...have a majority in the Dail only if supported by both his own Fianna Fail Party and the Irish Labor Party. Up to last week nearly all Englishmen and numerous Irishmen had supposed that the Irish Labor Party was dead set against two of victorious de Valera's pet projects: 1) abolition of the oath of allegiance to King George which is required of members of the Dail; 2) repudiation of the $25,000,000 payments annually made by the Irish Free State to Britons who used to own land in Ireland- the famed "absentee landlords."

His pet dog had disappeared; he had been living for days on such canned food as he had in the kitchen. Given a chance to clear out, Capt. Davis said scornfully: "This is my home and here I stay." And there he stayed...
...thrown the 35-pound weith to take a first, with Kidder some inches behind; Hawes, in spite of his recent leg injury, ought to give a good account of himself in the dash. Yale, at least, will have no threat in the two mile race, which is the Bulldog pet weakness this season. Estes and Murphy are slated to give the Crimson some six points in this event...
