DE VALERA
Is RAPED
BY PAPERS
Personal Element In
jected Into Treaty
Discussion, Claim of
Irish Press

Dublin, Jan. Icy Associated
Press. Acute suspense and an
xiety over the chances for peace
prevailed In Ireland today as the
result OF Eamon DeValera's un-
expected action yesterday in re-
signing as president OF the Irish
republic.
Few among the Irish people are
willing to doubt the sincerity OF
his action, but the general regard
for him does not prevent many ex-
pressions Of regret at his course.
In the view Of supporters of the
peace treaty. his action has seri-
ously imperilled the chances for
neaee. II was the opinion OF sew
eral members of the Dali that q
vote on the treaty would be taken
before z o'clock tonight.
People Want Peace.
That acceptance OF the treaty la
considered paramount, despite the
general respect for Mr.. Devalera,
is shown by the comments in the
morning papers, which appealed to
the people over the presidents
head.
THE people are not to be mis-
led" said the Freeman's Journal.
They have read the treaty; they
have read documents two and
three. They are simply shocked
that It should be proposed to
plunge them into turmoil for diff
ferences between .se proposals and
the treaty, and sooner or later thet
people will decide
The Irish Independent says:
"Mr. DeValera said very prop
erly that he could not allow per-
spnal consideration OF any sort to
have anything to do with the stu
ation, and then dramatically an
nounced his resignation. II is true
hat he said he had decided to take
that step because OF fundamental
differences in the cabinet and lat
sr withdrew his resignation on the
that a vote on Ar
fhur Griffith's motion for approval

lay.
Personal Issue Raised.
