De Valera's Xmas Message On New Constitution

Dublin, To-day.

IN his Christmas message to the Irish people, Pre- sident Eamonn de Valera referred to the new Irish Constitution, which will come into force to-morrow (Tuesday) as the "harvest gained from a century of sacrifice" and as "liberation from the obligations imposed upon the Irish nation."

President de Valera said that the Irish people now stood on the threshold of a new era.

It was centuries since any gen- eration of Irishmen had such pos- sibilities as now belonged to the present one.

NATIONAL HOLIDAY

The day on which the new Con- Istitution came into force, when the Irish Free State would disappear and its place be taken by "Eire," would be declared a national holi day.

In this new State, Mr. de Valera will bear the official title of Prime Minister.
