VOCATIONAL
SCHOOL ASSURED
International Site Accepted and Con-
tract Closed by Government
Officials.

III spite of the fact that the officials
of the Vocational School Board, some
2Aree months ago, approved and
Recommended the international Ship
building townsite and wood yard for
one of the Government vocational
Schools, for the training of disabled
soldiers, many Of our citizens doubted
its coming, and would not credit the
assurance OF those of our citizens in
close touch with the matter, and who
were cooperating with the officials,
but all doubt has been removed, as
shown by the following letter receiv-
ed by Mr.. Claude Delmas, whose
efforts in the matter have been un-
firing.
New Orleans, La, Feb. 9th, 1921
Dear Mr.. Delmas:
This is to advise that lease on the
buildings for the training center at
Pascagoula has been accepted by the
board I expect within the next day
or two to receive definite allotment
for expenses at this station and we
will then Immediately proceed to
establish the school.
With best wishes, / am,
Very truly yours,
(Signed) l.. r. FULLER,
District Vocational Officer.
The assured fact, coupled with other
being worked out, and
fair prospect for some railroad de-
in the near future promises
much for our city, and if our citizens
will now grsp every opportunity and
make cooperative fight for every
hing in sight, the future of the port I
s an assured fact. 1

the agreement reached with the
British plenipotentiaries IN London.
Not once did We demand recog-
milton of the Irish republic, know
ing it would have been impossible
TO secure it." he said
Reads Lloyd George Letter.
Mr.. Griffith then dilated on the
advantages the treaty would bring
to Ireland He read a letter which
had been received from Prime Min
lister Lloyd George early in the
negotiations, saying the govern
ment proposed making Ireland CO.
equal win the other British domin-
ions and to secure for Ireland a
place in the League OF Nations
The letter also promised the with
drawal of the naval and military
forces from Ireland when the
agreement was ratified
Mr.. Griffith said the oath OF allie
glance agreed on was one which
any Irishman can take with honor
He concluded by urging the Dali
to ratify his resolution and the
Irish people everywhere to confirm
it.
Hearty applause was given him
as he resumed his seat
President de Valera then rose to
move the rejection of the treaty.
81 am against this treaty because
it will not end the conflict between
Great Britain and Ireland" he de-
clared. Il am against the treaty
because 1 am for peace, not war. :"
He argued that the Irish people
would never be reconciled to the
agreement, and vigorously de-
nounced the treaty as "subverting
the public"
De Valera Denounces Allegiance.
He dwelt at length on the alleg-
lance feature of the document, in
Weighing in fmpassioned tones
against what he declared would be
the ignominy of the Irish people
taking the oath of allegiance to the
British king. He paid tribute,
however, to the delegates who
signed the pact, saying what they
did was in their excess of love for
Ireland"

argument for rejection declared:
