Declares Ireland
Sovereign State
(C. P. by Guardll.n‘s Special Wire)
DUBLIN, May 1--lSatu.rday)-
The new "constitution of Ireland"
wa: officially issued today by
President Eamon de Valera of the
Irish Free State. _
Declaring all Ireland, ‘which is
given its ancient name of “Elre,"
a “sovereig'n, independent demo-
cratic state," the constitution con-
tains two provisions regarded as
intended to cover Northern Ire-
land in the event of fusion of the
two parts of the country now sep-
arately administered.
It also provides for continuance
of “international cooperation in
matters of common concern,"
without mentioning directly the
King or the British Commonwealth
of Nations.
In this regard it propo'~es that
F63"-li" “ms the bus M011 dwlafed or adopt any organ, instrument or
s
method of procedure used or adopted
. for like purposes by any group in
the League of Nations with which
Eire is Jr becomes associated for
the purpose of international co-
operation in matters of common
concern."
Provision is made that pending
reintegration of the national ter-
ritory and without prejudice to the
right to exercise jurisdiction of all
Ireland, the constitution shall be
applicable only to the existing
Free Sta-te 'area.
Provisions regarded as dealing
with Northern Ireland were that
subordinate legislatures may be rc-
oognlzed and English may be per-
mitted lo be the sole official lan-
guage of s. portion of the country.
Otherwise Irish becomes the na-
tional language with English rele-
gated to second place. At present
Irish and English enjoy equal
status in the Free State.
Hailed as a personal triumph for
de Valera., the document declares
the "inalienable" right of the Irish
people to choose their ovm form
of government and provides for
election of a. President by direct
vote. "'
De Valera will offer the new
constitution for ratification in a
plebiscito to be held simultaneously
with the general elections, expec-
ted late in June.
“The Irish Nation," the new con-
stitution reads, "hereby affirms its
, inalienable sovereign right to_
.' choose its own form cf government,
to detumlne relations with other
nations and to develop its life,
political, economic and cultural, in

MlADR.ID, April 30-Sinking of
the Insurgent warship Espana. by
government airmen in the Bay of
Biscay today brought rejoicing but
no relief from bombardment to
tired Madrid.
Insurgents again poured shells
into the centre of the city, killing
two persons and wounding 14. Most
of the shells fell in the Gran Via
and the Puerta Del Sol.
Because May day was expected to.
produce an intense bombardment of
the city tomorrow, there will be no
parades tomorrow and instead of a
celebration the government called
for intensified work, "particularly
in war industries." _
Madrid civilian leaders left for
Valencia to discuss defence prob-
lems. Supplies and evacuation were
chief subjects to be considered.
