Boland. who represented Mr. De Valera in the United States after the Sinn Fein chieftain had returned to Ireland, was considered as important. It had been understood since the initial meeting of the parliament that a decision be delayed until Mr. Boland could arrive and report the state of opinion in the Cnited States. There have been indications of di: sension in the rank and file of the parliament over the attitude to be taken toward the British offer of do- minion status for Ireland, and it ap- peared probable today that many members would speak on the question before final decision was reached. Press comments by Dublin newspa ers would scem to reflect a desire on the part of the Sinn Fein not to ut terly reject the British offer, but rather to obtain from Prime Minis- ter Lioyd George a statement giving details of the governmen:'s offer. The week-end passed quietly in this city, but it was m.rred in Belfast by the explosion of a bomb.
