WILL CARRY ON.
COSGRAVE CABINET. Should De Valera Be Made To Take Office ? PUBLIC GBEATLY BELIEVED. (British Official Wireless.)
(Received 1.30 p.m.) RUGBY, September 23. The Executive Council of the Irish Free State has decided definitely to maintain the Administration of the country. The correspondent of the "Times" understands that at a Cabinet meeting one or two of the Ministers were disposed to compel Mr. de Valera, the Republican leader, to take office, but that the majority recognised the Government's large responsibilities to the State. Mr. Heffernan, who will probably be the new leader of the Farmers' party, which, with five representatives in the Dail, supports the Government, disagrees with this decision, on the ground that a few months of office would expose the futility of de Valera's programme. Public opinion as a whole, however, accepts the Government's continued tenure of power with sincere relief.
