IRISH FREE STATE
OATH OF ALLEGIANCE BRITAIN’S ATTITUDE. Press Association Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received Monday, 9.5 a.m.) LONDON, Sunday. The “Observer” says:—“lf Do Valera commits a breach of a solemn pact by abolishing the oath of allegiance, Britain will in nowise be alarmed, either by the abolition or its propagandist repercussion in India and South Africa, but she will not pretend to ignore it. She will undoubtedly intimate that in the economic organisation of an Empire just beginning, allegiance and preference go together. If Ireland can dispense with honour, England can better dispense with Irish produce, and if the issue is forced upon her, England will do so without compunction.” DAY OF EXCITEMENT. DUBLIN, Saturday. A day of excitement followed the release of twenty political prisoners. Platoons of Irish Republican Army, which the late Government declared an illegal body, paraded the streets of the city without interference. The newspaper, “The Republic,” appeared in its old form. The sudden change of conditions is keenly resented by Mr Cosgravc’s supporters.
