Suggest Four Legislatures

LONDON. July 27.-The posi-
bility that four legislatures may be
established in Ireland, one each in
the provinces of Ulster, Munster
Connaugh and Leinster, under a
central national parliament. is limited
at this morning by Sketch, which
says:
ut need not be assumed. as is
dono in some quarters, that under
unificatiop there would be only two
governing authorities under a fed
eral Irish parliament. 1t has almost
been overlooked that there are four
great provinces in Ireland. each with
a historical individuality.
In relation to Sketch's information
the statement is made that subject
to n satisfactory solution of the Irish
unification problem Eamon de Va
lera has intimated he would not
resume the campaign for an inde-
pendent Irish republic or that he
will not seek tho right to raise an
army or the right to enter into
foreign powers. except to the some
extent as these privileges are en-
ioyed by the self-governing domin-
ions of tho British empire.
The Daily Mail mentions reports
OF closer understanding between
the north and south, which, it saws,
diminished the doubt respecting the
ability of rival Irish leaders to meet
and contrive n ground for common
interest.
