Mr. De Valera and his colleagues arrived in London onTuesday,
and on Thursday they went to Downing Street for a prelimieny conference with the Prime Minister. What will be the result of the conference no one dares prophesy, so strangely unblessed are the spirits that preside over Ireland's fate. We can only say that at the moment the omens are favourable. Once more let us remember that the one thing needful is the recognition of the existence of the two Irelands. If that is recognized, every. thing should go smoothly. Given the existing conditions, we, though bp conviction the strongest possible believers in the amnion, desire that not the Minimum but the maximum of concession should be offered to Ireland, provided, of course, that justice is done to the loyalists and Protestants of the south and West.
