MALTA, June 3. An amazing unreserved apology to the Bishops by Lord Strickland for his antagonism towards the authority of the Church has drama- itically ended the Church-State dis-
pute.
As a result of the apology, the Bishops have withdrawn their Pastoral Letter, issued in May 1930, enjoining the electorate not to vote for the Lord Strickland Party.
Are:

Rvory, June The Dominion Secretary, Mr. J. H. Thomas, in the House of Com- monя to-day, said that discussions preliminary to the Ottawa Confer ence had been taking placs with Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Newfoundland and Southern Rhodesia and also with India, but not with the Irish Free
State,
In further answers, he explain- ed that this was because, at the present moment the Irish Free State Government had repudiated the agreement entered into by the representative of the Free State and of the United Kingdom.
"We feel no good purpose could be served by entering into further | negotiations with the people until they show they are ready to ob- Borve the agreement."
Th Irish Free State would at- tend at Ottawa at the invitation of the Canadian "Government. He did not know what would happen there so far as the Free State was concerned but the British Govern- ment could not assume that the treaty would receive more sanctity. at Ottawa than in London.
