Britain and France might still pariicipnte in a partial evacuati of Basque non-combatants, the o iicials said. They added, however, that "unsurmcuntable physical dif- ficulties" would prevent removal of 150,000, a figure suggested in Bilbao.

Yukon Protests Annexation

claring it had "no confidence" in the financial ability of British Col- umbia. to take over administration of the Yukon Territory, the Yukon Council today passed a resolution ,protesting the proposed annexation of this northem territory by the coast province.

A memorial expressing this oppo-

sition will be sent the Govemor- . General in council. l Breaking a silence maintained since Monday when Premier Pat- tulio of British Columbia announ- ced an agreement had been reach- ed with the Federal govemment whereby the Yukon would be merged with British Columbia, tha council of three elected members passed the resolution “firmly and

empiliatically" protecting the pro- pos .

The coin-lcll urged that the people

cf the Yukon be given 0 chance through pleblscite to vote on the matter. The annexation would be u. "violation of their democratic rights as Canadian citizens" unless their approval was first obtained, the council said.

lionstitution Declares Ireland Sovereign State

(C. P. by Guardll.n‘s Special Wire) DUBLIN, May 1--lSatu.rday)-

The new "constitution of Ireland" wa: officially issued today by President Eamon de Valera of the Irish Free State. _

Declaring all Ireland, ‘which is

given its ancient name of “Elre," a “sovereig'n, independent demo- cratic state," the constitution con- tains two provisions regarded as intended to cover Northern Ire- land in the event of fusion of the two parts of the country now sep- arately administered.

It also provides for continuance

of “international cooperation in matters of common concern," without mentioning directly the King or the British Commonwealth of Nations.

In this regard it propo'~es that

F63"-li" “ms the bus M011 dwlafed or adopt any organ, instrument or

method of procedure used or adopted . for like purposes by any group in the League of Nations with which Eire is Jr becomes associated for the purpose of international co- operation in matters of common concern."

Provision is made that pending

reintegration of the national ter- ritory and without prejudice to the right to exercise jurisdiction of all Ireland, the constitution shall be applicable only to the existing Free Sta-te 'area.

Provisions regarded as dealing

with Northern Ireland were that subordinate legislatures may be rc- oognlzed and English may be per- mitted lo be the sole official lan- guage of s. portion of the country.

Otherwise Irish becomes the na-

tional language with English rele- gated to second place. At present Irish and English enjoy equal status in the Free State.

Hailed as a personal triumph for

de Valera., the document declares the "inalienable" right of the Irish people to choose their ovm form of government and provides for election of a. President by direct vote. "'

De Valera will offer the new

constitution for ratification in a plebiscito to be held simultaneously with the general elections, expec- ted late in June.

“The Irish Nation," the new con-

stitution reads, "hereby affirms its , inalienable sovereign right to_ .' choose its own form cf government, to detumlne relations with other nations and to develop its life, political, economic and cultural, in

(A.P. By Gus.rdtan‘s Special Wire)

MlADR.ID, April 30-Sinking of

the Insurgent warship Espana. by government airmen in the Bay of Biscay today brought rejoicing but no relief from bombardment to tired Madrid.

Insurgents again poured shells

into the centre of the city, killing two persons and wounding 14. Most of the shells fell in the Gran Via and the Puerta Del Sol.

Because May day was expected to.

produce an intense bombardment of the city tomorrow, there will be no parades tomorrow and instead of a celebration the government called for intensified work, "particularly in war industries." _

Madrid civilian leaders left for

Valencia to discuss defence prob- lems. Supplies and evacuation were chief subjects to be considered.
