IRISH FREE STATE
OATH OF ALLEGIANCE ABOLITION INTENDED. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, March 15. In making a formal announcement that at tho week-end the Dail would adjourn till April 20, Mr Do Valera, speaking in Gaelic, definitely announced that lie intended to remove the oath of allegiance, as he had a mandate to do. When that was done there was no reasonable excuse for anyone not obeying the law. Mr Cosgrave, speaking in English, resented Labour holding the balance of power, enabling Fianua Fail to control the election of chairman in a partisan spirit, which was contrary to parliamentary custom. . Mr Sean M'Ehtee (Minister of Finance) announced that the Free State would retain land annuities due to Britain. On the question of tariffs the Government’s policy was that nothing would be imported that could he made or grown in the Free State.
