tBy Associated PreSsl
LONDON, May 3l.-British
troops will prevent the estab-
hshment of a republic in Ire
land if such action Should become
necessary, Colonial Secretary
Churchill declared in the house
of commons today. "In the
event a republic is set up it is
the intention of the British gov
ernment to hold Dublin as one of
the preliminary and essential
steps of military operation" he
said.
Secretary Churchill asserted in
the house of commons that the
agreement reached between the
political factions in Ireland re-
Gently, strikes directly at the
PROVISIONS of the Anglo-Irish
treaty.
Later on in the debate in which
the Ulster group assailed the gov.
ernment's policy, Churchill
frankly admitted that British
troops are being held in Dub
lin as a preliminary step to mill
tary operations if these become
necessary.
The secretary said it must be
admitted that disturbances in Ul-
ster for many months had un-
doubtedly played part in max
ing the position of the provis-
ional government in Ireland diff
ficult by an exasperating Catho-
lie majority in southern Ireland,
and the increasing number of De
Valera's supporters. "Mr' De
Valera has been fully aware of
this and one of his surest means
of striking against the provis-
ional government and treaty has
been the exciting of outrages in
the northern area and so provok'
ing cOunteraction which would
he sure to raise the passions in
the SOUTH, " said Churchill.

That the Board has delegated too
much authority in matters of eXpen-

drawn on the Compania for Accounts
directly chargeabIe to the Compania
receive no action from the Board Of

Il is shown by a recent audit and
contained in the General Report
thereof that apparently no provision
fer depreciation has been made and in
cases where the asset has ceased to
exist. no credit has been made to the
account representing the value Of the
same. The procedure of charging
maintenance and repairs to Capital ac-
counts has been going on for some
time. consequently these accounts
would appear to be unduly inflated
