De Valera Opens
Drive Against
New Government
Republican Soldiers Stage Pa
rade in Dublin Prior to
Meeting in O'Connell
Street.
BY The Associated Press

Dublin, Feb. l2.-Eamonn de
Valera today opened the campaign
against the provisional government
with great demonstration held in
O'Connell street. Three large plat
forms had been placed for tie
speakers, and each was surrounded d
by large crowds. Members of the
republican and metropolitan police
regulated the gathering. All traffic
in O'Connell street was suspended
for an hour by order of the repub-
lican chief of police.
About 1000 republican soldiers
paraded prior TO the meeting.
Resolutions Passed.
Mr.. De Valera was accorded A
great reception. Six resolutions
proposed during the meeting af-
firmed that the Irish nation was
one and indivisible; that all state
authority in ireland is derived sole
ly from the Irish people; that the
British crown is all alien crown,
and that Ireland is no part OF the
British empire.
The resolutions further declared
that the articles OF the London
agreement failed to represent e
true desire of the Irish people; that
the treaty was obtained under dur
ess and that the dali eireann is NOT
competent to give its legal sanction
and therefore it is null and void.
They added that TO force upon
Ireland an election involving recog-
milton of partition before the dali
cream has expressed its sanction
is unconstitutional. An additional
resolution called upon the people for
support OF the dependents of pris-
onerS.
Scores London Treaty.
Mr.. De Valera. in his speech, said
it was a lie that the Irish people
would, by a majority, accept the
treaty. He added that although he
meeting had been advertised for
only three days. thousands OF per-
sons had assembled in support OF
the republic proclaimed during
Easter week." and which was rat
flied at the Irish elections. The
London agreement was not treaty
but an instrument which in every
line denied Irish sovereignty.
1t was signed, he said, under
duress and was no more binding
than the infamous act Of union.

is given as 20S,732,2l2 bushels. as
compared with 255,544,8l6 in 1920,

This is accounted for beth in de-
creased acreage and decreased yield
per acre caused by. drouth in some
sections in August. With value
OF 50 cents per bushel in 1920, and
% cents per bushel in 1921, the de-
partment points out why the Ne
