The text is expected to be published to-morrow. Mr. W. T. Cosgrave, the former President, in discussing the agricultural estimatcs, declared that the situation was appalling. The Free State was now in a 20 per cent. worse position than Australia, New Zealand, or Denmark, and could not possibly hc-ar tlie impost. Mr. Cosgrave said the Minister of Agriculture woukl not be long hefore he had nothing to say for agriculture, but prayers for the dead. Mr. Corry (a de Valera-ite and a : farmer) declared that England wouhj not succeed this time. He added: "\V e are sick of crawling to England. If England wants to fight she can have it." Mr. Blythe, an ex-Minister, said the Free State may be led to bankruptcy and cemplete social chaos by the Government's aetion. Do Valera's emergency bill will empower the Executive to impose duties for an uncertified amount, and also to :-et a duty on documents and transactions.
