RATIFICATION IS

This Is Opinion A Expressed By Majority of British

London, bee, go U}y Associated l lressl The majority of English | newspaper correspondents in Ireland see in the growing volume of senti- ment for the peace treaty an indica- ton that ratification will go through easily soon after the pail Eircamn re- convencs next Tuesday, some pre- diet that q vote will be taken as early us Thursday January 5,
 The constant increase in the mum bor of expressions by public bodies m favor of the pact is emphasized by the correspondents. The Times stan man in Dublin declares 1t almost certain that every meeting called to discuss the treaty during the Dail's recess will vote in its favor, and says no instance has been reported of any intention anywhere to hold meeting hostile to it.
 A few of the writers refer to yes terday's report that a compromise in- suring ratification Of the treaty has been reached at q secret meeting of the leaders of both factions in the Dali Eircann but none is able to con firm that such meeting was held.
 The Morning Posts Belfast cores pondent tclegraphed that the opinion in Ulster is that the Dali meeting will not be finished by the end of next week and adds:
 With some knowledge of what is happening, l venture the prediction that Irish delegates may be seen again in London before long"
 While southern Ireland is record ing it's approval of the treaty the I'l- stermcn according to Belfast dis patches to the Daily Telegraph arc passing resolutions refusing to agree to the boundary commission provided for in the pact. Numerous meetings have been held at which expressions of anger against the British statesmen were made as freely as those of dis trust of the Sim I'ein.
