circles that President Griffith will
hold an Irish election in two months
nnd that tho new parliament will bu
assembled Immediately to draw up

evacuation of Ireland by British mil
itary forces because British officials

Tho British cabinet Ih convinced
that interleronco by British soldiers
or police or any attempt by the
British military authorities to main
tain order in Ireland might lead to
tragic consequences In fact, somo
officials go bo far an to predict that
Interference by the British military
forces might wreck the Irish Free
State.
Consequently, it has been decided
to let tho young state meet Its first
gigantic test of strength without mo
lestation from tho outside.
Colonial Socrotary Winston
Churchill said that tho royal decreo
ot amnesty was Great Britain'), first
official action In recognizing Ire
land's dominion status..
