yesterday announced the immediate
dissolution of the Free State 1egisla-

did not have sufficient margin of

To Convene October IL.
On request of the executive council
Gov. Gen. Healy agreed to proclaim
dissolution of the Oireachtas, consist.
ing of the Dali Eireann, or Chamber
of Deputies, and the Seanad Eireaun,
or Senate. He set October II for the
convening of the new Legislature.
Mr.. Cosgrave said that the entry

ated a situation entirely different from
that envisaged by the electorate at the
last election.
1T is necessary" the statement said
in conclusion, ito bring an end to a
parlia mentary situation in which the
work of the nation cannot be done.
Eamonn de Valera issued state
ment declaring the government
"sharp practice of rushing the coun-
trv into an election during the harvest
is exactly what was expected. l am
confident the forces of Irish Ireland
win stand shoulder to shoulder in this
final battle against imperialism.

The governments adherents are con-
fident that when the new Dali assem-
bles in October the president will have
an effective majority.
Election Call Criticized.
An act of desperation and a chal'
lenge to democracy is how Tom John
son, Laborite and opposition leader In
the Dali Eireann, describes the Free
state ministry's move in calling for
dissolution of the Legislature and gen.
eral elections.
"On the pretext of financial Sc
curity," he says, "the government,
realizing it's weakness in the Dali and
in the country, is seeking to snatch
party advantage and return to power
as an instrument of reactionary ele-
ments in the country"
He predicts the government Will be
defeated when the masses take up the
challenge and declare at the polls that
"the country must be governed not by
and for small section, but by the
people and for the people,"
