 ''fhe world will know that we are entering upon the task prompted by the doer se~en of justice which sus- tained this land through these last years of sacrifice.'
 Tle house and galleries were crowded. but fl was noticeable that no nationalist members were present when the premier began his address. Extra precautions had been taken to have guards at all the entrances and careful scrutiny was exercised in order to prevent possible Sim Fein disturb anees.
