IRISH APPEALS
TO PRIVY COUNCIL. United Press Association— By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, May 6." “The growth of friendly relations between the Irish Free State and Britain depends on the complete elimination, in form as well as in substance, of any appearance of inequality,” declared President Cosgrave in a speech at the Government Party’s annual convention at Dublin. “The main question outstanding between us and Britain,” he said, “is that' of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and of .appeals to that body from our Supreme Court. The appeals are ait anomaly and an anachronism and their continuance is incompatible with our status, and an insult to our dignity and our sense of fair play. In the interests of both countries and of their better friendship this appeal must disappear, and that- soon.” “The Free State,” said President Cosgrave possessed not- only the right, but the capacity to govern itself.”
