(Recd. March 19, 10 a.m.) LONDON, March 18
The “Sunday Times’s” Dublin correspondent states: The report-that a crucifix is being erected in the Dail has startled members of all denominations. It was hoped the idea would be dropped, but the Committee of Privileges agreed, and now the Dail’s sanction is awaited.
Nevertheless, devout Catholics’ disagree with the suggestion as savouring of profanity, especially as the Dail includes several non-Catholics, and one non-Christian. Moreover, it is a secular body where the general atmosphere and language is sometimes distinctly Un-Christian.
