STRAIN OF DELAY

Chances Of Final Ratification
Improved by Days
Events

Dublin. Dec co-(By The Associated
Press)-After today's session of the
Dali Eireann. 1t was clear that de-
cision on the treaty would not be taken
before Thursday afternoon at the
earliest; some members. among them
Michael Collins. were even of the opin-
ion that adjournment over the holidays
may be necessary.
Arthur Griffith, head OF the pleni-
potentiaries and Eamonn De Valera
arc agreed. however that suspense
would he bad for the country. As a.
matter OF fact. judging by the attitude
In Dublin, tho whole country is fairly
sick with uncertainty and anxiety.
1t was made evident today that the
Dali Eircann will tolerate no form OF
cloture. Twenty additional members
the speaker announced. have sent In
their names TO bc heard. Observers
were of the opinion that the prospects
Of ratification have improved
Ono speaker sharply criticised the at
-tituslc of some of tho members yuK
Eestinr that tho they would vot,
against the treaty they really hoped II
would he approved. Thip, tended to- con
hvm reports that several deputies, tho
unwilling to expose the rouutry tn the
consequences Of rejection. wish &c
maintain their personal position as
true Republicans.
The main force Of the attack on them
wa, based on the argument that even
Dc Vaicr. has abandoned the idea OF
a republic and framed an oath rccog-
mixing the King as head OF tho COM
munity OF nations with which Ireland
IL to he associated
The mos, exciting speech today was
that Of Or. Patrick McCartan. who
condemned everybody impartially and
declared einphatically that the republic
had hcen abandoned In Dublin before
the delegates crossed to London. lie
evoked applause by expressing prefer
errc for Griffith aud Collins who he
said did their hest over tho "auib-
hiers" among whom he included DC
Valera.
pr. McCnr,an denounced the whole
pail cabinet saying. they all won, into
tho boat OF British Imperialism. Hc
WAS an uncompromisinG Republican,
recognizing kings sS out Of date. and
