MORE HOPE FOR PEACE TREATY; IN IRELAND Should the Irish Parliament Vote Yes the designation of Valera is Probable DUBLIN," Dec. 10 Jfiamon Da Valera In announcing the tact -that the. tit-uty Qreat Britain and Ire-laud, would come up next Wednesday iu the Dall Elreana on the question of ratittcttllpu, issued the following statement: "To prevent misunderstanding, the public should realiie first, the tieaty signed by our plenipotentiaries must be ratified by the Dall, no less than by the British, parliament, In order to take effect and, second, that the usual course would be tor tin) cabinet to Introduce the treaty agreement as a cabinet measure.

In the pioseht case, owing to the fuel that In the latter stages of he negotiations the views ot the plenipo tentiaries differed from those ot cer tatu members of "tbe cabinet, this course cannot bo taken." The situation following the publica tion ot a split In the Dall Elreann cabinet over ratification ot the Anglo- Irish treaty yielded to a more calm attitude here last night. There seems to be ground for th belief that Arthur Griffith, who bead ed tho delegation which signed th agreement In London, will have a sufficient following at the. meeting of the Shin Fein parliament next Wed nesday to Insure ratification, ot the agreement by a substantial majority The headquarters staff ot tbe Irish republican army Is supposed to behind Mtchsel Collins, also signer of the agreement In which ess a majority for ratification would be certain, since a large proportion ot the Dshl lembers at men who at some time have lK5nged to th army. Hhould a considerable majority support the motion for ratification and thus vole againat Eamon De Valera. It Is thought probable will stand aside" and let Mr Orlffith make tbe best or tne situstion.
