the usual military aides-de-camp, Mr. Buckley probably will appoint policemen. Ho also is likely to abandon most ceremonial functions. The Manchester Guardian says probably Air. Buckley was chosen because, as lie .is a widower, ho would not occupy the viceregal lodge and exercise hospitality, and would return £BOOO or £9OOO of his salary to the Treasury. The Irish Times, in a leader, says the appointment is a step towards the Free State’s withdrawal from the Empire. Until Mr. De Valera gets a full mandate the Governor-General-ship cannot be abolished, lint the importance of the office can be so diminished that eventual abolition will be desirable.
