Ottawa, Aug. 19.

Relations now existing be- tween the Irish and United King- dom delegates at Ottawa are so much happier that strong hopes are entertained that the Anglo- Irish quarrel will soon be a thing of the past,

The leading figures in the move towards rapprochement have been the Rt. Hon. Mr. J. H.! Thomas and Mr. Sean O'Kelly,} Vice-President of the Free State) Council.

This highly satisfactory hint of a possible burying of the hatchet emanates from Trish quarters at the Imperial Conference, where it is stated that conversations. be- tween Mr. Thomas and Mr. O'Kel- ty have been directed towards what! İş termed "An agreement to: agree."

This, it suggested, is to be fol. lowed almost immediately by the re- moval, both by the United Kingdom and the Free State of the recent militant customs tariffx."

When he was sighted over Nova Scotia this after- noon he was about three hours ahead of his schedule. It was calculated that he still had enough fuel to carry him on to New York and this was believed to be his in- tension, but he landed at Pennfield Ridge as he was feel- ing. too tired to continue. Mollison is the

The fact that he was employing a light aeroplane makes the first achievement doubly brilliant. If he succeeds in completing the double journey he will, in the opinion of most aviation authorities, have achieved the most remarkable feat in the history of flying.
