OF DE VALERA
Sinn Fein President Takes For
mal Step in pil Eireann
Against Ratification of Peace
Treaty; Stirs His Opponents.
Dublin Dec 19. (L M. S.) Formal
motion for the rejection of the Irish
peace treaty was made in the public
session of Dail fiireann today by Earn
onn De Valera. It was seconded by
Austen Stack, a member of the Sinn
Fein cabinet.
Renewed warfare on England was
threatened during debate.
I hope to continue to fijrht. even if
this rotten document is accepted," cried
stacK.
Rather than ask the people to ac
cept such a document I would ask them
to continue in slavery" said De Valera.
it Is the principle that is objection
able."
In seconding the motion to reject the
treaty Stack said:
I attack this action because the
treaty makes the Irish British subjects.
It was not for this that our patriots
died." ,
Arthur Griffith, founder of Sinn Fein.
made a fighting speech in favor of the
pact.. He read a letter from Premier
Lloyd George promising equality with
Canada and Australia and also a place
in tne Lieague of Nations for Ireland.
GRIFFITH WAR7TS DAIt
Griffith warned the Sinn Feiners that
they would lose ; the sympathy of the
world if they reject the treaty.
No sooner had i the open session been
called to order than De Valera announced
that he wanted his counter-proposals to
me Irian peace treaty kept secret.
Micnael Collins, commander-in-chief
oi tne Irish Republican army, jumped
up ana declared that it was his inten

stated to the -International News Service
today by a close personal friend of the

"Mr. Wilson feels." said nitt iriKltm

The former president ardentry desires
me ruiiest success for the Washington
conference, according to his visitor, Mr.
Wilson expressed the wholehearted ap
probation of the naval agreement
entered into by the United States. Great
Britain and Japan, but regretted that
tne Hughes program had not g

Mr. Wilson thought the naval pro

it was siatea, -but He considered the
concession made to Japan in the Mutsn

sum of 12,000,000 for the purpose of
assisting in financing an Interna
tional exposition to be held in Ore

is the desire of those interested
that an additional $4,000,000 be raised
for this purpose, of which $1,000,000
is to be raised by private subscrip
tion and. the balance by a tax
against the" people of the state at

It is necessary to submit a question
involving such an amount of revenue
to the people, tot them to determine
by their ballots whether they desire
to share in bearing the burden of
financing such an exposition through
revenue derived from taxation.. The
question of such submission to the
jxople is to come before , you. I
presume, in submitting such matters
to a special election, that the tfme of

ropean financial question was taken up
first when the conference between rrv

began at 10 Downing street today. Oth

The arrival of Walter Ratheneau from
Berlin just as the conference onened
caused much surprise and speculation.
Ratheneau. former minister of recon

visited London in an unsuccessful quest
for credits. He is said to have returned
upon direct invitation from Premer
