 general belief seems to prevail that Ar thur Griffith will move and Michael Col lins will second ratification of the treaty with Great Britain. which will be op- posed by Eamonn De Valera and Erskine Childers. and that each member of the parliament in turn will state the reason for his personal decision on the quest ion. The concensus of opinion is, however that the treaty will be ratified by a small majority.
 One persistent rumor current Is that an l agreement has been reached between the contending sections of the parliament This is to the effect that Richard Mul- cahy, chief of the staff of the Irish re- | publican army. will move ratification ot | the treaty, and that this will be seconded | by Commandant John Joseph McKeown | who recently was released from prison where he was under sentence of death | imposed by a British courtmartial Tn, 1 leaders on each side, it is declared, vii | follow. explaining the nature of the com | promise.

London. Dec IS CBy the A. P).-sun. day was an of day in Irish affairs ex- cept for informal conversations among the Dail Eireann leaders at Dublin. There is an opinion among the Dublin correspondents or the English papers that ratification of the treaty is assured. some going so far as 10 assert that an infor- nal vote taken Saturday revealed sev- enty-four in favor of ratification.
 Sor far as is known. Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier. had no conference with Mir. Lloyd George who spent quiet day at CheqrsTs Court preparatory to meeting the French premier tomorrow. Apparently. therefore there will be 10 opportunity for some days for the prir,s minister 10 find time 10 meet the Ulster leader When the meeting occurs it is understood that the boundaries commits sion will be the chief matter of oonten- ton.
 Reports from Belfast insist that ths Ulster government will refuse to nsnai- nate a member 10 the commission nev-r- theless. 1t is believed force of public opinion in Ireland will eventually bring about acceptance of the commission. be- cause there are large unionist population. in the counties Of Donegal. Monaghan and Cavan. which are excluded from the six county area. and which will hope to derive benefit from such a commission. and will press for acceptance.
