IRISH SITUATION INTRODUCED BY THE DEPARTURE OF MR. J. H. THOMAS FOR DUBLIN ON THE INVITATION OF MR, DE VALERA, IS GIVEN CONSIDERABLE PROMINENCE IN TO. DAY'S NEWSPAPERS.

Approval of the British Government's decision to accept the invitation is general, but there is a notable exception, the Morning Post, which condemns accept- ance of the de Valera offer, suggesting that the Irish leader is merely trying to throw upon Britain the re- sponsibility for failure to secure the economic advan- tages resulting from the Ottawa Conference.

The Times, however, attributes Mr. de Valera's action to the general discontent in South Ireland with de Valera's financial policy which, it says, has doubtless brought the Irish leader to the conclusion that his original course of denying a case for any discussion with the British Government was leading him straight to disaster.

The swift turn of events in German politics following the ́carefully-plotted overthrow
