CONTENTION THAT DAHL CANNOT
RATiFY TREATY is GENER-
ALLY CONCEDED.
Will ACCEPT TREATY
NO DOUBT THAT TERMS WILL
MEET WITH GENERAL AP.
PRovAL OF IRELAND.
(weisrn Newspaper Uniou Sssi ssries.J

Dublin.-Although no compromise
between the opponents and advocates
Of the Anglo-Irish treaty In the Dali
Elreann has yet been attained, future
plans designed to avoid wrecking the
agreement are being considered.
1t is generally recognized now that
Eamon de Valera was right In stating
that the Dali has no power to ratify
the treaty. The treaty itself prescribes
the mode OF ratification to be by the
members elected to sit In the House of
Commons of southern Ireland. which
was constituted under the home rule
act OF 1920. but which actually never
met and which, except for the purpose
of r9tifying the treaty, probably never
will meet. The membership is nearly,
but not quite, the same as that of the
Dali.
The Dali includes some members
from northern Ireland. and excludes
four elected to the southern parlia
ment from Trinity college.
The indication Is that after the Dali
approves of the treaty, which it is
expected to do by comparatively small
ma jorites, the ratlfying body named
in the treaty shall be summoned The
Dali members who are dissatisfied
with the treaty need not attend this
gathering, 1t is pointed out, and thus
their colleagues. plus the Trinity mem
bers, might ratify the document unani-
mously. The Dali would still function
as 1relands only recognized elected
parliamentary assembly.
A provisional government would be
formed under the treaty, and the Dali
could act as check on its functions
1t will take many months for the new
Irish constitution to be put into work
Ing order; in the meantime. it is hoped
the differences between the Sim Fein
leaders might be accomplished.
Some Of Mr. de Valera's most influ-
entail and valued friends outside the
Dali have seen him and urged the de.
STABILITY Of accepting the treaty. They
are said to have come away convinced
that on the ground Of principle he Is
entirely uncompromlsing and will fight
the matter out, whatever the conse-
quences.
The country's opinion on acceptance
of the treaty Is not in doubt; even
the members of the Dali opposing the
treaty admit they could not carry
more than very small proportion of
their constituents with them. Thus
far there has been no instance Of any
public body adopting resolutions
against acceptance, although at most
or the meetings there has been a mi
nority holding that view.
A remarkable feature of the resolu-
tions favoring the treaty is the gen.
eral lack of enthusiasm for its terms.
1t Is accepted mostly with an accom-
paniment Of criticism regarding its de-
ficiencies, but the view that such as 1t
Is should be accepted Is practically
universal

Chicago.-A large majority Of ply

alcoholic questionnaire, asserted they
did not regard whisky, beer and wine
as necessary therapeutic agents in the
practice of medicine, while nearly two
thirds Of them said they believed there
should be restrictions in prescribing

fourths of the replies asserted there
were no instances in the practice of

European Controversy Decision Will Await Ambassadors Coming Visit to Washington President Urged to Take Stand.

By GEORGE R. HOLMES.
 Washington, Dec. 15-A final
 showdown, in which Amcrica's
 voice is bound to play an impor-
 tant part is imminent in the long
 standing reparationS controversy
 that has kept Europe almost
 constantly embrOiled for four
 years.
 The exact part which the United States will play in the settIemSnt is yet to be determined. It has form ed the chief subject of cabinet dis cussion for several weeks and was uppermost in the minds of President Harding and his cabinet when they met again today.
 It is unlikely however, that any de Unite line of American procedure will ue determined upon until Col George Harvey, American Ambassador to Great Britain, arrives in Washington the last of this month, fresh fir om How graVely the President and his advisers regard the situation, in the light of recent developments. may be drawn from the fact that Coi. Har- vey has been summoned to return home for the first time since he went abroad.
 Pressing Harding.
 President Harding is being urged to make clear cut statement of Americas position toward the con- troversy, embraced in the separations muddle and the question of interna- tional war debts. Such a statement some of his cabinet advisers believe, would have the effect of clarifying the issues and would afford the basis upon which a fresh start could be made toward getting order out of the chaos that now exists abroad
 Such a pronouncement of American policy probably would include:
 1. The United States relSHs the questions of separations and Interna- tionaI war debts as distinctly separate propositios as far as this country is concerned.
 2. Not being a recipient of German reparatiOn the United States is in terested in the question only insofar as 1t affects the welfare of Europe. 3. The United States, however, does consider that reparations should be sealed down to a point where Ger many can pay and still keep her head above the econ onic waters that now threaten to engulf her.
 4. The United States would look with distinct disfavor upon military occupation of the Ruhr by France.
 5. Should reparations be scaled down comnensurately with Ger many's ability to pay the American government would be disposed TO look favorably upon the participation of private American banking inter- ests in a gigantic international loan to Germany to stabilize the mark and enable Germany to get on her feet.
