Irish Press Comment

DUBLIN, Dec. 9.-Commentlns on
the statement of Eamonn de Valera,
opposing the Irish agreement. the
Irish Independent says:
In connection with this develop.
ment the outstanding fact is that on
Sept. II last, the Dali Eireann appoint.
ed five plenipotentlaries TO represent
Ireland ut n conference with represen.
tatives Of the British government to
discuss the Angio-Irish problem and.
II possible, arrive at settlement.
with skill and ability these pleni-
potentiaries discharged the onerous
mission entrusted to them. After long
weeks OF arduous labor and persis-
tent effort, they secured terms and a
settlement which We have no doubt
were the best that in existing condi-
tons could have been extracted.
''As plenipotenuaries they represent
ed the Dali Eireann and the Irish ma
ton and in the exercise OF their power
they signed treaty OF peace.
I'VE submit that in the circum-
stances the nation is In honor bound
to uphold their action. II the posi-
ton were reversed and II the head Of
the British government, together with
members OF the British cabinet sought
to repudiate the treaty the Irish peo-
pie would unhesItatingly condemn their
attitude"
The Irish times says:
THE country will read with deep
dismay the statement Mr.. de Valera
issued last night after n prolonged
meeting OF the Dali Eireann. The
loyalist minority IL ready to put its
faith in the good viii OF which Arthur
Griffith has assured IL. Now de Val
era steps in between Ireland and her
hopes.

PARLIAMENT MAY
OPEN IN SPITE
OF Irish SPLIT
De Valera's Reputation of
Agreement Overshadows
All Other Develop
mentS.
LISTERS ANSWER
ANXIOUSLY AWAITED
The Irish Press is Divided in
Opinion Over Leaders
Action.

LONDON, Dec. 9.--The Reputation
by Eamonn de Valera OF the agree
ment reached between the British and
Irish plenipotentiar1es for the estab-
lshment OF the Irish Free State and
the resultant split in the Dali Eireann
cabinet oyershadowed all other devel-
opments in the Irish situation today.
The receipt Of this news immediately
raised two questions:
what will be the outcome Of the
division among the Irish leaders as
affecting the decision of the Dali
Eireann upon the agreement:
What effect will the situation In
South Ireland have upon the British
governments attitude and the opening
OF the imperial parliament for consid.
GRAFTON Of the agreement?
The best opinion is that the split
among the Dali leaders will not af-
Lament.
After Premier Lloyd George in the
lower house and Lord Birkenhcad in
the upper chamber have explained and
supported the agreement a brief ad-
journment will be taken to await the
vote of the Dali Eireann, which meets
the same day-next Wednesday.
The sessions of the Dali are consid-
cred here as likely to be prolonged
and lively, for 1t is composed of young
men with strong views which they are
in the habit of expressing In force.
Ulster Attitude Watched
Meanwhile the attitude Of Ulster Ia
awaited with interest. Sir James
Craig. Ulster premier, left Belfast for
London last night and was expected to
confer with Prime Minister Lloyd
George at noon. He was accompanied
by large party. including the Mar.

President Harding Expects to
Submit Further NOmina-
tiOns Today.
(ey The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, March 14.-President
Harding today filled three more impor-
tant posts in his administration and ask
ed the senate to again prolong it's spe-
cial session to act on further nomina-
tions he expects to submit tomorrow.
AS assistant secretary of war, the
president named J. Mayhem Wainwright
of New York, who served in the world
war as a national guard colonel 80 the
staff of the Twenty-Seven division,
and as assistant secretary of the treas
ury in charge of foreign loans, he desig-
mated Eliot Wadsworth, of Boston, a re-
tired business man and Red Cross Off
cial. Eugene Meyer. Jr., of New York,
was nominated as a director of the war
finance corporation, a post he had held
under the Wilson administration.
All three of the nominations, along
with a batch of army promotions were
confirmed by the senate without pro-
longed debate.
Whether the names to be sent in at
tomorrow's session will include selections
for the shipping board, remained un-
tions that the president hoped to reach
some decision soon in regard to several
members of the board. During the day
he talked over the matter with Frank c.
Munson, of the Munson Steamship line,
and James A. Farrell, president of the
United States Steel corporation, both of
whom have been mentioned as possible
chairmen of the board but both of
whom denied afterward that they were
under consideration.
When the senate adjourned today it
had acted favorably on all but two nomi-
nations before it. The two nominees who
who failed of confirmation were former
John J. Esch, of Wiscon-
sin, to be a member Of the interstate
commerce commission, and Charles c.
Madison, of Kansas City, Mo, to be
United States attorney for the western
district of Missouri. Both were referred
to committees after objection to their
immediate confirmation had been made
by Senators LaFollette. republican, Wis
consin and Spencer, republican, Missouri.
The list of army officers numbering
about 5000 whose nominations were con-
frmed corresponded to the most part
with that sent to the senate at the last
session by President Wilson.

quest the personal presence of ]. Og-
den Armour and other big packers at
the meeting.
Representatives of the men objected
to the appearance of the two attor-
neys for the employers, declaring that
the absence of the principals would
tend to delay the proceedings. The
packers declared that Mr.. Condor and
Mr.. Meyer would have full authority
to represent them.
