BY HENRY w. BUM.

TINE following is brief sum-
mary Of the most important
news Of the world for the
seven days ended December II:
ireland: On Wednesday parliament
met in special session to ratify or re-
ject the Irish agreement, and on the
same day the dali eireann assembled
for the same purpose. On Friday
parliament ratified by tremendous
majority of both houses. Certain die
hards, to be sure. notably Lord Car
son, attacked the agreement In Ian
guage of extreme violence. On the
other hand, Bonar Law, one Of the
most redoubtable of the champions of
Ulster. accepted it, though voicing
rectify the frontiers between northern
and southern Ireland. Lloyd Georges
speech to the commons in explanation
and defense of the agreement was
worthy of the occasion and himself.
De Valera opened the proceedings
of the dali eireann with the accusa-
ton that the Irish plenipotentiaries
had failed to carry out their instruc-
tions in that they signed the agree
ment without prior reference of the
completed text thereof to Dublin and
waiting for Dublin's reply thereon.
Having thus charged, De Valera ad
vised that the agreement be discussed
on it's merits. 1t was decided to dis
cuss the merits of the treaty in open
session. and the question whether the
plenipotentiaries had failed to exc
cute their orders, in private session.
Being Irishmen. the representatives
at once closed the doors. and no one
inY arl yuh will
cease their logomachy over a nice
academic point and get down to the
real business of the merits of the
agreement. 1t seems probable that.
however the dali may vote, there will
be referendum to the people, though
it is recognized that there is very
great danger in delay. The truce Is In
peril from extremists.
Should the agreement be ratified,
Ulster would, under it's terms, be au
tomatically included in the Irish. Free
State. and to free her of that connec-
ton an address must be presented to
the crown by both houses of the
northern parliament dissenting from
the agreement. 1t cannot be doubt
ed that such an address would speedi-
ly follow ratification: Bitterness is
growing in Ulster over the clause of
the agreement providing for the au-
tomato inclusion above mentioned
and over the boundary commission
clause, concerning which Ulster was
not consulted. Sir James Craig. Ul-
ster premier. in a very bitter letter to
Lloyd George. charged the latter with
bad faith in respect of these clauses.
Lloyd George was pledged. says Sir
James, to consult Ulster before sub
scribing them. 1t cannot be denied
that tits an awkward charge to an
swer. 1t is true. OF course. that the
court Of world sentiment, judging
Lloyd Georges conduct on large
grounds, will acquit him of bad faith.
But If listers unexampled passion of
loyalty to the crown Is to be trans
ferred into ranking bitterness satis
