the cabinet also had re-
signed.
De Valera opened the afternoons
session Of the Dali Eirrean by stating
that the split over the treaty was fun
damental and irrevocabe.
Reports circulated regarding the
proceedings of this mornings private
session of the Dali indicated that the
members were hopelessly divided. 1t
was learned that President De Valera
has threatened to resign and such
was the temper of the opponents of
the treaty that members on the op-
posite side said they would not be
surprised if he and his followers walk
ed out of the Dali before the vote on
the treaty was taken.
De Valera opened the afternoon ses-
sion of the Dali by stating that the
split over the treaty was fundamental
and irrevocable.
Before the afternoon session opened
Liam Roisite of Cork said the situa-
ton was extremely critical and he
feared severe strife might ensue from
the division of the country on the
treaty.

self for reelection on the principles
Of 1916. He said lie must have a
cabinet which thought with him and
he would demand all resources be Civ
zen him to defend the republic.
The question was raised by CORE
spondents as TO whether de Valera
by rendering his resignation, actually
| had yielded his Office as president.

Iopmion or that point Later it was

resignation on consideration vote

of tte Dali Eirreann TO bring about
an agreement on the Anglo-lrish treaty
failed today and the Dali which had
met in private session this morning
adjourned it's secret sitting at 1:10 p.

| Reports regarding the proceedings
Of this mornings private session in
dicated that the members were hope
lessly divided.
The outcome of the Commuters
work last night was a closely guarded
secret, but the best opinion was that
it's report to the Dali would not be
unfavorable Whether its recommen-
dations would prove acceptable to the
leaders of the opposing factions was
another matter 1t is taken for grant
ed that acceptance of the treaty IS
the sine qua non of Arthur Griffith,
