between the British and Irish pleni
potentiares for the establishment OF
the Irish Free State and the re-
sultant split In the Dali Eireann
cabinet have completely overshadow-
ed all other developments in the situ-
Natlon. The best opinion is that the
split among Dali Eireann leaders
will not affect plans for the opening
of parliament Wednesday, the same
day on which the Dahl Eireann is too

The outcome of the cabinet vote
seems at this distance impossible Of
prediction. DeVaiera will have
strong supporters In his demand for
an Irish republic Government cir
lies In London, however, remain con-
Vinced that Sir Arthur Griffith and
Michael Collins and their supporters
will win the day as 1t is felt that the
moderates will follow this group.
