The Anglo-Irish talks commenced at 2.30 o’clock, this afternoon in the Cabinet Room at No. 10 Downing Street. The President of Eire (Mr Eamon de A’alera) was accorded an enthusiastic reception as he left his hotel. The police, after their experience at Euston, took no chances and the crowds were kept out of Downing Street by mounted police. The crowd lined both sides of AA’hitehall and attempted to. surge out into the road. As Mr de Valera’s car appeared it broke the cordon, but the police forced the people back. Many Irish, sympathisers, wearing the National colours, cheered frantically. Sir Basil Brooke (Minister of Agriculture for Ulster) said: “We have received definite assurances from the British Government, and have no reason to believe that they will let us down.’’
