IRISH To STAND firm,

BY Associated Press TO Every Evening.
Dublin, Aug. 16.-Sunming up their
impressions Of the Dali Eireann meet
ing today. political observers who
have been closely following the irish
situation gave tfTsse views.
That the whole atmosphere of the
meeting including Mr.. de Valera s
speech had given the impression that
the attitude created by the Republican
leaders reply TO the British govern
ment would be maintained. his speech
suggesting that the reply already
drafted by the Dali Eiresnn Cabinet
would show an unyielding position.
That il would be indorsed unanimous
~ by the Dal Eireann they consider
ed a certainty.
The oath taken by the members,
some of the observers asserted, would
have been called high treason in the
old days. In it the members swore
not to yield voluntary support 10 the
pretended government authority and
power within Ireland"
The view expressed was that if the
decision OF the parliament was not
TO stand absolutely on the position in
dicated by Mr.. de Valera in his previ-
Gus communication TO Mr.. Lloyd
George. there We're only two alterna-
tive ways out-the submission of the
question 70 a plebiscite Of the people
and a move on the part of the gov
crnment TO induce Ulster TO come into
the proposed dominion.
