month has grown to nearly ST 900 900

portant factors in the development of
the internal political situation. It is the
largest fund ever raised in Ireland for

troll OF the Mansion House conference
that body finds itself in position of
greater financial power than any DO

Thus, the conference, unless man.

evident that a situation might arise
where the resignation of the moderates

regarding the control OF the fund
then might be presented.
