Last fall the status was revised and it now meets all Mr. de Valera's conditions. The last Imperial Conference* (TIME, Nov. 1 et seq.), by changing the King's title gave Ireland nominal full sovereignty within the Commonwealth; for by that decision George V became as much King of Ireland as he is King of England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc. Today Irishmen in the Free States who are loyal to the treaty toast the King not as the English monarch but as the King of Ireland...
