Dublin, Dec.

on th.
statement
cos Mr.
De
Valera,
in
whi
s
the
Republican
leader
declared
hinseid
in
opposition
to
the
terms
of
the
lvsh
agreement,
the
Irish Independent
today
says.
In
conneciion
with
this
develop
ment,
the
outstanding
fact
is
that
on
September
14th
last,
the
Dail
Eireann
appointed
five plenipotentiaries
to repre-
sent
Ireland at
a conference
with repre-
sentatives
of the British
Government,
to
discuss
the Anglo-Irish
problem
and
if
possible
arrive
at
a
settlement.
With
skill
and ability
these
plenipotentiaries
fulfilled the onerous
missivn
entrusted
to
them.
After
long
weeks
of
arduous
labour and persistent
efforr they secured
terms
and
a settlement,
which,
we
have
no
doubt,
were
the best
that in existing
conditions
could
have
been
extracted.
As Plenipotentiaries
they represented
the
Dail Eireann
ond
the Irish nation
and in
the
exercise
of their
power
they
signed
a
treaty
of peace.
We
submit
that
in
the circumstances
the nation
is
'n honour
bound
to uphold
their action’’.
