DISSOLUTION OF DAIL.
THE REASONS ANNOUNCED.
A PRECARIOUS MAJORITY
(United Press Association—Copyright.) LONDON, May 28.
The proclamation dissolving the Dail Eireann stated: “The Government with a precarious majority, consistently at the mercy of a group of combinations supporting sectional interests, could not do the nation’s work as it should be done.”
The decision to hold an election has startled Ireland, which expected that the Government would await the result of the Monoghan by-election on June 7 before fixing the date for the general election. The Monoghan byelection would have been a straight-out fight between the Fianna Fail and the Fine Gael. The nomination day was today, but the by-election is now cancelled, and Dr. Hyde’s installation as President, planned for June 1, is postponed to an unfixed date not later than June 22. Eight Ministers have cancelled arrangements to address meetings to-morrow.
