POLICEMAN AS HIS AIDE
THE NEW IRISH GOVERNOR
SUGGESTIONS OF ECONOMY
REDUCTION OF, CEREMONIAL
“STEP AWAY FROM EMPIRE”
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.
Dublin, November 28.
It is understood that Mr. Daniel Buckley, the newly-appointed GovernorGeneral of the Irish Free State, will not go to London to meet the King. Instead of the usual military aide-de-camp, Mr. Buckley will probably appoint a policeman, and he will probably abandon the most ceremonial functions.
The London Guardian says Mr. Buckley was chosen probably because, as a widower, he would not occupy the viceRegal Lodge and exercise hospitality, thus returning £BOOO or £9OOO of his salary to the Treasurer. “The appointment is a step towards the Free State's withdrawal from the Empire,” says the Irish Times in a leader. “Until Mr. de Valera gets a full mandate the Governor-Generalship cannot be abolished, but its importance can be so diminished that eventual abolition will be desirable.”
