Meantime Mr. Justice Feetham appeals to the Anglo Irish public and press to abstain from controversial comment on questions involved in article 12 of the Treaty.

The Government had iso depided to ask the judicial committee to advise thein regarding the. legal and constitutional powers to constitute the Commission.
The committee would include the Chief Justice of Australia and he hoped also a member of the Canadian bench.

sues in July.
