I fered dominion home rule within the
British empire. similar to the govern
ment of South Africa.
While failure has marked all efforts
to penetrate the official secrecy, home
rule is the most favored prediction of
those best qualified to see beyond the
veil that has obscured details OF the
negotiations since deValera came to
London.
1t is understood that the proposals.
which are said TO have been supple
mented in many respects by sugges'
tions from Premier j. G. SHUTS OF
South Africa, accord a considerable
measure OF fiscal freedom TO Ireland,
but avoid extending rights Of taxation
against England. which the latter
might not be able to exercise in return
against Ireland
The prime minister presided over a
meeting OF the cabinet council last
night and gave his ministers n detailed
history OF recent Irish negotiations, as
well as his own view of the situation.
Following this he submitted the, pro-
posals which will be given to de Val
