BRITISH RAT|FY NEW IRISH PEACE TREATY
CHEERS GREET CONFIRMATION AS CHAMBERLAIN ASSAILS
 THE OPPOSITION.
"DlE HARDS" GIVE UP FIGHT
Lord Birkenhead Replies to Carson and Defends the Government in Stirring Speech Before
 Brilliant Audience.

London.-Ratificatio of the Irish peace treaty was given by both houses of the British Parliament by over whelming majorities. The dissident minority in the House of Lords was AT and that in the House of Commons was 58
 In the upper house the vote was 166 to AT in the lower chamber it was 4O1 to 5S.
 Parliament would have been immedi- ately prorogued but for the fact that the government desired to keep 1t in being until the decision by the Dail Eireann is known. The preparations made by the cabinet ministers to keep the House sitting for an exhaustive debate proved useless as the votes in both houses were taken early.
 The speech made in the House of Commons by Andrew Bonar Law, the Unionist leader, in which he declared himself in favor of the agreement, seemingly had taken the life out of the die-hard" opposition, and the result. in the lower chamber was foregone coa- clusion. The only doubt that appeared to remain at the commencement of the session was as to what would be the size of the opposing minority.
 The House of Lords had been tradi- tionally most bitter against any refer ence to Ireland and its attitude, there fore, had presented elements of anx- iety, although the belief had predomi- hated that in the face of the approval of the treaty by the King, the cabinet ministers, the country and the empire, even the Lords could hardly reject the treaty.
 Austen Chamberlain, the government leader in the House of Commons, in his suming up, defended the action of the government in concluding the agree ment with Ireland and his own attitude in supporting it.
 Dealing with Listers criticism that after Ulster had gained ner complete freedom under the act of 1920, the im- perial government in the treaty mad put Ulster into a unite1 Ireland, t9t allowing her the privilege of contra c+. ing out of it. Chamberlain said:
 ''The government would never ss1ave secured recognition by Southern .r-s- land if the right had been given North ern Ireland to remain out of the free State"
 "We are a great empire,'' Chamber lain said in conclusion, "and can afford to be as generous as we are strong. To have the power to forgive is an en- pire's prerogative, and we, who have strength and might, should be the first to exercise the imperial attribute"
 Replying to question, Chamberlain informed the Commons that if the Irish agreement were approved by both sides, the question of the amnesty of all Irish prisoners would be considered.

PUBLISHERS WARNED
 AGAINST CENSOR BILL
Mischievous Interference With Press Freedom, T. R. Williams, President
 of Publishers Association, Says.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Thomas k. Will Hams, president of the American News paper Publishers Association, called upon all members of the organization, as well as publishers generally, to use their efforts to defeat House Bill No. G50S, on the ground that mo such mfschievous interference with press freedom has ever before been seriously proposed in tais country"
 1.-The bill," said Williams in state ment, prohibits publication in news papers of any news likely to lead to gambling. Ostensibly aimed at racing news, it would be equally applicable to large quantity or variety of finan- cial and other news, such as reports of bank clearings, which have been used for gambling in many cities.
 "The unprecedented censorship in- volved in the bill itself is more than sufficient warrant for it's defeat. It's embargo on so much news required for the proper information of business in- tereSts is a strong additional reason. The bills vicious character should be impressed upon the Senate Judiciary Committee, that its defeat will be as- sured
 Tt is pointed out that it would out law even the publication of baseball scores"
 Williams closed his statement by calling on publishers to make ''de- termined demonstration" before the judiciary committee in Washington on l January 10 next.
