Dr. MacNeill, who no doubt was pressed by Mr. Cosgrave

to resign from the Commission as a result of the Morning Post revelation's, has since resigned from the Free State GovernMent. Perhaps the most interesting remaining question is whether the Award will be published. On Tuesday Mr. Justice Feetham and Mr. J. R. Fisher interviewed representatives of the British Government and expressed their opinion that Dr. MacNeill's resignation from the Commission could not be regarded as " valid or effectual." The conclusion generally drawn from the decisions of the Judicial Com- mittee of the Privy Council last year is not merely that a majority Award holds good, but that it would auto- matically conic into force.
