Quarrel Between Ireland
And Britain Is Ended

London.-The centuries-old quarrel
between England and Ireland was end.
ed Tuesday by the signature in the
prime minister's cabinet room of "a
treaty between Great Britain and Ire
land" consisting of 18 articles, giving
Ireland the title of The Irish Free
State and the same constitutional stat
us as Canada, Australia and other
overseas dominions.
The question of allegiance, which up
to the last moment threatened to
wreck the negotiations, was surmount-
ed by permitting the members of the
Irish parliament to swear allegiance to
the constitution of the Irish Free State
and be faithful to his majesty, the
king"
The treaty has yet to run the gaunt-
let Of the Ulster government and Of
the Imperial parliament. The Imper-
ial parliament has been summoned to
meet on December IA, and will be
opened in state by the king, who has
taken the closest personal interest in
the Irish negotiations since he practi-
cally instigated them when he opened
the Ulster parliament.
