DE VALERA WORRIED
POSITION OF COUNTRY FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES DUBLIN, 3rd April. Tin* rival Easter Day processions in Dublin emphasised the growing cleavage between Mr de Valera and his followers. The Irish Republican Army contingents seemed to he drawn from the working classes. Mr de Valera’s procession was decidedly middle-class. Mr de Valera looked weary and
anxious. The tide appears to be setting against him. Local reports suggest that even the small farmers of West Ireland talk of repudiating hiin. The assumption of Mr de Valera of the unpleasant task of preparing the Budget >s adding to his worries. While lie will he able to finance the con-stantlv-h'.preasing expenditure for some, months longer, there must he ultimately a test of credit in the open market, when the investor probably will fail to respond. • Tlie adverse trade balance is 'increasing and the finances of county councds are in a deplorable condition, because of the farmers’ unwillingness and inability to pay rates.
