IRISH FREE STATE
NEW GOVERNMENT Announces Policy (Aus. & N.Z. Cable Assn). LONDON, March 15. In making a formal announcement that at the week-end the Dail Eireann would adjourn till April 20th, President De Valera, speaking in the Gaelic language, definitely announced that he intended to remove the oath of allegiance, as he had mandate to do. When that was done, however, he said, there would remain no reasonable excuse for anyone not obeying the law. Afr Cosgrave, speaking in English, expressed resentment that Labour was holding the balance of power, enabling the Fianna Fail, he said, to control the election of chairman in a partisan spirit, which was contrary to Parliamentary custom. Air Scan AleEntee, the Alinister of Finance, announced that the Free State would retain the land annuities due to Britain. On the question of tariffs, the Alinister said, the Government’s policy was that nothing should be imported into Ireland that could be made or grown in the Free State.
