S--Propose a project which the Department of the In .meeting of the allied supreme council was opened on Thursday. EBATEO on the Irish treaty was al most overshadowed in Dublin by { the kidnaping, presunably by support era of De Valera, of A. B. Kay, cor respondent of the London Times, and by a hot discussion in the Dali Eireann concerning the freedom of. the press, provoked by an attack on the Free man's Journal because it advocated ratification of the pact. The corte spondents united in a demand that Mr. Kay be released and that a public apology for his kidnaping be made in the Dail Eireann. - The strength of the opposition to the peace treaty in the Dali Eireann when It reassembled after the holidays I bias unexpected. De Valera, Countess Markiewlez and many others denounced the pact bitterly and were not at all abashed by the arguments of its sup porters. On Wednesday De Valera issued a proclamation to the "People I of Ireland" and also circulated copies of the "i)ocument No. 2" shorn of several of its clauses. This latter was I)e Valera's proposed alternative pact, and a fierce debate at once arose over whether it should be considered I as an amendment to the treaty and 1 voted on first, as De Valera wished, or whether a vote should first he taken on the treaty and, if it were unfavor able, then on the alternative. In the course of the row De Valera shouted that he was "going to move this amend ment at my own time and in my own way," and when reminded this was a matter for the chair to decide he hotly retorted : "I am the president here and I am going to make my own rules of procedure iIn my ow1, way and at my own time." The alternative is n.ot vastiy dif ferent fr'om the treaty arranged inl London. It provides that tile legisla ture, executive and~ jludicial lauthlority of Ireland shail be derived solely from the people of Ireland ; thant for the p~ur pose8 of common concern Ireland shail lbe associated with the states, of tile British empire, with rigihts, status 'and(1 privileges In no respect less tihan .those states, and that for the purposes~ of the association Ireland shail recognize his Britannic majesty as head of tile association. Most of the othler termls are similar to those of the treaty. T E O tt of Senator Boles Penrose of PnnslvaIin ot 03113 deepjly gr'ievedl his mniy friends and admnirers. 4It also caused considerable dismay among those wh'lo (d0 not approve of the so-called agricultural bloc in the senate. For Penrose was chairmlan of the senate finance committee and if tile systeml of seniority is adhered to Ils successor in that place of pow~er will lbe Senator McCumlber of North Dakota, one of the chlarter mlemblers of the bloc. Penrose also was recogniizedl as the leader of the coni servative element in the senate', and1( ini tils positionl he is succeeded by Senator WVatson of Indiana. Gov. WV. C.
