CALM IN IRELAND
NEW ACT’S EFFECT [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] (Rec. October 28, 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, October 27. The “News-Chronicle’s” Dublin correspondent states: — Calm prevails throughout the Free State, but people everywhere are wondering whether this heralds a new era of peace, or whether the gunmen are merely lying low. It is admitted that since the new Public Safety Act, there has not been a single violent incident, but it is pointed out that Mr. Cosgrave thus far has confined himself to proclamations and warnings.> The Irish Republican’s army is still fully armed, and it is therefore being asked whether the Act is having the desired result, or whether, as Mr. de Valera suggested, it is merely driving the revolutionary element more underground. Well-informed circles fear a- serious outbreak, if the Government attempts to act with undue severity.
