DUBLIN, Nov. 29.—President Cos- Brave, speaking in the Provisional Parliament last night, declared that “a gang !s actually at work to assas- sinate members of this House."

We ace not concerned with what history sass. but it is saving @ weak-kneed people suffering from lack of moral courage which almost submerges the country. “We are going to save the countiy from such a lack, and no Deputy fears the regult of stern action. We do not fear the daggers and bullets of irres- ulars, We are dealing with a situa- tion In which men only can take part.” In conclusion, the President declared the Government was going to estab- lish a real democracy no matter who suffered because of it.
