REBJKES BLASPHEluY
 NV IRISH PARLIAMENT

BELFAST, July 1).-A challenge of practice what you preach" has been hurled at the Irish Free State parliament by the Irish Times in an article berating members of the Dali Eireann for using profans language
 The word damn" and the use of Gods name as an expletive is not "infrequent," charges the paper. Neither of the chief parties can afford to reproach the other and on some occasions cabinet minis ters have been fragrant offenders. Parliament is setting a thoroughly bad example to the country, which in this matter needs most urgent ly a good example from it's legisla- tors.
 '"The use of obscene and profane language is shockingly widespread among the uneducated classe throughout Ireland, language that does not appear in the worst book that ever escaped censorship. Yet the very parliament that proposes a censorship of books refuses to put bridle on it's own tongues.
 "The coarseness and vulgarity of political discussion injure the Free State in the worlds eyes and fill her sons with shame"

 Besides all these, there is fed eral parliament and governor gen. eral, also sent out from England All these legislative bodies-seven parliaments, six governors and one governor general, are deemed neces- sary to look after the affairs of 6,O00,0OO people.

 We believe the government should assist in the erection of four or five super-power transmit ters of at least 5000 watts out put power; one on the extreme east coast, which would serve ves- sels on the Atlantic; one or two in the eastern provinces, one in the midwest and one of the extreme west coast, for vessels on the Pa cific.
 "These and other selected Cana dian stations should receive ample subsidies from the dominion and provincial governments and loans to enable them to improve equip ment. This should secure the best possible entertainment and other broadcasting features for Canadian cities"
 The report also recommended that the radio licenses in the dominion should be increased from $1 to $2.50 thus providing income which would help meet the expenses of subsidlz- ing the stations.
