COSGRAVE WILL RESUME OFFICE
DEFINITE DECISION STILL TO ADMINISTER IRISH FREE STATE British Wireless—Press Assn Copyright Reed. 11.20 a.m. RUGBY, Friday. The Executive Council of the Irish Free State has decided definitely to maintain the administration of the country. The correspondent of “The Times” understands that at the Cabinet meeting one or two Ministers were disposed to compel Mr. Eamonn de Valera the Republican leader, to take office, but that the majority recognised the Government’s large responsibilities to the State. Mr. Heffernan, who will probably be the new leader of the Farmers’ Party, which with five representatives in the Dail supports the Government, disagrees with this decision, on the ground that a few months of office would expose the futility of Mr. De Valera’s programme. Public opinion, as a whole, however, accepts the Government’s continued tenure of power with sincere relief. —A. and N.Z.
