DUBLIN, December 16.—The crowd greeting the members of the dail eireann at the entrance of University College was much thinner today than on the two previous days of its con- sideration of the Irish peace treaty. The private esssions of the dail, it is declared in some quarters, have been devoted largely to an attempt to discover some meéthod whereby it can accept the tréaty and at the same time not register a defeat for Eamonn De Valera and his followers. The principal difficulty in the way Is saia to be De Valera himself. The dail can accept or réject the treaty, but cannot make a fresh one without renewed negotiations, yet parts of the debate in secret session are said to have been concerned with the details &s to how the delegates might have secured better terms. Army’s Attitude Pussling. The attitude of the republican army is causing much speculation. Its heads in the dail are admittedly di- vided on the question of accepting the treaty, but all leaders agree in depreciating any interference dy the army in the political decision. The official organ of the army de- tlares that whatever the decision may ! be the army will accept it in the true spirit of disciplined soldiers in sup- port of the national will constitu- tionally expressed. - . Reports were circulation here yesterday in usually authoritative quarters that & split is taking place among the factions in Belfast and that this will be made manifest should the dail eireann ultimately ratify the peeace treaty with Great Britain must either disarm or give up civiii- zation. The sum of $16,442,000,000 was spent for military purposes in |19. . two years after the war cloged. It is impossible to build up enter- prise _under such conditions. They dull the initiative of business. “How can such a great burden be carried without great taxes? How can we reduce expenses without re- ducing the burden? How can Con- B1¢88 or the Senate relieve business except by reduciag these things that eat up all the profit? Weuld Force Disarmament. “I favor a continuance of the great conference until the people and pub- lic opinion force disarmament, until there is left enough armament only to be a police force for a nation. “The conference in Washington has and the commission are faced with the apparent inability of Germany to pay except in one of the three ways out- lined. These methods, according to a mafjority of the experts, might lead to 2 more serious situation than default in the January and February pay- ments would bring about. The payments due January 15 and February 16 are of 500,000,000 geld marks each. The German note de- clared that, even with the time ex- tension, payment in full depended upon the success of efforts to obtain loan. B ntoms recelpts and revenues from other sources which Germany has intended to use in ments had netted only X 000 to 200,000,000 gold marks, the note continued.” The length of the de- lay requested was not ‘mentioned, but no request was made for a mora- torium. 1though the note cannot be de- pcAflbea n.‘s curt, it is regarded in repa- rations circles as remarkable for its lack of details or expression of re- gret over its failure to live up to the agreement. For these and other rea- sons the note has made an unfavor- able fmpression in French circles. “will the Ruhr be occupied this time?” “Germany canot pay, but her jndustry pays 89 per cent dividenda.
