The four questions which were reviewed at the Anglo-Irish meet- ings were Partition, Defence, Finance and Trade.

The Partition question has been laid aside since Britain made it perfectly clear that it was a subject which must be discussed be- tween Northern Ireland and Eire, and that Britain could "not even think of putting pressure upon Northern Ireland to come to any ar- rangement which might not commend itself to the Northern Ireland Government.

"After the most careful con- sideration of all the circumstances, and after dre consideration by the Chiefs of Staff, we, came to the conclusion that a friendly Ireland was worth far more to us, both In peace and in war, than our paper rights under the 1921 Treaty. These Treaty fights were only maintained perhaps by increasing the old II-will between the two nations."
