Lord Hugh Cecil, member of the Privy Council of Eng land, who Is the guest of Lord Iindon derry'H family in Mount Stewart, County Down, has suggested a scheme by which Ireland would be made un Independent kingdom, its king to be a member of the Windsor family, prob ably the Prince of Wales, to be ap pointed by the King of England.

Lord Hugh then outlined his plan, adding, "I write this in no spirit of optimism." The significance of Lord nugh's pro posal comes from the fact that he is the guest of the Londonderry family, tho greatest member of which was Lord Castlereagh, to whom more than to auvbody else tho breaking up of Henry Gruttan's Irish Parliament and the passing nf the Act of Union in 1S00 were due.
