Professor o‘Rahilly’s pamphlet m defence of the treaty reveals that Mr do Valera’s “Document No. a does not propose a republic, bucontemplates Ireland’s association with tho Empire for defence and treaties of peace'and war and recognition of the King as head of tho association. Professor 0 RHiilly points out that an associated State is impracticable and would entail the concurrent approval of Britain and all tho Dominions, and that the external and internal powers of Ireland 1 proposed by Mr do Valero would not diller from those conferred by the treaty. j Rec. Jan. 5, morning. London, Jan. 3. Sniping was resumed in a Belfast street on Tuesday night. ; The military used armoured cars and machine guns. Fifty-three members of ; the Bail Eireann have spoken and fifty others have intimated their intention of speaking. It is belieyed that the forces of ratification and rejectionists are equal, and nine members have not given either party a definite pledge.

Rec. Jan. 5, 9.5. a.m. j London, Jan. 4. j In the Bail Eireann, de Valera gave notice of motion—That as the treaty does not reconcile Irish national 1 inspirations and her association ■with tho British Commonwealth he will propose- a new treaty of amity and association. I)e Valera irill submit the text when he moves the motion.

Mr McCabe, resumed the debate. He said the rejection of the treaty would be criminal and an incitement to national suicide. They should not vote against it because of revenge for wrongs done in wars. He declared that Document No. 2 which de Valera proposed to submit contained all the objects of the treaty.

Rett Jan 5,10.30 p.m ' V London, Jan 4 At the sitting of the Bail Eireann, Mr De Valera protested against 4he references to his document, whicn had not been put forward.

Mr McCabe replied: “It should not be suppressed.” Mr De Valera said it would have to be introduced as an amendment, but those favouring the treaty insisted upon a secret vote. On approval he gave notice that he would insist upon his rights and introduce Document No 2 to-morrow as an amendment.

Mr Duffy, commander of the republican army and member for Monaghan, supported the treaty because he said only ones or two of his five thousand constituents opposed it and he believed their judgment was correct. f> '
