HopeIessly Divided
Dublin, Jan. 6.-Reported circulated
regarding the proceedings of this
mornings private session of the Dali

hopelessly divided. 1t was learned

he and his followers walked out OF
the Dali before the vote on the treaty
was taken.
At the opening of the afternoon
session of the Dali Mr. de Valera said
that since the Irish agreement was
signed in London the executive au
thority of the Dali had been irreyo-
cably split. They had since tried to
keep together nomina.ly as unified
executive but the time had come for
that to be ended.
The president said he and one see
ton of the cahire. stood for the pre-
servation cf the republic and the
other section for quite another pan.
There will never be peace Mr.. de
Valera declared until the people un-
derstand that the Irish people want
to live their own lives without imposi-
ton of outside authority.
Mr. de Valera said he could not ac-
cept the responsibility unless he had
the sole powers Of the government to
carry on his office.
Michael Collins. the minister Of f.
nance and leader in support of the
treaty, announced that he (COllinsl
