Eire Agreement Seen as Great British Success Boston, June 23.
The settlement of the Irish question was the greatest success for British polities in three hundred years, Mr. Joseph P. Kennedy, United States Ambassador to Britain, stated to press representatives here today.
He stressed that the effects of the settlement of the problem go beyond the Irish question itself.
It proves.to the world that when Mr. Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister, attempts to conclude an agreement he concludes it on equity able bases acceptable to both sides.
"Mr, Chamberlain may henceforth negotiate with dictators with the reputation of being absolutely correct in his dealings and nobódy has the right to criticize his manner of guiding Great Britain's policy," Mr. Kennedy concluded.—Havas. most serious break in the dyke occurred.
As the roads between Huayuankou and Chengchow are reported to be badly flooded, the investigator went north-westwards via Kwangwu, about 20 miles north-west of Chengchow, in order to reach the Yellow River bank.
He then walked to Huayuankou along. the Yellow River dykes. When he had reached a point 400 yards away from Huayuankou, the investigator was already able to hear ihe rushing waters pouring through the breaks in the dykes, he reported.
The actual width of the break, the investigator reported, is only about 100 yards, but after flowing southwards for 600 yards the flood waters spread, he stated.
At Chingshuicheng, about four miles from the Yellow River, according to the investigator's statement, the flood waters turn south-eastwards towards Chungmou, where they join with the flood waters flowing through the dyke break at Chaokou.
At their widest point, thi flood ovaters measure ten miles a and at their narrowest point one mile across, the investigator found.
At their deepest, he said, they measure nine feet, and at their shallow west are only knee high.
