HEALY IS CERTAIN TO BE NOMINATED S et ag Dublin_Almost Certain Veteran Wili Be First Governor General of Free State. London, Dec. 4, (By Associated Fress)-—The appointment of Timothy Healy as the first governor general of the Irish frec stat: is now regarded 4s a certainty. It is understood the to him some time ago and that its final allotment to the veteran champion of Irish auton- omy depended only upon his accept- ance, That acceptance, according to sev- eral of the bést informed correspond- ents in Dublin, has now been given and the consensus today was the an- nouncement “the king has been pleas- ed to appoint” will immediately fol- low the declaration of his majesty's assent to the Irish bill which will pass its third and final reading in the hall tonight. The ‘appointment of Healy is re- garded sympathetically here. “Tim's" sharp tongue, with which in the past he has sometimes goaded his oppen- ents in the house of commons, has been forgotten by the present genera- tion and although it was recalled to- day by parliamentary writers, these | rgemories weré brought up without bRterness and stress was laid rathér | jupon Mr. Healy's unquestioned elev- orn and 38 years of experience in | v mentary life as fitting him lor\ the new post. It is believed that a! majority of his own countrymen will extend him a hearty welcome. Members of the Irish government, of whom Kevin O'Higgins, minister of home affairs, is Mr. Healy's nephew, | are reported as unanimously sup- | porting the appointment. It is stat-| ed also that the Irish cabinet is al- ready considerably indebted to Mr. Healy for practical advice in its tech- nicaldetails of parliamentary conduct | and gdministration.

Wherever consistent with protection of the government's interests and of those of individuals who have reposed confidence in it,- Mr. Daugherty said, the department of justice stands réady to meet Mr. Keller's demand_ for ac- cess' to documents, To do so ’n ‘cer- tain important matters now in prepar- ion for presentation to the proper tribunals,” he sa would be “higly injurious to interests of the people.” CHILDREN ARE THANKFUL Rev. 4.
