him to go, inasmuch us tho lottor does

Tho Invitation came' like a bomb

opened a now chapter in tho rotations

bringing tho vproBpects of poaco im
measurably nearer.
Be Valera has personally rocclvcd
tho premier's letter but, obviously, Is
unable to, say whether he will accept
until he has consultd his colleagues.
There would probably bo a great re
action against tho Sinn Fein 'here In
the ovont of a point blank refusal to
