INO FORMAL AGREEMENT JUST YET BETWEEN BRITAIN AND EIRE
LONDON, TO-DAY.
THE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN UNITED - KINGDOM MINISTERS AND MR. DE VALERA AND HIS COLLEAGUES WERE CONTINUED AT DOWNING. STREET YESTERDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON, AND COMMUNIQUES ISSUED AT THE END OF EACH SESSION INDICATE THAT THE DIS- CUSSION BEGUN ON MONDAY WAS CONTINUED AND THAT SOME OF THE MATTERS DISCUSSED ON MONDAY CAME UNDER FURTHER REVIEW.
The discussions will be resumed at noon to-day and a meeting has been arranged for 10 o'clock at the Board of Trade between the Minis- ters specially concerned with ques- tions of trade and agriculture.
It is thought likely in well-in- formed circles that the preliminary stage of these conversations will be concluded to-day and that Mr. de Valera and his colleagues will be able to return to Dublin either this evening or to-morrow.
