The fact that Senato has taken the defiant line suggests the weakacsa af Mr. DE VALERA's position. The Army Comrades Association, which has quickly sprung into prominence. bears the mark of a movement on Fascisti lines, to keep the dis orderly elements in control by meet ing violence with violence.
While conceding Mr. DE VALERA'S success at the last elections it must not be forgotten that Mr. Cus. ORAVE's party had hold office for ten years, and the inevitable wish for a change contributed to the mild victory of Fianna Fail. There was, however, no
