Astonishing proposals for a settlement of Anglo-Irish Jubileo of the Prince of Wales on July 13 next year. differences, published in the Irish Independent recently, were
officially denied in Dublin, In London, however, the proposals 14,000 People
were regarded as "kito-flying," possibly inspired by Mr. Do Valera,
No such scheme is likely to be entertained by the British Wear Out A
Government, though it is considered not improbable that new negotiations for a settlement may be instituted shortly.
The Irish Independent states that the proposals are:
"A Republican form of
·Government for the Free.State and a Treaty of Association with the Commonwealth.
"A scheme for an association between the Free State and the sia counties which, it is hoped, will eventually lead to a Federal Association,
"The creation of a moderately substantial Free State Navy.
"The evacuation of British forces from Queenstown and Berehaven ports.
"No Governor-General and no. oath of Allegiance."

"Great Britain would, it is said, be prepared to sell the Free State the necessary war- ships. About 10 ships are sug- gested as necessary to con- stitute a small squadron. Two may be of the cruiser class and the balance destroyers and torpedo craft.
"The price, it is stated, would run into a substantial sum: a figure of £5,000,000 was mentioned. On tho purchase of the ships them British, it is sald, would be pre- pared to wipe out the debt which, they say, the Free State owes them,
£1,000,000 A YEAR
"The Free State would maintain the ships and train the crews. The cost of paying interest and sinking fund on the loan to be raised to pay for the ships may be around £250,000 per annum, while the cost of maintaining the now Navy may ba £750,000 per annum-a total of passibly £1,000,000 per annum."
"Under the scheme outlined the British would be prepared to withdraw from the Free State ports.
"OD the political side, au the atory goes, Britain would be pre- pared to sign a new Treaty of As- sociation between the Free State and herself which would amount to -an-illance freely-entered-Into-for offensive and defensive purposes for the protection of this country against foreign invasion,
"Under the new nasociation with Britain, according to the reports, Free State would assume & Re- publican form of Government. There would be no Governor General and no Oath of Allegiance. "The scheme would be based on an elaboration of Document No. 2. which President De Valera proposed In 1922 as something ho would be prepared to consider na an alterna- tive to the Treaty.
"That document provided for a form of what was described as 'external association' with the British Commonwealth."
