REvILE FREE STATE OATH
Dublin Ballots to Be Counted
To-day-Monaghan Elects
? for Treaty, 1 Against.

DuBLIN. June IS (Associated Press).
The counting of the votes in the
recent election in Dublin begins to-
morrow morning. 1t is thought pos
sibly the results may be announced
by midnight. The Cork figures have
been eagerly scanned here, but have
not seriously modified the expert FORE
Dali Eireann.
The return of Robert Day was
looked for. as he was recognized as
the leader of the extreme Labor Sec
ton and was in command when the
port was seized some months ago and
the adherents of the red flag took
over the shipping authority for two
days. The defeat of the two other
new candidates at Cork is taken to
indicate approximately the solidarity
of the panel vote, an impression con-
firmed by the Monaghan results,
which is the only other constituency
yet announced.
But 1t is evident that whatever de-
lIOtfi lHC Sbi di6AS eiNNSs SNN~--~
has been in favor Of the treaty side.
and the defeat OF Lord Mayor O'Cal-
laghan Is attributed to his refusal to
recognize the Provisional Government.
even in relation to the expenditure or
money for rebuilding Cork.
Pact Violation Is Charged.
Already the accusation Is made from
the Republican side that the supporters
of the treaty have violated the Collins
De Valera pact and Mr.. Collins himself
is attacked not only for his speech at
Cork last Wednesday, which is generally
regarded as an utterance throwing over
the panel and the coalition, but for his
refusal to indorse a Joint daily propa-
ganda in the interest or the panel can
didates. s s~
The Republican : Sunday newspaper.
The Plain People, says: Quite clearly
Collins's pledged word can in the future
be regarded as no more Trustworthy than
his Republican OATH"
The paper denoupces Mr.. Collins for
his forecast of the character and fInc-
tions of the new Dali and asserts that
the first duty of every Deputy before he
votes or speaks is to take the oath Of
allegiance to the Irish republic.
Mr. Collins" 1t adds. may at the
dictation of his British masters have
agreed to abolish that oath, but therein
he was acting ultra wires. He has no
more power to abolish the Dail's oath to
the republic than be has to wipe out the
Washington Congress oath OF allegiance
10 the Republic of the United States"
4 This paper further contends that the
new Dali cannot consider the Free State
constitution. ''It declares that the Re-
public has it's own temporary constitu-
ton and that the Dali will consider no
other until it has a permanent consti-
tuition of the Republic.
Burning stores q "Godsend."
It also condemns conciliation with
Ulster. and answers critics of the policy
of war, who argue that burning bust-
ness premises really is a godsend for
the firms concerned because their busl-
ness is practically at a standstill. and
money compensation will save them. by
saying
these people forget that every such
place destroyed swells the ranks OF the
unemployed and creates chaos in the
enemys camp owing to the long period
before such businesses can be restarted
and the fact that compensation must
be paid either by Belfast itself % the
British Government The British-inspirec
idea Of conciliation by surrender would
not achieve this in a thousand years
Therefore. we say. go on with the burn
ing
All Of this Is out of tune with the
Contemplated joint action of Collins and
De Valera in the coalition Cabinet. but
this paper certainly speaks for De
valera's left wing. and especially fol
the dissident army section, and soms
of the most influential Republican
Deputies in the new Dali are known t
indorse its views.
