IRISH FREE STATE’S CLAIM FOR SEAT TO OUST AUSTRALIA? Australian and N.Z. Press Association DUBLIN, Sunday. In a reference to the Irish Free State’s claim to Canada's seat on the Council of the League of Nations, the “Irish Times” says: “Perhaps Mr. Patrick McGilligan, Minister of External Affairs, will succeed in his attempt to oust Australia from membership of the Council. Perhaps he will fail. “The ‘Melbourne Argus’ advises him not to count his chickens before they are hatched, but who will dare to oppose the candidature of a nation which has given a lead to the world in the matter of disarmament? Has Geneva killed our proverbial sense of humour? “The Irish Free State has become a partner in the greatest family of nations the world has ever seen, yet her representatives have set themselves to weaken the links which bind the members of that family together.”
