0'Connor Declares That
Treaty Is Step Back
ward While Beasley In
sit, Il Gives Ireland
Her Opportunity
Griffith's Ratification Pro-
pOsal and De Valera's AL
tentative Once More Up
EARLY Vote Expected

Dublin, Jan. 3.-CBy Associated
Press The Dali Eireann today
plunged into sharp debate on the
Anglo-Irish treaty on reconvening
after the holiday recess. 1t had be-
fore it once more an order of the day
calling for consideration of both Ar
thur Griffith's ratification motion and
Eamon De Nalcras alternative pro-
posal. 1t was not generally thought
the debate would run many days
longer, many members expecting a
vote by Thursday night or Friday.
OConnor Opposed. ....
Art OConnor of South Kildare, Dali
minister of agriculture, opened the
debate with an argument that the
treaty was a step backward, and a
declaration of belief that the real
heart Of the Irish people had not
changed, despite numerous resolutions
by various bodies in favor of the
pact.
Collins Interrupts.
O'Connor was interrupted several
times, notably by Michael Collins, who
resented his attack on resolutions IA
voring the treaty passed by meetings
of farmers. Collins called attention
to the suffererings of the rural popu-
laton whose houses had been burned
on all sides.
Beasley In Favor.
Pierce Beasley of County Kerry,
noted for his exploits in prison break
ing, and his lifelong contributions to
the Irish movement, said none of the
opponents of the treaty had shown
any sign of constructive craftsmanship
or had even indicated what they pro-
posed to do If the treaty were reject
ed He contended the treaty gave
everything Ireland had been fighting
for. Michael Collins and Arthur Crit
fifth, he declared, know the Irish peo-
pie better than the opponents of this
treaty, who care only for dry FORM
ulae."
Would Die First.
Countess Markiewicz vigorously de-
nounced the treaty.
The countess demanded to know
what would be the position in the up
per house of the Irish free state of
the southern unionsts, who she said
lie'o peeH lne "orSC enemies OF Ire |
land. She called them traitors and |
oppressors of the Irish working class
es. Discussing the oath, she said:
Il, being an honorable woman. |
would sooner die than make a deca-
ration Of allegiance to King George" |
j. j. Walsh of Cork asserted that
he had visited his constituency during
the recess and learned that nine out
of every ten people in Cork wanted
the treaty accepted.

Alderman Angelo NJ. Paonessa on

forwarded letter to Gov. Everett
Lake asking for an audience for a
discussion of New Britain's transpor-

The committee will meet this week
to prepare data on the matter. Evi-
dence is being gathered to support the
city's contention that the Public Util-

upon that program by making per-
sonal visits.
The farmers already approached
have responded fairly well, it is re-
ported. In some instances there is
loss entailed due to the fact that re-
endorsement is on beef basis while
the herd was purchased on dairy
basis. This loss is made up for, the
doctors have explained, in doing away
with the possibility of condemned
carcasses at abattoirs. So strong has
the sentiment for better milk and bet
ter beef become that butchers are
now reported to be buying cattle con-
ditionally, the deal depending upon
whether or not it passes the inspec-
tors. BY having the herd accredited
by the state. this loss is guarded
against, the doctors point out.

junction Fa,oring Them.

New Haven, Jan. 3.-The Globe
theater management today filed a pc
tition with the board Of aldermen for
an order oyerruling Chief of Police
Smith who had refused a license to
this motion picture house. This place
was closed by the state police after
the Rialto theater fire but was per-
mitted by the same authority to re-
open after alterations had been made.
Later the management got an injunc-
ton restraining interference by Chief
Smith.
Decision Postponed.
An indefinite postponement was
given by Judge Webb today on the
order to show cause why permanent
injunction in favor of the Palace and
Biiou theaters to prevent Chief of Po-
lice Smith from interfering with
them, should not be issued. These
theaters have been open under a tenn
porary injunction but in federal court
after an injunction there was granted
the managements said that changes
would be made in those theaters to
make their exits and equipment con-
form to the building code. Chief
Smith is to issue permits if the alter
ations are satisfactory and the need
of restraint by injunction either in
state or federal courts may hereafter
not be necessary.
Mayor Has Veto
At city hall today it was reported
that the board of aldermen tonight
will receive from Mayor Fitzgerald a
veto of an order and permits to thea
ters to replace those recalled by the
mayor after the fire. This is a new
board, the old one having gone out
Of office last week. Mayor Fitzgerald
took up his new term of office yester-
day. The outgoing board passed the
order on a petition of theater man
agements for permits basing it's &C
ton upon an opinion by Corporation
Counsel Bennett that the 1920 build
ing code was not retroactive. Mayor
Fitzgerald recalled permits after
Building Inspector Austin had de-
clared that he had not required thea
ters to conform to the new building
code because he believed that provid-
ed they made no alterations, they
We're not amenable to the new code.
Mayor Fitzgerald, who had sat al
Coroner MiX's fire inquest, had de-
cared that no theater here had con-
formed to the present building code.

As She Sees Fit and American Can
DO Likewise.
Washington, Jan. 3.--The adminis-
tration would be directed under res
olution introduced today by Repre-
sentative Reavis, republican, Ne
braska to demand repayment by
France of money loaned to her by the
United States during the war. Mr..
Reavis in statement said prompt
payment of the debt should be in
sisted upon because France has in
Heated her intention of expending
large sums of money on increased
naval armament"
The resolution did not mention
France by name but in his formal
statement Mr. Reavis stated that 1t
was directed at France because of her
stand at the armament conference on
the submarine question.
Text of Resolution.
The text of the resolution follows:
Whereas the proceedings Of the
conference on the limitation of arm
aments disclose determination on
the part of certain debtor nations
Of the United States to eXpend large
sums of money on increased naval
armament.
"Resoved by the house of repre-
sentatives (the senate concurring)
that it is desire of congress that the
government Of the United States ad-
wise such nation or nations through
the proper channels that the payment
of obligations now due to the United
States will be acceptable
Mr.. Reavis' Statement
Mr.. Reavis statement follows:
THE United States feels very great
sympathy for the distress of Europe
aside from any selfish interest we may
have in the matter. ] do not doubt
that congress will be willing to fund
the European debt as suggested by
the administration if the necessity
for it is made apparent. But with
France standing unmoved before the
prayers and pleadings of mankind for
Il tranquil world and asserting the in
tention of vastly increasing the most
barbarous and inhuman implement OF
war, viz: the submarine, | think it
IS time to wipe the tears of sympathy
from our eyes and try to see with
clearer vision what the present sit
lation portends.
"France has today an army larger
han had Germany at any time before
he war. She not only, declines to
'educe it but insists upon perfect
reed, n of action to increase it. Her
position with reference to naval in
2reases comprehends the expenditure
If hundreds of millions of dollars. |
Surely no nation in the financial dis
ress in which France is alleged to be
,ould contemplate such an armament |
program.
"FranCe is sovereign nation and |
Is such she is free to follow her own |
nclinations. But the people Of the |
}nited States believing that huge arm
-ment are as provocative of war
oday as they were in 1914 can with
ustice insist that the program which
france has mapped out shall be paid
or with her money and not with
urs."

Watson Says State Cover
nor Has Practically De-
cided to Accept

Washington, Jan. 3. - Prediction
that Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania
would, within As hours announce his
intention of rcsigning to accept APP
pointment as L. S, senator to succeed
the late 3oies Penrose, was made to-
day by Senator Watson Of Indiana,
one of the republican leaders of the
senate after call at the White
House.
Senator Watson said that he had
been in conversation with Governor
Sproul several times over telephone
during the last two days and that in
his opinion the matter was practical
ly decided.
The particular reason which induc-
ed the senate republican organization
to urge speed in filing the vacancy
left by Senator Penrose's death is un-
derstood to be the approaching vote
on the Ford Newberry election con-
test. Senator Watson said today that
the vote probably would be close.
Governor Sprou would succeed to
the seat of Senator Penrose by resign
ing as governor and taking an ap-
pointment to the senate from the
present lieut.. governor. who would
succeed to the governorship.
Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 3.--Goyernor
Sproul said today that he had not yet
made up his mind as to what he
would do regarding a successorship
to Senator Penrose. The governor
made this statement shortly before
word came from Washington that
Senator Watson had said the govern
or would resign to enter the senate.
Strong pressure has been brought
to bear on the governor to take Sen
ator Penroses place Immediately and
equally strong representations have
been made to him by other friends TO
make a temporary appointment and
be candidate later in the year
II must decline any comment for the
present the governor said 1T is
true that | have talked with Senator
Watson and others in Washington,
