irish PEACE TREATY
cHGgAo oReer CONFIRMATION
40 CHAMBERLAIN AeaAlLe

"pie Hands" eve Up Fight


Lohdon.-Ratific Of the Irish
peace treaty was given by both houses
Of the British Parliament by over
whelmlng majorities. The dissldent
minority in the House Of Lords was
Il and that In the House o. Commons
was IS.
In the upper house the vote was les
to At in the lower chamber 1t was 4Ol
to So.
Parliament would have been immedi-
ately prorogued but for the fact that
the government desired to keep it In
being until the decision by the Dali
Eireann Is known. The preparations
made BY the cabinet ministers to keep
the House sitting for an exhaustive
debate proved useless as the votes In
both houses were taken early.
The speech made in the House Of
Commons by Andrew Bonar Law. the
Unionist leader, In which he declared
himself in favor Of the agreement,
seemingly had taken the life out of the
die-hard" opposition. and the result In
the lower chamber was foregone con.
ciusion. The only doubt that appeared
to remain at the CONNIE ncement Of the
session was a. to what would BE- the
size Of the opposing minority.
The House Of Lords, had been tradi-
aonally most bitter against any refer.
ence to Ireland and Its attitude, there
fore. had presented elements Of anx-
iety. although the belief had predOmi-
mated that In the face Of the approval
Of the treaty by the King. the cabinet
ministers. the country and the empire.
even the Lords could hardly reject the
treaty.
Austen Chamberlain. the government
leader In the House Of Commons, In his
summing up. defended the action OF the
government In concluding the agree
ment with Ireland and his own attitude
In supporting It.
Dealing with Clster's criticism that
after Ulster had gained her complete
freedom under the act Of 1920 the i'm
perial government in the treaty mad
put Ulster into q united Ireland. but
allowing her the privilege Of contract
ing out Of 1t. Chamberlain said:
