TRAGEDY OF THE PAST.
IRELAND COMMENCES NEW ERA. By Telegraph—Press Association— -Copyiight Reuter's Telegrams. (Received April 16, 9.50 a.m.) CAPE TOWN, April 15. General Smuts, in the City Hall, quoted from an intimate personal letter from Air W. T. Cosgrave (Irish Free State Premier) as follows: The British Government has acted in the best of good faith, and we have kept faith with them. General Smuts said he regarded these words as proof that Ireland had at last turned ite back on the blood-stained past, and that a fruitful era of understanding and mutual loyalty between her and Britain would replace the tragedy of the past. General Smuts said he sincerely wished that Ireland, like South Africa, might in her final reconciliation with England, reap a great reward for all her past sufferings.
