DE VALERA RIGHT
(Continued from Page Onel

iceland. which was constituted under
the home rule act of 1920. but which
actually never met. and which. except
for the purpose of ratifying the treaty
probably never will meet. It's MEM
bership is nearly. but not quite, the
same as that of the Dahl.
The Dali includes some members
from Northern Ireland and excludes
four elected to the southern pariia-
ment from Trinity College. The idea
is that after the Dahl approves OF the
treaty, which it is expected to DO
byr comparatively small majority,
the ratifying body named in the trea-
ty shall be summoned. The Dali
members who are dissatisfied with the
treaty need not attend this gathering,
il is pointed out. and thus their coll
leagues, plus the Trinity members,
might ratify the document unanimous
". The Dali would still function as
Ireland's only recognized elected par
liamentary assembly.
A provisional government, would
be formed under the treaty and the
Dali Eireann could act as check on
it's functions. 1t will take many
months forthe new Irish constitution
to be put into working order. In the
meantime it is hoped the differences
between the Sim Fein leaders might
be accommodated. There is. however
a possibility that Mr.. De Valera, Aus
tin Stack, Charles Burgess ard Frs
kline Childers may, as De Valera has
said. regard the new provisional gov
eminent as an usurpation and cam
raign against 1t.
Some of Mr.. De valera's most in
fluential friends outside the Dali have
seen him and urged the desirability
of accepting the treaty. They are
said to have come away convinced
that on the ground of principle he is
entirely uncompromising and will night
the matter out, whatever the conse'
chences.
1.-THE country's opinion on acceptance
Of the treaty is not in doubt. Even
the members of the Dali Eireann op-
posing the treaty admit they could
not carry more than very small pro
portion of their constituents with
them. At the last elections the Sim
Feiners secured undisputed control OF
all the great municipal and county
governing bodies over most of Ireland
| These bodies are now being asked to
influence their representatives in IA
vor of the treaty. and county after
county Is passing resolutions urging
their members in the Dali to vote APP
proval.
Thus far there has been no in
stance Of any public body adopting
resolutions against acceptance. al
though at most of the meetings there
has been a minority holding that view
A remarkable feature of the rcsolu-
lions favoring the treaty is the gen
eral lack of enthusiasm for its terms
1t is accepted mostly with an accom-
| paniment of criticisms regarding its
DEFICIENCIES, butthe view that such as
it is should be accepted is virtually
universal.
