The British representative In arguing
the validity of Hollands choice OF Q
labor representative at the last interna-

occasion to ask the court whether the
permission given to States who are not
members of the League OF Nations TO

confined merely to those cases where the
court was asked to give an advisory
opinion.
President Loder confirmed this inter-

Whether the new Parliament will

Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith
interpret the overwhelming pro-treaty
vote in the recent election as a man
date to continue the fulillwent of the
treaty and to establish law and order
throughout the country. Both leaders
are expected to be IN Dublin to-mor-
row, when the formulation of q pro-
gram for the new Parliament viii
begin.
The new Parliament faces four
tasks-the adoption of the constitu-
ton. the passage of the adult suffrage
act in compliance with the Collins-De
Valera pact. the establishment of law
and order thereby checking the pres
ent countrywide drift toward anarchy
and the commencement Of emergency
public works to relieve unemployment.
The order of preference depends
largely to what extent the pro-treaty
leaders are willing to accommodate
themselves to De Valera's desires.
After such an overwhelming indi-
cation that the country is sick of poll
ticians who are willing to obstruct
legislation in order to hinder the
operation of the treaty, Collins and
Griffith are not disposed to yield
much. some of their close associates
told THE New York HERALD corre-
spondent to-day. The leaders believe
that their policy of tolerance has now
been vindicated because they avoided
making martyrs of the men who OBJ
strusted the Government, thus letting
them hang themselves in public esti-
nation.
