DUBLIN WON'T BE COERCED

De Valera Can Do What He Pleases

British Stand Unaltered

London, Dec. 28. Although nothing authoritative can be learned at present with regard to the British Government's attitude towards the new Irish Free State Con- siitution, which will be ceremoniously Inaugurated on December 20, it is understood that no drastle changes in the ed the existing state of imperial relations

expected.

It is polated out that any member of the British Commonwealth is free to modify its own status. Also it is several years since the Throne played any part in Irish politics, and the new constitution only confirms the exist- ing situation.

It is not thought probable that Mr. Eamon de Volerä will withdraw from his present measure of co-operation with the Empire. I pointed out that a "paper" annexation of Northern Ireland is Impiled in the change of the name of the Irish Free State, but that il can

can have no practical effect,

Juridically the new constitution will intensify the legal problems raised by the existence of what is practically a Republic Inside મા Commonwealth ruled by a King, but as coercion is out of the question, Mr. de Valera doubtless will be allowed to create what legal status he pleases without objection from the United Kingdom.

BRITISH SHIPYARDS

BOOM

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR 1938

London, Dec. 20. Ship-building has experienced a good year on Clydeside which starts 1930 with 500,000 tons of merchant shipping on order, as well as naval work to the value of £50,000,000.

For ship-building generally, 1937 was made notable by the fact that a greater number of cruisers were com- pleled for the Royal Navy than in any year since the Great War. Seven cruisers, nine destroyers, three sub- marines, three minesweepers and three motor-torpedo heats, as well as various experimental. craft left the yards and joined the feel this year. Tyneside, which has just benefited by two cruisers orders worth £3,000- 000 has more than 40 vessels of a combined tonnage of 330,000 tons under construction.-British Wireless.
