Local Attorney
 Expresses View On Irish Peace

Asked today by The Times to point out the legal effect of the Irish peace settlement, John J. Cullinan. of the the leading law firms of the state, said:
 There are some significant points in the text of the pact signed by the representatives of the British and read it do not seem to appreciate. An editorial writer on the Springfield Re- publican yesterday morning fell into the error of assuming that Ulster will be free to vote itself out of the Irish Free State. That isn't so. They can merely vote to retain the powers of local self-government granted under the act of 1920 creating the Northern Parliament All other powers the the same as in the rest of Ireland.
 'fThe position of the present lead CTS of the Irish people has been that sovereignty of Ireland rests in the Irish people and that while the mill itary power of England has succeeded in the past in coercing the Irish peo- ple into submission, the Irish people have never relinquished their sov- ereignty: The pact just signed is a only of the freedom of Ireland, but of the entity of Ireland, a recognition that sovereignty over Ireland rests In the people of Ireland, subject only to ceTtaHl specIl1C uIiiltdt1ohS aSi eeo eo by treaty between Great Britain and the Irish Free State.
 ''The three most important limita- tions are: CD The reservation to Northern Ireland of the rights of local government granted the Northern Ireland Parliament; CD the agree I1ent on the part of the Irish Free State to limit it's military forces pro- poTtiona5ely to those of Great Bri- tain, and (3) the grant by the Irish Free State to the Imperial govern ment of certain rights and privileges in Irish waters.

DEMENT'S AT CONFERENCE
 YESTERDAY

It appeared today that a Chi nese crisis is rapidly developing which may v3tally affect the whole conference.
 In addiion to the resignation of four chief advisers from the Chinese delegation it was report ed that Dr. Wong, chief justice of China, also has resigned from the delegation.
 The Chinese ''peoplese dele gates issued a statement savage 1y attacking Japan's policy in Shantung and asserted only the ince will satisfy the Chinese na- ton.
 Dr. Sun Yat Sen, President of South China, at cost in cable tolls of S3,000 cabled @ complete Chinese conference program which he stated is the minimum of China's requirements.
 American officials remain silent concerning rumors and reports of an entente being formed with Great Britain, Japan and France.
 A British spokesman hinted that Japan's acceptance of the naval ratio Is contingent upon an Understanding" being reached regarding Pacific Qualifications.
 Powers pledge themselves to ture.
 American officials remain si- lent in the face of increasing re- ports here and abroad that an "entente'' has been arranged be- tween the United States, Britain, Japan and possibly France and Ttalv

sn Article XIV of the treaty by Great Britain of all other rights over North ern Ireland, just as over the rest of Ireland. Article XIV expressly states: The Parliament of the government of the Irish Free State shall in Northern Ireland have in relation to matters. in respect of which the Parliament of Northern Ireland has not the power to make lave under the act the same powers as in the rest of Ire land Ulster is a part of the Irish Free State except that it has certain local rights that have already been granted that the Irish Free State by treaty with England agrees that she can retain, and any powers and rights not contained in the act under which Ulster is enjoying local self-govern- ment must be granted by the Irish Free State. Article XIV specifically makes Ulster part of the Irish Free State.
 Reducing the pact to American | terms, the peace negotiations may be compared to the Constitutional Con- vention which preceded the adoption of our Federal Constitution. The l pact signed may be compared rough | ly in effect to our Federal COnstitu- | tion under which the Federal govern ment is granted only the powers con- i tained within the four corners of the 1 instrument The Irish Free State IS | n the same position as one of our | states in that sovereignty with the | sole exception of the express pOwe s l ti, l remains in the Irish Free State. There | is this important difference. however. that the powers granted by the Irish | Free State to the confederation Of nations known as the British Elm pTe' are not by any means the same as those granted by our states to our Federal government. Congress has 1 control over the citizens of the state | of Connecticut in many ways. Con-
 gress can levy an income tax on Con- i nectcut citizens, for instance The
 British government under this treaty
 any such control over the people of
 Ireland. The participation of the | Irish people in war would be subject
 to vote of the Parliament of the Irish
 Free State. In the United States the
 Federal government can conscript the
 citizens of every state, but under the
 treaty the British Empire relilquishes es
 any claim to the right to conscript
 the men of Ireland. The sovereignty
 of the Irish Free State, therefore, is
 very much greater, f that term may
 properly be used, than the sovereign
 " of any one of our indiv5 dual states
 Ut is to be noted that the oath nt 1 allegiance quoted is primarily to the
 Irish Free State as the sovereign, and
 aecondarIy to King George Y and his
 successors, not as kings of Elngla nd
 but as a sort of super-s0Vereign of 2
 confederation of nations n which un-
 der the treaty Ireland becomes ar
 equal partner having an equal voice with the other nations forming the
 group of nations known as the Brit
 iSh Empire"

 out by MT. Roland as indicating his
 attitude towards the Irish peace set
 clement and the support given by the
 American public:
 America has contributed in a large
 measure to the present happy condi-
 tion by generous financial support given witho out stint; by many express ssi ons of sympathy and support com ing from Congress and State legisla- lures, and by the organized opinion of liberty-loving Americans. This great moral force was of incalcuabl ble benefit to the people of Ireland in their struggle. The support thus given was offered freely, and we feel sure that the agreement reached be- 1 tween Britain and Ireland will be re- ceived in America with much joy"
