~ AoHNiAAAEW AFons
DUBLIN. Feb. 22-With dramatic
suddenness a peace agreement,
reached at the eleventh hour be
tween Free State and republican
leaders. was sprung on the Ard
Fheis or national Sim Tein conven-
ton Wednesday, and the gathering
Of delegates adjourned for three
months. The general feeling was
that in preserving intact the party
organization, something like a mir
acle had been worked
The net result OF the two days
meeting Of the Ard Fheis is 20 in
sure that no election can be held in
Ireland for the next three months
and when II is held the issue will
not simply be for or against the
treaty but TO determine the judg-
ment Of the Irish people on the
actual terms Of a constitution in
which the treaty will be embodied.
Both sides Pleased.
The point on which the repub-
liCans particularly demanded assur-
ance' was what the agreement meant
by the free state constitution to be
submitted 20 the electorate. Was It
merely the constitution as drafted
by the provisional government on its
own Interpretation Of the treaty, or
was il TO be final constitution
which the British government would
not alter. Mr.. De Valeras estimate
OF the effect Of the agreement took
the latter view. However, the result
was regarded by leaders as showing
there could be no doubt that the
rank and file OF both sides were
overjoyed that a division had been
avoided.
The British governments hurry
TO pass an act of parliament sup
porting the provisional government
and to provide It with an elected
parliament which would replace the
Dali Eireann and dis-establish the
Irish republic has been rendered
futile. II was argued. by those fav-
oring the agreement. The POSSIBLE
ity that elections could be held by
British authority has now been
negatived by both sides. it was ar
gued.
No Appeal to Electorate.
BY the terms Of Wednesdays
agreement, Arthur Griffith is strong
" committed like Mr.. De Valera.
not TO appeal TO the electorate. ex-
cept with sanction OF the Dali
Eireann and the majority favoring
the provisional government within
the Dali IS admittedly so small and
so precarious that no resolutions
promoting elections to which the De
Valera faction would be strongly OPP
posed could be carried.
