the attention Of conference circles

OF IRISH
TREATY CONFIDENT
OF.RATIFICATION
Mary McSwiney Sends a
Letter Protesting Accept
ance of the Pact.

DUBLIN, Dec. Is. AS the Dali
Eireann met today for the continua-
tion of its secret session it was de-
clared by supporters of Michael Col
Inns and Arthur Griffith that they
and the other signers of the Irish
peace agreement now felt certain OF
ultimate majority in favor of the
treaty.
They declared no prominent person
in sany part of Ireland had yet pro-
tested against their action in signing
an agreement with the British cabinet.
President de Valera's objections were
stated to be to certain details Of the
treaty which he thinks would have
been improved If it had been resub-
mitted to him and the Daily cabinet
before it was signed.
Carson's Speech Helpful
The general impression in Dublin
today was that Lord Carsons speech
in the house of lords last night had
helped Collins and Griffith in their
fight in the Dali for the treatys rati-
f.cation.
Today's session was held in private
because, despite the exhaustive debate
Of yesterday, a decision had not been
reached on the preliminary points re-
gardng the authority of the Irish
plenipotentiaries who signed the treaty,
and their methods Of exercising their
authority
1t was found necessary however to
appoint committee to examine all
the correspondence relating to the
London mission.
The collateral controversy is regard.
cd with impotence by the press and
the public, and expressions are heard
on every side, urging decision on
the real issue-acceptance or rejection
Of the agreement.
Todays newspapers publish q letter
from Mary MacSwiney, sister Of the
late Lord Mayor MacSwiney of Cork
protesting in strong terms against the
treaty.
