thought that Eamonn De Valera was
down and out" were premature. The
champion Of the cause Of the Irish re-
public has regained, by the agreement
reached Wednesday at the Sim Fein
convention, much Of the position in
the organization he lost by the deci-
sions of its executive and the election
him.
De Valera has secured a "afty.
ififty"-division between himself and his
opponents The effect Of the agree
ment reached is not great. It leaves
tho controversy where 1t stood-Grif-
| fifth and Collins stand by their treaty
and De Valera holds to his republic.
Sooner or later the parting must come,

months Is expected to have important
consequences to public order.

rushing the country into a decision on
the treaty before they had time to ex.
plain their views Of its limitations, and
they particularly resented the prepa.
rations for a speedy election. The
friends Of the treaty were eloquent on
the rights Of the people and the in
consistency of advocates Of self-deter-
mination being unwilling to face the
electors. They complained that while
they were getting the English to
evacuate Ireland they were being OBJ
structed by Irishmen. They were not
helped by the freely expressed SYM
pathy Of British statesmen. who kept
protesting their anxiety to help the
provisional government put down the
