BRITAIN AND FREE STATE
TREATY DISCUSSION.
(Received Saturday, 11.0 a.m.) DUBLIN, Friday.
Mr McEntee, referring to the AngloIrish Treaty in the Dail, said:—“Even if we momentarily are operating within the Treaty and Constitution, we are doing so under duress, because they are forced upon us. The Opposition Advances from the Tricolour to the Union Jack, declaring that they will adopt British Commonwealth symbols, namely, the Crown and Protestant succession, for'which Ireland, as a Catholie nation, is accepting penal laws. “Bunk!” interjected Mr McDermot, amid Opposition applause. Mr McEntee insisted that duress remained, because Mr De Valera had failed to induce Britain to declare her attitude towards Ireland’s freedom to secede without incurring economic and military penalties.
