Elections for June 17; Government Explains Dublin, May 27.
A surprise was caused here when Mr. Eamon de Valera, Premier of Eire, decided to dissolve Parliament.
The official communique announcing the decision points out that no stable majority was found in the Chamber and that consequently the Government was: at the mercy of porty manœuvres. Such a position, in the view of Mr. de Valera's Cabinet, would not allow the Government to take adequate care of) the country's interests.
The date for the new elections has been set at June 17 and the new Dail is to convene on July 30.—Havas,
