Boland Against Treaty.
Dublin, Jan. 7-(By the A. Pat
the beginning of today's session of the
Dali Eirreann speaker John MacNeill
read motion prepared by himself
calling on the Dali TO affirm that Ire
land is sovereign state, deriving its
authority from the will of the people
The motion would provide that all Of
Ireland's international relations must
be governed by this status.
It is expected the motion will be
put thru if the treaty is ratified. Fol-
lowing the reading of the motion
Harry Boland arose to speak against
the treaty
He asked for a vote of thanks for
the magnificent support America has
given us. No one knew better than
Michael Collins. Boand declared, that
there were 5000 men in America eager
to fight for Ireland, and that many
such men had come back to Ireland
and fought valiantly
Boland said he would have to admit
that sentiment in America favored tho
treaty but many subscribers to the
Irish loan would regard adoption of the
treaty as betrayal of their sympathy
and support He declared acceptance
of the treaty would be suicide for
Ireland
Joseph McGrath Of Dublin followed
in support Of the treaty. He created
sensation by stating that when
and Boland went to GairlOch, Scot
land on their last trip as messengers
in the negotiations withP rime Minis
ter Lloyd George. Boland told him he
was going to America on behalf
Famonn de alera to prepare the peo-
pie Of America to accept something
shorth of a republic"
Replying to McGrath, de Valera said
that because he wanted to be honest
with the American people he had told
Boland to let them know he could not
secure the "isolated republic which
was Irelands ideal, but that his eXter-
nal association plan would give Ire
land independence.
