(Special to The Guardian)

LONDON, Dec. 17.-The Diehnrd Morning Post denounces the Free State's registration at Geneva of the Anglo-Irish Treaty as another move in its game of turning a Dominion in name into a Republic in practice. The contention is that the Free State desires to pave the way for an appeal to the League of Nations, on the interpretion 0i’ the Treaty in case it is disstisfieil with the findings of the boundary commission.

Austen Chamberlain. Foreign See- retsry has entered a. caveat. that the internal relations of the differ- ent parts of the British Common- wealth do not come within the scope of the Covenant. The Free State replies this point is not to be settled by the one-sided declara- tion of Great Britain, but by the words of the Covenant itsolf.
