IRISH FREE STATE
COUNCIL DECIDES TO CARRY ON. GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSIBILITIES. (British Official Wireless). Rugby, Sept. 23. The Executive Council of the Irish Free State has decided definitely to maintain the administration of the country. The correspondent of “The Times” understands that at a Cabinet meeting one or two Ministers were disposed to compel Mr. de Valera to take office but that the majority recognised the Government’s large responsibilities to the State. Mr. Heffernan, who will probably be the new leader of the Farmers’ Party which, with five representatives in Dail supports the Government, disagrees with this decision on the ground that a few months of office would evpose the futility of Mr de Valera’s programme.
Public opinion as a whole, however, accepts the Government’s continued tenure of power with sincere relief.
