You will have read in the cables of the reception accorded the delegates on their return to Dublin with copies of the Treaty in their pockets. It is said here that this is a very good illustration of the difficulty that has always been ex perienced when efforts have been made to placate the Irish: Mr. de Valera and other extremists promptly rejected the profered settlement, with the result that you know: The Spanish-American "Pre sident of the Irish Republic -the State that has never had an existence except on paper is a type of the irreconcilable that is the despair of men of affairs. They want their own way, all the time, without any concession" on their part to complete the bargain.

The true account of this is to be found in the "Iste Mr. Ken- nelly Jones's book, "Fleet Street and Downing Street." Mr. Walter, the chief proprietor of the paper, being obliged to sell a portion of his interest in the Times, entered into negotiations with Sir Arthur (then Mr.) Pearson, and the deal was completed. But Mr. Buckle, the editor, and Mr. Moberly Bell, be manager, had not beer consulted. The first intimation they had of what was

Any one of these could prevent a change in the ownership of the paper, except it was sanctioned by the Courts.
