DE VALERA. ABOLITION OF THE OATH. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegra pli.—Copy r i gift .) (Received this day at 11.15 a.m.) LONDON, February 26. De Valera, wlio>.is still abed with a chill, lias answered the “Daily Telegraph” questionaire. He anticipated that there would be no difficulty in securing a majority for the abolition of the oath, and the matter .was likely to be raised at ,an early meeting of the New Dail. V Il<- contended time to foster trade, and friendly relations.' with Britain were possible. Ireland would still be represented at Ottawa, and he was prepared to negotiate • agreements giving preference to British goods, in return for preference to Free State produce. The Free State standing army would be reduced to the smallest dimensions consistent with safety, and he did not anticipate any disorder if the Public Safety Act were repealed. To the contrary, he believes the removal of the oath would seeftre a willing obedience to the law.
