De Valera To Bar The Feminine King From Constitution Soldiers
MR. de Valera will leave out direct reference to the King in the
new Constitution of the Irish Free State which he will intro- duce in the Dail in the first week of next month.
Thus, with the Senate abolished, the office of Governor- General to be abolished, and no reference to the King, the Free State would become nominally a republic and presumably would cease to belong to the British Commonwealth of Nations, says a special correspondent of the Sunday Dispatch.
•
Mr. de Valera, however, wants to have a republic and at the same time satisfy the large number of people in the Free State who favour retaining the link with the British Empire.
