TROUBLED IRELAND.
FORECAST OF NEW STRUGGLE. FARMERS v. LABOUR. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, June 25. The Dublin correspondent of The Times says that pessimists in Ireland declare that the civil war between the Free Staters and the Republicans was a curtain-raiser to an armed struggle between the farmer and Labour. This is probably a gloomy forecast; but a fierce political struggle, attended by strikes and minor disturbances, i? inevitable. Both sides are organising for the elections. The farmers’ leaders profess the utmost confidence, home neutrals believe that this confidence is justified, but they fear that the farmers will abuse their victory. The Labour leader is a member of the Dail, a Scotsman of moderate views, unlike Mr Larkin ; but ho does not possess Mr Larsin’s influence. Dublin should be Labour’s stronghold, but divisions have crept in between the Larkinitcs and the de Valerites. A strong Fanners’ Conservative Party is likely to arise in the next Dail. —The Times.
