Dublin,

n, To-day. A move toward consolidating the Opposition against Mr. Eamon De Valera, President of the Irish Free State, into a new Party led by General O'Duffy, Director-General of the Irish National Guard, was made yesterday. The Exe- cutive of the Centre Party decided to re- commend the Party to agree to merge with Mr. W. T Cos grave's Nationalist Party.

The new

Party into which the Na- tional Guard "Blue Shirts" would also merge would be led by General O'Duffy, with Mr. Cosgrave as Party Chairman in the Irish Free State Dail.

Should such Party eventuate, its main plank will be denunciation of the trade war with Eng- land.
