THE FREE STATE.
NEW GOVERNOR-GENERAL
MR DE VALERA’S AIM.
LOOSENING THE TIES,
United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyrlgnt. (Received Nov. 29, 10.30 a.m.) DUBLIN, Nov. 28. 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-Generalship cannot be abolished, but its importance can be so diminished that its eventual abolition will be desirable. LONDON, Nov. 28. The Guardian says Mr Buckley has probably been chosen for the Gover-nor-Generalship because as a widower he would not occypy the Vice-Regal Lodge, or exercise hospitality, and may return £BOOO or £9OOO of his salary of £IO,OOO to the State Treasury.
WILL NOT MEET KING. POLICEMAN AS AIDE-DE-CAMP. FEW CEREMONIAL FUNCTIONS. United Press Assn. —F.lec- Tel. Copyrlgnt. (Received Nov. 29, 10.30 a.m.) DUBLIN, Nov. 28. It is understood that Mr Buckley, the new Governor-General of the Free State, is not going to London to meet the King. Instead of the usual military aide-de-camp Mr Buckley will probably appoint a policeman, and it is also likely he will abandon most of the ceremonial functions.
