Dali EIREANN
IN HOT DEBATE
Today'S Session Expected 10
Show Opposition to Treaty

Dublin. Dec. s (By Associated
Press)-The Dali Eireann cabinet as
sembled here today to consider the
treaty signed in London by the Sim
Fein and British delegates creating
an Irish free state. Its action is
fraught with great significance, as it
is expected to develop for the first
time the real. attitude of canon De
Valera and his cOunsellers toward
the treaty on which the republican
leader has thus far steadfastly re-
fused to comment His continued
silence has been interpreted in many
quarters as indicating his dissatis-
faction with the terms.
Talk of a possible split in the Dali
cabinet over the terms is increasing
and the designations of some of the
cabinet members are predicted,
among them Cathal Drugha Charles
Burgess) minister of defense. Some
of the leading members of the cabi-
net are known to object to the form
of the oath of allegiance laid down
in the treaty. Regardless of possible
differences, however, it is believed
the agreement will be approved, in
principle, at least.
The public maintains the same
semblance of indifference toward the
agreement noticeable when the news
was first received The people seem
generally satisfied, but refrain from
expressing their feelings in any out
ward demonstrations, appearing to be
waiting for somebody to give the
lead, as if not quite certain what at
titude to take. Possibly the return
of the Irish delegates from London
today may evoke some tangible ex-
preston of the popular view, but
meanwhile the leaders keep their
own counsel and evade woud-be
ouestioners. This attitude was
shown when Mr.. De Valera arrived
at Mansion House yesterday; II small
group of admirers began Wclcoin-
ing demonstration but the republican
leader hurried inside the building as
if eager to escape notice.
Republicans of the rank and hle
make no secret of their dislike OF the
oath involving fidelity to the brltiSh
sovereign and criticize among other
features of the treaty the appoint
ment of a governor general ana the
financial clauses. Women repuol-
can organizations are especially an
tagonistic toward what they call a
''surrendcr to England"
Nobody doubts that there viii he
strong republican opposition in the
Dali when the time for action arrives,
but moderate opinion predicts that
thew will prove a troublesome
minority.

Mankind, after passing through the
stone age, the bronze age and the
varying phases of civilization. now
faces the dawn of new era. Thomas
Edison. in a recent interview, declared
that we have entered into the Age OF
Chemistry and the remarkable achieve
ments of laboratory workers serve to
substantiate this statement.
It is difficult to prophosy how great
will be the contribution of chemists
to our present civilization, but SO
great is the expectancy that it is cyl

The synthetic chemist has been able
to produce practically all necessary

from coal tar, but it has only touched

a banquet for the members of the re-

ambushes and snares. On land air
tight gas tanks will be used in front

OPINION SPLIT
ON irish PEACE
Much Diversity Of Opinion Re.
garding Effect Of De Valera's
Telegram To Premier

LONDON, Sept. 20.-(By Asso-
ciated Press There was decided
diversity in the views prevalent here
today regarding the effect of the
latest telegram of Eamonn De Va
lera to Premier Lloyd George,
whether it means a rupture or for
ward towards conference looking to
an Irish settlement CThis diversity
of opinion was notably apparent in
newspaper comment, although a ma
iority of the journals are still opti-
mistic.
De Valera, after meeting of his
cabinet Monday, sent the telegram to
Premier Lloyd George declaring that
the Sim Fein had no thought at any
time of asking for the acceptance of
any conditions precedent to con-
ference. He requested the premier
to say whether his letter of Septem-
her 7 was intended to be a demand
for surrender or an invitation to u
conference "free on both sides, and
without prejudice should an agree
ment not be reached"
In the latter case De Valera states
he would confirm the Sim Fein ac-
ceptance of the invitation and the
Irish delegates would meet the rep
resentatives of the government.
De Valera also suggests the con-
clusion of "a treaty of accommoda-
ton and association" expressing the
belief that this would lend the dis
pute forever and enable the two ma
tions to settle down in peace"
The nature Of the message from
De Valera necessitates further eX-
change of kilograms, unless some sort
of an ultimatum forthcoming

Wall Street Journal Expert Puts

6,5OO,O0O Bales

More than 100000 worth of spot
cotton was sold in Americus before
noon today. One warehouse reported
sale of 750 bales and another 800
bales, making e total of more than
1000 bales. The price paid was 20
cents for good middling, or 500 per
bale of 500 pounds. These sales,
made early in the day, exhausted the
demand for the time, although other
cotton was available for sale at that
price.
The bull market, which started on
the exchanges Monday continued
Tuesday, with the market opening a
half cent higher and scoring even
higher during the session. Strong
Liverpool market strengthened the
American demand and buoyed prices.
Realizing in the last few monutes
of the session resulted in a weak
close and drop in futures of half a
cent.

JAPAN

A peculiar angle of disarmament
is that japanese newspapers think
limitation of armies will cause more
argument than the naval end, at the
Washington conference
Japan and France are the only
two big powers that still have peace
time conscription.
The Japanese attitude probably is
that, in an emergency, Japan could
build battleships faster than armies.
Also. battleships would not be any
good at putting down revolutions
