Valera Cabinet VIII Prob
ably Follow Him If He Re-
signs, This May Result n a
New Republican Ticket in
Ireland.

London, Dec 10.-DispatCle to
the morning newspapers generally
confirmed the view that the SPLIT in
the Dali Eireann is not likely to pre-
vent the passage Of the peace treaty
by the southern Irish parliament, al
though views differ as to whether it
will be large or small Hardly any
light is thrown on these reports the
leaders maintaining secrecy
II the Dali Eireann ratifies the
agreement Eamon De Valera the
new die hard" as one Belfast news
paper describes lim--will according
to some versions resign as head of
the Dali government and Arthur Crit
fifth VIII. succeed him. Should this oc-
cur Austin Stack minister of home
affairs and Charles Burgess minister
of defense will follow his example as
they have supported his stand against
the treaty.
In this case Valera and the two
ministers might seek election on the
new Republican ticket and in the
nea Irish Free State follow the pre-
cedeucI of the Republicans in the
Italian parliament absenting them
selves while tin oath of allegiance
is being taken.
