Exaggerated Fears. That effort is a practical response to the fact that Ireland's economic growth has shown some signs of slowing down. Last year the number of tourists dropped 6% from 1969. Says Eamonn Keane, marketing director of the Irish Tourist Board: "The troubles in Northern Ireland have frightened a lot of people." They may also have discouraged some new investment in the Republic. In fact, the fears of tourists and investors are exaggerated: life in the South is still stable, and foreigners are still cosseted.

President Elected. The legislators of the Irish Free State were, indeed, governing it and themselves very well last week, when they assembled in the first parliament to sit since the recent election (TIME, June 20, 27). Disorder seemed likely as the Fianna Fail ("Republican") deputies, led by famed Eamonn De Valera, appeared, and, for the first time, threatened en masse to take their seats-while persisting in their refusal to take the oath of fealty to George V without which no deputy elected to the Dail can sit therein...

On that day Eamonn (Edward) de Valera distinguished himself by capturing Boland's Bakery, which he ingeniously utilized as a fortress and a food supply base. From Boland's Bakery he vaulted through an orgy of terror to the presidency of "We Ourselves," which constituted "the Irish Republic." When the Irish Free State Agreement was negotiated...
