Furthermore, it has been clear for long while
that the best chance to start private activity is
to encourage the utilities to do some Of the

Consequently, the reaction at the end is be-

World of Finance By LesUi5 Haney

DROBABLY the truth lies somewhere between
these two suggestions. The facts appear to
be that the Government is being forced to make
some concessions in order to bolster up its pro
gram to stimulate business before the Nq vem-
Der elections but that it is going to do jVst as
little conceding as it possibly can.
Thus the move in the House to subsidiz1e local
governments for the purpose of competiI zig with
private utilities is dash of cold water. In gen.
eral, it is difficult to see how the PWA is 60
ing to spend the billion planned VIZ 60
ing into the field that privatey-owne d utilities
would ordinarily cover.
This ties in with the general mary let position
which is, one of hesitation and DOUBT.

How Ireland Is Free Nation at Lost

NStbStb M SSSh
 DRIME MINISTER EAMON DE A VALERA seeks a united 1re- land these days as final conclu- sive victory for Irish independence. He seeks a strong government to stamp out the danger of partition. But apparently Ireland stands gen- orally solidifed under the impetus of it's new constitution.
 That constitution declares 1re- land to be a sovereign, independ- ent, democratic state" Actually it divorces Ireland entirely from England. although opportunity is provided for cooperation with England in external affairs. But even more significant is the fact the constitution is framed for the whole of Ireland, its islands, and the territorial seas" So under it De Valera hopes for ultimate unity between the Protestant North and the Roman Catholic counties.
 Allegory of this new Ireland is the constitution stamp shown above. Fire is seated with her right hand resting on harp, sym- bol of Gaelic culture. The Word- ing on the book means "1n the name of the Most Holy Trinity" Incorporation of the arms of the four provinces, Ulster, Munster. Leinster and Connacht signifies that the new constitution is for all Ireland. Hence the term Irish Free State is changed to Fire.
