DUBLIN, January 22.-The Free
mans Journal says The Queens
speech opening Parliament yesterday
was an opportunist attempt to please
both Irish parties. 1t has a tendency
to propitiate the stronger party and
Gisappoint the Loyalists.
The IRISH Times says " The decla-
ration of the Queen that the union shall
not be broken is an anchorage for the
Loyalists. The wisdom Of Parliament
will settle the rest. The foes of the
Constitution have been dIsarmed."
