QUESTION OF IRISH FLAG
MAY CAUSE NEAR BATTLE
By CHAS. McCANN.


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent J
Dublin, (by Mail to United Press)
Selection of flag for the New
Ireland is likely to cause a near war.
British treaty signatories have de.
clared that the new Free State may
select its own flag and will not be
bound to follow the Dominion's ex.
ample of using the Union Jack with
distinctive superscription.
1t is taken for granted that the
new Irish government will select the
orange, white and green. tri-colors
Of the Irish Republic. But if they
do, they will have battle with the
De Valera party, who maintain that
the Republican flag is just what it
implies-the flag of republic.
The De Valerians want the Free
State to leave them the flag and se-
lect something else-the old green
flag with its golden harp. or, per-
haps, they hint, the Union Jack.
Neither is likely, certainly, what
ever happens, the new flag will not
be any sort Of Union Jack The
Free State party claim tlat major
ity rules in democracy; that the
majority of the republican govern
ment are for the treaty and there
fore are masters of the situation;
that the people like the republican
flag, and that if they vote for the
Free State, they will themselves
have declared against the republican
party in its claim to represent the |
country.
II their. argument holds good the
republican themselves will have to
design new banner.
