FREE STATE ARMY.
NOT ORGANISED FOR WAR.
LONDON, April 13.
The Free State army was the subject of a debate in the Dail Eirann. General Mulcahy (Commander-in-Chief), replying to criticism of its control, said he did not believe the State was organising the army for war. It would be disastrous for the Free State to engage in war with another country. The army was not a war machine, but one which pulled the country out of a difficult situation, and helped to develop national characteristics, of which they were proud. — (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
