"Partition" Hurdle Is Neatly Negotiated
London, Jan. 17.
The AnglolIrish discussions opened at 2.30 p.m. to-day in the Cabinet room at No. 10 Downing Street after both delega tinos had lunched together at No. 11. After two and a half hours of Anglo-Eire talks, the conference adjourned for tea."
Mr. Oliver Stanley, President of the Board of Trade and Mr. W. S. Morrison, Minister for Agriculture were present when the discussions were resumed after an interval of half an hour, and it is believed that the afternoon discussions, when Sir Thomas Inskip, Minister for Co-Ordination of Defence was present, made good progress.
The fact that the Ministers for Trade and Agriculture were called in indicates that the negotiators have good prospects of getting down to concrete issues. It it believed the first hurdle of Partition was nego- tiated, though the manner and ex- tent is at present not known.
To-day's talks lasted 34 hours, and afterwards it was agreed that the following communique be issued: "A meeting was held between represen- tatives of the Government of Eire and representatives of the United Kingdom Government at 10, Downing Street, with the Prime Minister in the choir.
A general survey of out- standing questions, affecting relations of the two countries was discussed. The meeting adjourned after 6.301 p.m., and will be resumed to-morrow at noon."--Renter.

It is likely the Irish will succeed in bringing up the unification issue but not of settling it, though it is believed agreement might be reached to con- sider the question after a given period of time, which some observers believe will satisfy Mr. De Valera.
It is understood that while he is in London, Mr. De Valera will ask Mr. Neville Chamberlain to approve
