ULSTER OPPOSED
 MORE THAN EVER
Dissatisfaction In Southern Ireland Makes Northerners More De-
 tcrmlncd Than Ever.

London, Jan, 2. 0iy Associated ess)-l'lster's determination not to enter the Irish free state has been strengthened says the Belfast corres- pondent of the Daily Mail by the example of "rhe southern mentality and southern methods" given in the Dali Eireann during it's discussion of the peace treaty. ....
 Ulster fears considerable damage to the business of northern Ireland from tariffs to be established by the new government and foresees great hin- drance to trade from the location of customs houses on her borders, These evils however would be small in com parison with the wholesale disaster which it is believed in Ulster would follow her incorporation into a state dominated by the Dali leaders and faced at the outset with the possi- bility of having to quell republican rising.
 Ulster is resolved to oppose to the utmost in the British parliament the threatened revision of her boundaries under the treaty just ratified. The Sim F'ein is represented in Ulster as not concealing it's intention to get control of the greater part of the counties of Fermangh and Tyrone, as well as the city of Londonderry and part of Downshire. It is con- tended that, if this came about, the remainder of Ulster would be too small to bear the expense of scpar- ate government.

PLAY AMERICAN SCHOOL
Local Trade School Five Will Stack Themselves Against Hartford Deaf Team Tomorrow Evening.

The New Britain State Trade school basketball team will play the Ameri- can school for Deaf at Hartford Tues day evening.
 The "black and orange" lineup will probably show Patrus in left forward with either Captain Swanson or Fres- en in right forward. Hugo Anderson will probably hold the center position Evald Anderson seems to have earned his place in right guard. For left guard, there is considerable doubt as to the best man. Witham has been playing the position, but several oth- CTS, notably Miller and kemenlcky, have had their turns at the guard po- sition. kuikowski and Graesser have both been developing rapidly and while the chances are slight that they will appear in the line up, either may find himself a regular place in the near future.

 BelGium's delegates to the supreme council arc still standing out for her priority in full of 2,500, 0,00O,ooO gold marks Of the German payments. The proposed increase in Germany's cash payments for 1922 from the bo0,o00,- 900 gold marks agreed on in London to 7oo,ooo,ooo so as to provide q cer- tain amount of cash above the eX- penses of the armies of occupation which absorb 50O,000,000 gold marks only partially satisfies the BeIgians They fear that abandonment of the principal of full priority might work to their detriment later.
 The golfing party this morning fur nishes the occasion for Mr. Lloyd George and M. Briand to continue their conversations begun yesterday concerning a Franco British alliance for mutual defense. A mem orandum setting forth reasons as basis for such a pact is known to have been taken up.
 In French circles here it is expected that, when the German commission which has been invited to Cannes tc appear before the supreme council re- garding reparations arrives, the repa- rations commission also will come here. Premier Briand wishes tc avoid the appearance of taking out of the hands of the separations commis- sion any part of the questions touch ing on the German war indemnity He contends that the commission is the proper channel for the allies tc use in dealing with the Germans or that question.

BOULEVARD MAY
 HAVE NEW NAME
Proposed BelVidere Highway May
 Be Called Eddy,GlOVel

The proposed Boulevard at Belyi- derc will be named for the Eddy Glover post if plans now being con- sidered are carried out,
 This Boulevard, commencing at Stanley street, opposite the Stanley school, extends to Pennington avenue It will embrace Carlton street, Sachema. Oneida and TuXnis streets, It is 90 feet wide. The land has been deeded to the city by A, Gorbach and was accepted by the common council in April 1919. IL was impossible to start operations on the plans at that time, but the budget the following year called for an appropriation to carry on the work of grading. II was later found that the cost of this would amount to nearly $30,o0o and 1t was deemed necessary to strike it out of the budget.
 If conditions do not pick up at the factories this summer, 1t is probable that work will be started on d small scale on the Boulevard in order to keep men employed
 The main idea of the proposed lbOuleNaTu IS to ulNeIt tidili'' iNH years ago committee, consisting Of Frank Fl. Afford, Charles Caldwell and MT. Gorbach, was appointed to go over the grounds at BelVidere and find a suitable place for diverting traffic and the best way of reaching the outskirts of the city towards Hartford without passing through Hartford avenue which is generally considered men, ace to automobiists. The committee advised the city to accept the Boule- ward as planned. The board of pub lie works and the chairman of the park board, with interested property owners, favored this plan.

DE VALERA NOT
 YET REELECTED
(continued from First Page)


 challenged the supporters of the treaty to an election after the treaty was put into operation.
 F, ], Hogan said the people had a right to decide Immediately and he asked for n speedy election,
 William Sears contended that the Dal had ratified the treaty and that the world would so accept it,
 Keep Resources Intact
 John MacIntee of Monaghan, ar gued that England had not yet given Ireland the constitution for the free state, and that until the terms of the treaty were carried out, the repubH- can goyernmen must be continued.
 He urged keeping the resources of Ireland intact so they could fight If England lets LIS down."
 John Mckeown and Michael Col lins both jumped up at this shouting;
 We will!"
 No Joint Cabinet ! MT De Valera said that if he were reelected. no effort of his would be |
 "I don't want the office at all" he declared, Then, looking at Griffith and Collins, he added:
 You have majority with your 64 votes. Elect your own president"
 A spirited tilt followed between Cosgrave. strong advocate for the treaty and MT. De Valera. Cosgrave, who is minister of local government. said the essence of the position of the treaty's opponents was that they did not want to see the treaty carried out. He submitted that the suggestion for the reelection of the president was unconstitutional and the resolution calling for it out of order, the only motion in order be- | ing the Collins motion for q joint committee.
 Govt. Must Continue
 The government of the country, de- Cared CosgraNe, must continue and nothing should be done to upset the existing status of the Dali and thereby endanger the working out of the treaty. There could not be an order ed government, he asserted if the government were gwen into the con- trol of minority Richard Mulca hy. chief of staff of the republican army said the Dali had carried on at first without a president of the republic | and if necessary could do SO again. | He opposed President De Nalera's re- election on the ground that he and his associates were unable to cooper ate in the work of carrying out the treaty.
 John Milroy said that Mir. De Val era and his associates having been defeated, the only constitutional step to take was for the defeated party to surrender authority to the majority side.
 Mir. De Valera nodded his head and said, Hear, hear" when Milroy quot ed MT. De Valera as having declared he would accept the vote on the treaty as defining the will of the Dali on the issue.
 Every deputy who voted for the treaty, Milroy asserted, was absolutely obligated to help carry it out. Countess MarkieWicz declared it was shameful that President De Val era in resigning, should be accused nf political trickery
