HELD IN DURESS

FREE STATE ALLEGATIONS United Press Association—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, March 22. Mr Sean McEntee (Minister of Finance), referring to the Anglo-Irish Treaty in the Dail, said: “Even if we are momentarily operating within the Treaty and Constitution, we are doing so under duress, because they are forced upon us. The Opposition’s advances from the Tricolour to the Union Jack, declared that they would adopt British Commonwealth symbols, namely the Crown and the Protestant succession, for which Ireland, as a Catholic nation, is accepting penal laws.” “Bunk!” Interjected Mr Frank MacDermot (Leader of the Young Irish Party), amid Opposition applause.

Mr McEntee insisted that duress remained the cause. Mr De Valera had failed to induce Britain to declare its attitude towards Ireland's freedom to secede without incurring economic and military penalties.
