NEW ERIN TROUBLE
Situation Considered More Serious Now As Result of Collins DeVaIera Pact and Address Made.

London. May 14 (By Associated Press) 1.-The latest developments in Ireland are regarded here as having added to the seriousness of the situa- tion, and considerable anxiety. is manifest as to the outcome. The pact between Michael Collins and Ramon De Valera which was viewed with distrust by many from the outside owing to the latter's avowed uncom- promising hostility to the Anglo-Irish treaty and the proposed constitution, is now regarded with increased suspi- cion in consequence Of Collins ad- dress before the Ard Fhes yesterday.
 In his address MT. Collins said:
 If, as has been said, this agree ment imperls the Anglo-Ireland treaty we will have to face that in this manner. We have made an agreement which will bring stable conditions to the country and if the ble conditions are not more valu- able than any other agreement then we must face what these stable con- ditons will enable us to face"
 This is generally interpreted here as defiance of Great Britain and the Times Dublin correspondent is moved to say:
 The statement is so grave that nasty comment upon it would be inn proper"
