Smoking election torches marched through Dublin streets by night last week. "Up de Valera!" roared the torch bearers, and Ireland's hero was carried shoulder high. Excited Irishmen swore on every hand that Eamon de Valera would soon succeed William Thomas Cosgrave as President of the Irish Free State. With a third of the votes still to be counted, Mr. Cosgrave conceded grimly, "It looks as though my Government would...
...least half the hearts in Ireland burns a fierce hatred of the Emblem of Monarchy. To uphold this mere emblem Canadian Premier Bennett has not had to use bullets; but Irish President Cosgrave has, by due process of law. Every year of the past decade batches of Irishmen who wanted a republic badly enough to fight for it have been shot.

Sir John and Sir William were eagerly reclaimed for Ireland last week. One of the three Orpens on view was a severe portrait of Solomon R. Guggenheim. Other paintings on view were a seascape by the late Nathaniel Hone, last survivor of the Barbizon School...
