WILLING TO GO TO POLLS.
President Cosgrove Doubts De Va
lera's Ability to Win Seat.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 12-President
Cosgrove of the Dali Eireann, in a
statement in the Daily Mail, declared
that he was ready to agree that
Eamon De Valera should advise his
followers to surrender their arms on
the condition that the question of a
republic or the Free State should be
left to the electors.
President Cosgrave's declarat ton was
made unhesitatingly in reply to the
interviewer's question, He added:
The new franchise list will not be
ready before June or July, but I
would then be more than willing to
leave the decision of Ireland's gov
ernment to the people. the election to
be fought on the system of proper
tional representation.
Says De Valera Would Lose.
There is not seat in Ireland that
De Valera could win under those con-
ditions, not even Clare. where he won
his last seat, nor West Cork, where the
irregulars are supposed to be strong.
De Valera's following is actually very
small it consists mainly of irresponsi-
BILE young men and women.
I'VE know the lrregularS are tired.
The country wants to settle down. We
have had direct communications from
the irregulars in the west, showing that
they do not stand for De Valera as
president Of the republic. He was never
elected president of the republic: he
conferred the title on himself in Ameri-
ca. Arthur Griffith never claimed to be
more than president of the dali"
Denies British VIII Aid.
Referring to the financial situation,
Mr. Cosgrove said that but for the alb
normal military expenditure. the budget
would have balanced on the right side
at the end Of the year.
Mr.. Cosgrove emphatically denied a
rumor that British troops might be
needed to reinforce the Free State army
against the republicans.
Eamon De Valera is said to have an
nounced his willingness to accept peace
terms on condition that Irish elections
be held on the one clear issue
whether Ireland should be free
state or a republic.
