Free State chief, and cannon de Valera

viewed with deep dlstrust by many
from the outset owing to De Valera's
avowed Incorporating hostility to
the Anglo-Irish treaty and the pro-
posed constitution, is now regarded
with increased suspicion in cOnse-
quence Of Collins address before the
ard fheis.
In his ad iress, Mr.. Collins said: eff,
as has been said, this agreement i'm
perils the Anglo-Irish treaty, we will
have to face that in this manner, We
have made an agreement which will
bring stable conditions to the coun-
try, and If these stable conditions are
not more valuable than any other
agreement. then we must face what
these stable conditions will enable US
to face"

Ing not only the southern counties but
the whole of Ireland He adds: "The
treaty from today is of little value.

ments and declared himself prepared
