Dublin, May 90.
Amid the cheering of 1000 delegates
to the Ard Fheis-the Sein Fein or
ganization representing the whole oi
Ireland-Michael Collins. head of the
Provisional Government, fatty de-
clared that his agreement with Eamon
de Valera for an election and a coali-
ton Cabinet meant more to the coun-
try than the treaty and if it inn
periled the treaty, it nevertheless lef,
the country able to face the conse-
quences. Arthur Griffith. President OF
the Dali, and De Valera joined the ap-
plause which greeted this declaration.
The agreement was approved by the
Ard Fheis without discussion. it hav-
ing been agreed to avoid a debate.
I'VE have made an agreement that
will bring peace" Collins declared. "If,
as has been said, this agreement i'm
perils the treaty. we have to face that
situation in this manner-that we
have made an agreement which will
bring stable conditions to the coun-
try. and if there are stable conditions
are they not more valuable than any
other agreement? Here he was in
terrupted by cheers of APPROVAL Well
then we must face what these stable
conditions enable us to face"
He waited until the applause had
subsided and then continued. "That
much is quite clear. This much also
is clear That stable conditions in
Ireland can under no conceivable cir
cumstances be an injury to anybody"
Answer to Churchill.
This on the eve of Grif1th's departure
Tor London to discuss the situation is
taken as Coliins's answer TO Winston
Churchill's statement in the House of
Commons yesterday that "the agree
ment would appear to raise very seri
Gus issue affecting not only ne char
acter and validity of the election con-
terplated in the Irish Free State agree
ment act but also affecting the treaty
itself"
Collins's declaration occurred in the
course of his speech seconding De Valera s
motion that the Ard Fheis approve the
agreement reached between the factions
In the Dali Eireann Saturday which
later was adopted. Collins also dis
cussed the Ulster situation briefly ana
sharply. He assured the delegates that
the pact would be great factor in pre-
venting a war OF determination against
the coreligionists in northeast Ireland
TN the northeast certain section is
making last desperate stand to main
tain their ascendancy." Collins said.
"They are making the stark for rrzitlon
that was outlined by their spokesman.
Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson. If
they are confronted. believe me. by A
united Ireland. by n united voice from
all Ireland that thinks as we do, they
cannot ignore that voice. We must
unite to face the situation in the north
east and also unite TO face any situation
that comes UP from outside. from any
other nation
De Valera opened the meeting with a
short speech. simply proposing that the
organization approve the Dali agreement
and interpreting 1t not as a triumph for
either party but as a triumph for the
whole nation.
