the question OF approving the
treaty and that Eamonn de Valera
the Republican president, would
move its disapproval. Today's ses-
sion Of the Dali opened at 11.30
o'clock with Brien O. Higgins in
the chair replacing John MacNeal,
Mr.. de Valera, addressing the Dali
claimed there could be no ques-
ton of the ratification of j, the
treaty by the Dali which he de-
clared could not ratify the past in
the sense Of making it legal in
strument. All the Dali could do
was to approve or disapprove it,
he asserted.
Just before adjournment an
angry exchange took place be-
tween Eamonn de Valera and
Arthur Griffith over the Dali
holding a brief session at the af-
ternoon meeting to hear a state
ment by the minister Of defense.
Griffith asked if the people were
to be "fooled by more private
proceedings. The president res
ponded that it was unworthy Of
Mr.. Griffith TO suggest that the
Dali desired privacy.
Five more members of the Dali
including the first woman to be
heard, Mrs. Kate O'CallaghAn,
widow of the assassinated last
mayor of Limerick, presented
their views on the treaty. Two of
them Spoke in favor of the pact
and three against it.
