Secret Session.
(By The Associated Press }


Dublin, Dec. 1.-THE Dahl Eireann
met in public session today for consid-
GRAFTON of the Anglo-Irish agreement
but after the formal opening and a
brief discussion of the credentials of
the plenipotentiaries at the London
conference, went into secret session
with the announcement that the pub
lie sitting would be resumed tomor-
row.
Explains Circumstances.
President de Valera. who opened
the, proceedings, explained at some
length tho circumstances under which
the, ,plenipotentiaries CT the Dahl. who
met the British representatives in
negotiations at London had been ap-
pointed. On October Z, he said. the
plenipotentiaries had received in
structions, the most important Of
which was that tho complete text Of
the treaty should be. submitted to
Dublin and a reply awaited. That
he said had not been done. 1t was
always understood also. he declared,
that ratification by the Dali was es-
sential
He invited question with regard
to the conduct of the negotiations. He
said the question must be considered
on It's merits and should not be influ-
enced by the>mere accident of differ
ence of opinion in the cabinet or any
other cxtraneous matters.
Reviewing the circumstances lead
ing up to the appointment of the plen-
ipotentiarics, Mr.. de Valera said he
had made it clear at the meeting, of
should have full plenary powers, but
that whatever arrangement was
reached would be submitted to the
Dahl for ratification. Tho cabinet, he
declared, would not have sent any
five men to negotiate q treaty which
would bind the nation without some
larger body presenting the nation
having an opportunity of cri.icizing
and reviewing It. *
Should Go to Cabinet -
Mr.. de Valera said his idea was
that when the plenipotcntiaries had
arrived at an agreement In principle
and had a. rough copy of tho docu-
ment they were prepared to sign, they
should have sent 1t to the cabinet He
could only say that when he did see
the final text he could not see his way
to sign or recommend its This was
case of difference of opinion be-
| tween two bodies which would natur-
ally arise and he was anxious that
the difference OF opinion should not
interfere with the discussion Of the
treaty. $s.i
