LONDON; August 17,
The “Daily Telegraph’s” Dublin correspondent says: It is n o w realised that the Government ’may decide to force an election with the abolition of the Senate as the main objective. This would win much support. On the ■other hand, Mr de Valera has lost .some support by the revival of the Public Safety Act. The suggested surtax would be imposed on the incomes over two thousand sterling per annum, affecting about two' thousand of the taxpayers..
The “Daily Telegraph’s” Dublin correspondent says: A. striking example of the plight of farmers wa ( s given at the opening day of the autumn sheep sales here, only fiftytwo sheen being sold out of a thousand. Some lots brought no Lids, while others went at 12 and 13 shillings per head, the highest price being one guinea for Cheviot ewes, hut only 20 were sold at this 'figure.
