a long set speech. He recalled the his
tory of his connection with the move

point when the Cabinet was as COM

possible. The separation was not on
personalities but on absolute funda-
mentals The Cabinet had since De-
cember 6, 1921, been trying TO keep to-
gether nominally as a unified executive.
but the time had come when that must
be ended.
II he were to keep the chief execu-
tive authority in the republic, Mr.. De
Valera added. he would be in duty
bound to preserve the republic and use
all means at his disposal. The Dali

net standing for one policy and the

| His fundamental creed. Mr.. De

Irish people. Anything which detract.

principles and a subversion of nation.

union of these forces was absolutely es

be no question Of asking the Irish peopl,
to enter into any arrangement making
them subject to the Crown or to requir,

Valera said.

We're informed that the sooner the Brit

document brought by the delegates from
London, December 2. was inconsistent
with that position.
Arthur Griffith. he said. declared he
would not break on the point regarding
the Crown. 1t was made clear that tnis
would involve a split in the country.
A promise accordingly was given that a
document involving the making or irish
citizens British subjects would not De
signed until submitted to the Irish Par
lament.
He. was so certain that this promise
would be fulfilled. Mr.. de Valera SAID.
that when he heard an agreement hao
been reached, he said: I'VE have won.
But when he saw In the newspapers
that the agreement reached was one
absolutely inconsistent with Irish tradi-
tion and against the State as II STOOD
he knew that a practically irreyocaoie
step had been taken.
Mr.. de Valera said he had been press
ing in his efforts to achieve peace.
There was the view of an Irish state
as a sovereign independent State ana
the view that Ireland should be a sover-
eign State, absolutely isolated. such as
Switzerland. He attacked that polfticai
problem, and he saw nothing IN tne
proposal he made inconsistent with the
complete independence of Irish nation
ality. He had drafted his proposal
roughly, and it was presented. just as

| asked that it be regarded as q conf-
| Dental document. but that confidence
was broken and he could not try TO
| Garry on unless he had commence IN
| the members of his Cabinet.
Continuing. Mr.. de Valera said that on

with him. II reelected he could have a
new Cabinet, but II the people reelected
him he must have full use OF all the
resources Of the republic to defend the
republic. He then could offer the Brit

peace as set out in his proposal.
The people In Ireland would deny the
right of the British Parliament or the

Government legislation for Ireland. and
would use all the means they could To
prevent Great Britain holding Ireland

they were school children. and he would
not stand for it. He reminded his hear
ers that whensshe had spoken In the
house before the Christmas recess he
said ninety per, cent. of his constituents
favored ratification, and added that
pow he could say that ninety-nine, per
cent, demanded 1t.
Ultimately Griffith seized the right
moment and showed that a decision
could be reached within a few hours
and demanded that the debate proceed
1t was more from exhaustion than any
thing else that De Valera consented.
But there is little doubt that Griffith
saved the treaty from immediate de-
struction by his motion.
DUBLIN, Jan. (Associated Press). -
The Dali adjourned this evening at 7
o'clock to meet again tomorrow for a
further discussion of the treaty. Several
of the members told the Associated Press
tonight that a vote on the treaty IN
doubtedly would be taken before Z
o'clock Saturday evening.
Supporters OF the treaty continued to
express confidence that 1t would be
ratified by small majority. but the
people of Dublin are showing great
anxiety over the outlook With the Dali
so divided fears are entertained thai
acceptance of the treaty will not neces-
sarily solve Ireland's troubles. and fears
were expressed in some quarters to-day
that there is great danger of internecine
strife.
Mr.. de Valera threatened to resign
during a private session OF the Dali
Eireann this morning. ae which an
eleventh hour attempt was being made
hy the Deace comnitf-e IN effecf an
agreement between the opposing fac
tions on the treaty. When the Dali re-
convened in open session in the after

into effect in the course of an eloquen,
speech, during which he was moved to
such depths of emotion that tears stood
in his eyes and his voice occasionally
was choked with sobs

be recalled" The House broke into
laughter. Mr.. Collins declared the mo-
ton was simply political dodge and
he condemned the "Tammany" methods.
Mr. Burgess said that IL Mr.. Collins
meant him as bully his acceptance of
the taunt would be measured by his re-
spect for the character of the man MAX
ing the charge. and that therefore he
would take no notice of it.
Harry Boland said he had come from
the United States to vote against the
treaty and support President de Valera.
He said he thought Mr.. Collins. IL he
had any Tammany Hall training, might
have kept his bullying for Premier Lloyd
George.
Mr.. de Valera In explaining why he
must resign said there must be some
one In authority. A journalist had been
kidnapped and Minister of Finance Col
Inns had sent men to recover him. Mr..
Collins had no right to send anybody.
That was the function of Minister of
Defense Burgess.
II sent these men under orders of my
superior officer" Mr.. Collins replied.
The New York herald., 1922-01-07

OF Mr.. de Valera was received with
manifest irritation by leading support
ers of the peace treaty. who regarded IL
as means OF sidetracking straight
vote on the issue. Arthur Griffith and
Michael Collins both urged the desira-
bility of carrying out the agreement for
direct vote on the treaty. while
Michael Cosgrave pointed out that any
consideration OF Mr.. de Valera's speech
of resignation must be postponed until
the matter In hano was disposed OF. He
carried the Speaker with him IN his
contention that the Presidents resigna-
tion. which might equally as we'll have
been tendered a month ago. was not at
the present time an urgent matter
within the meaning OF the standing
orders of the Dali.
The protests agains diverting the
Dali Eireann from the main point in
dispute before II. namely. the ratification
or rejection Of the treaty, revealed the
leaders on both sides OF the controversy
as equally anxious for a speedy vote,
and eventually Mr.. de Valera declared
that II a ballot was taken within forty
eight hours he would be quite satisfied.
Meanwhile, although he did not say so

resignation would be in allegiance.
Mr.. de Valera was elected President
at the first Sim Fein convention. held
in 1917. Arthur Griffith. chairman of the
Sim Fein organization, standing aside
in his favor. During his absence in the
United States Mr.. de Valera appointed
Mr.. Griffith Acting President.
Mr.. de Valera's disappearance from
the Presidency would remove what he
described In his speech to-day as the
connecting link between the Cathal
Brugha (Charles Burgess) section of
the Sim F'ein and Mr.. Griffith. Both
! men have strong followings throughout
the country. 1t would leave the extreme
section and the section favorable to the
treaty In direct conflict.
Brugha, who is Minister of defense,
and Austin Stack. Minister for Home
Affairs, are the most conspicuous OF
the experienced fighting men on the
side of Mr.. de Valera, but II Is probable
that neither Of them would desire to
accept the Presidency If vacated by De
Valera. 1t Is considered that If both
these men should refuse the leadership
1t possibly might go to Liam Melloews,

Mr.. de Valera in delivering these
words was deeply moved, tears filling
his eyes.
In conclusion Mr. de Valera said IL
there was vote In the House within
forty-eight hours he was quite satisfied.
Arthur Griffith agreed to this declaring
that the vote might be taken at the lat
est on Monday. The motion for sus-
pension of the order of the day was
then withdrawn and the debate resumed
on the main motion.
