FREE STATE ANO LEAGUE
CLAIM TO SEAT ON COUNCIL CAUSTIC COMMENT BY PRESS ‘WEAKENING EMPIRE LINKS’ By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Australian Press Association. Received Oct. 6, 11.40 p.m. Dublin, Oct. 5. With reference to the Free State’s claim to Canada’s seat on the League of Nations Council the Irish Times says: “Perhaps Mr. McGilligan will succeed in his attempt to oust Australia from membership of the council, and perhaps he will fail.” A Melbourne message says the Argus advises Mr. McGilligan not to count his chickens before they, are hatched and asks: “But who will dare to oppose the candidature of a nation which has given a lead to the world in the matter of disarmament? Has Geneva killed our proverbial ' sense of humour? The Free State has become a partner in the greatest family of nations the w’orld has ever known; yet her representatives have set themselves to. weaken the links which bind the members of that family together.” ;
