A PRINCE OF IRELAND PLAN Suggested Free State Link With Britain

HOW UNITY

MAY BE ACHIEVED

TALKS IN DUBLIN AND WESTMINSTER THE two most important

aspects of the Anglo-Irish differences now being closely studied in Dublin and at West-

minster are:

The unlly of Ireland whereby the North of Ireland would sit enjoy its present autonomy, bul would be under a Federal Par- llament i Dublin.

The strategic commen necessi- tles of the two stands, naval and air, with great emphasis on that of the air.

It is understood that the unity of Ireland on the above lines would be strongly supported and approved by the British Government, provided that the Free State would agree un- conditionally to come under the same status of full membership of the Cum- monwealth of Nations na Canada, New Zealand. Australia, and South Africa now come.

The air plons of Great Britain are wenk strategically in their desire to protect absolutely the Inhabitants of Great Britain in a great war without the active and close co-operation of the Irish Free State.

The large open spaces in the Free State are of the Greatest importance in a military sense.

Acting in unlly the two countries, allowing for the active co-operation

· of their respective Air Forces, could

plan methods of defence for both

countries which would go for to solve:

Safety of the populations of the large congested areas of Great Britain:

Safety of essential transport of the

State to Great Britain.
