HOW UNITY
MAY BE ACHIEVED
TALKS IN DUBLIN AND WESTMINSTER THE two most important
aspects of the Anglo-Irish differences now. being closely studied in Dublin and at West-
minster are:
The unity of Ireland wherely the North of Ireland would killi enjoy is present autonomy, but would be under a Federal Far- Hament in Dublin,
The strategie common neeraaj- tles of the two islands, naval and air, with great emphasis on
that of the air..
It is understood that the unity of Ireland on the above fines would be strongly supported and approved by the British Government, provided that the Free State would agree un-. conditionally to come under the same status of full membership of the Com- monwealth of Nutions of Canadu, New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa now come.

Safety of the populations of the large congested

Safety of essential transport of the

FRIENDSHIP
The solution of these major diffi- culties would go a very long way, and probably the whole way, to make
permanent relations of the very closest friendship between Ireland and Great Britain.
