NO UNION JACKS SEEN
ABSENCE NOTED FROM DUBLIN DECORATIONS PAPAL AND HUSH FLAGS Times Cable LONDON, Monday. The Dublin correspondent of “The Times' - says the capital of the Irish Free State was lavishly decorated for the celebration of the centenary of Roman Catholic emancipation. In a medley of flags of all nations, the Free State and Papal flags predominating, not a single Union JacL was visible. This fact gives point tr» abe comment of the “Irish Times" that, under the new regime, symbols and traditions dear to thousands of Irish hearts are being discouraged. The “Irish Times” says it regards the endorsement by the President of the Dail. Mr. W. T. Cosgrave, of the refusal of the Governor-General. Mr. James McNeill, to attend the Trinity College sports because “God Save the King” would be played, as a calculated development by the Government of an anti-imperial policy. That policy, it says, the bulk of the educated citizens—Protestant and Roman Catholic alike—regard with growing alarm.
