...Eire in a general election for the Dail Eireann (lower house) last week returned lanky, professorial Prime Minister Eamon de Valera and his government to power for five more years. At last reports "Dev's" Fianna Fail party had captured 70 of the 138 seats, the Fine Gael party of his oldtime opponent, former President William T. Cosgrave, 40 seats, the Labor party six and the Independents seven. Under Eire's involved system of proportional representation, the final tabulation will be a matter of days but observers held that of the 15 unconfirmed seats, five would...

To his chief opposition, the Fine Gael of William Cosgrave, he could point out the embryonic trade pacts. To the fiercely nationalistic Sinn Feiners he could recall his "32 counties or nothing." To the British he could offer his readiness to shelve partition for a practical settlement...
