IRELAND SEEKS SEAT
ANTICIPATING AUSTRALIA
SARCASTIC COMMENT
United Press , Association—By Electric Tele-1 graph—Copyright. Australian Press Association. (Deceived 7th October, 11 a.m.) DUBLIN, 6th; October. In reference to the Irish Free State's claim for Canada's seat on tho League Council, the "Irish Times" says: "Perhaps Mr. M'Gilligan will succeed in his attempt to oust Australia from membership of the Council. Perhaps he will fail. The Melbourne "Argus" advises him not to count his chickens before they were hatched, but who will dare oppose the candidature of a nation which has given a lead to the world in tho matter of disarmament. Has Geneva killed our proverbial sense of humour? The Free State has become a partner in the greatest family of nations tho world has ever known, yet her representatives have set thcmselves^"to weaken the links which bind members of that family together."
