The treaty, he said, seemed te give sub stantially all that was necessary for the welfare and pregrcrn of the 'country. Dy tlie Associated Tress Dublin, Jan. 3. Iltttcrness nndhlRh feeling were displayed by both sides in the resumption by the Dail Elrcann to te day of debate en the Angle-Irish treaty. The animosity between the factions seemed far mere sharply drawn than before the adjournment for the holi days and wus the outstanding feature of the. opening session, which begnn shortly after 11 A.

She, like Art ' O'Connor, concentrated en tnc position " the -Southern Unionists would liave In the Southern Parliament if the Irlih free State were established. The Count ess' denounced them as Ireland's wewt (nemlcs. rtraslpv's nlea te the Dail was that It face the realities of thr situation and elve a chance te 1 10 nation which is trying te be born." Walsus argument waa tnai mere was nothing in the treaty that robbed the Irish people of their Ideal oLludc eLludc pendence. He declared, amid cries of "Ne, no!" that the most the republi can pppenents of the treaty ever 'hoped for was a repuimc ter inrei-quariers eMrcland, as they knew Ulster could nrer be included in It. Treaty Opponent Itegins Debate Art O'Connor, of Seuth Klldiire, Dail Minister of Agriculture, who opened tedaj's debate, declared the treaty was a step backward, and ex pressed the bejlef that the real heart of the, llrWi people had net changed, despite the numerous resolutions uy various bodies in favor of the pact. O'Connor asserted the campaign since the Dall's adjournment hnd In reality hurt the treaty, declarine It had been naged by people who had never done any geed work for the country and iwere new; "howling at us." He nt- Jacked the Southern I'nlenlstx, saying the people of Ireland would hnve none of them in the Irish Free State.

GILBERT filnn Correspondent Krrnlnr mbtlc X.ftUf r CopvrieM, 1011, bu rublte Ltdeer Compani Washington, Jan. ,1. The Confer ence is suffering 'from the contrast be tween the false hopes aroused with re spect te It and Its actual accomplish ment. It-is Paris ever again. Mr. Wilsen furnlshed-the ammunition te his enemies by the extravagant predictions he made etild be done for justice nnd crsaillcs. same way Mr. Hughes hns the ammunition for his ene mies by his grandstand play nt the opening of the Conference. The propa ganda of success which was put forth by him, by President Herding nnd, above all, 'by the British Jed the public te expect miracles. . There have net been miracles, and the critics nre busy. Jn Senate circles you hear that .the election of a Repub lican Congress next fall is new endan gered nnd that there is nothing left for the Secretary of State te de but te resign. False Hopes Aroused Partly the American temperament is at fault. It proceeds tee easily te ex cessive optimism. Obstacles vanish by muglc. It is a part of the creed that you must ignore the evidence of your senses and believe thnt the impossible will come. The men who wrote from here, the officials who issued state ments here, the Urltlsh propagandists here who declared daily that this was the most wonderfully successful gather ing in the history of mankind did the Conference nnd the cause of interna tional co-operation the worst harm possible. They aroused the false hopes which are responsible for the present de pression. It was only by keeping your feet en the ground, remaining skeptical, rccecnizlne the difficulties, that you could leek at the actual result coolly in the light of what might reasonably be expected. Mr. Hughes, moreover, made the mistake which no gped dramatist would make of staging tee geed n first act. Ne play could go along en the level of that nrst scene, lie taugnt ins audi ence te expect tee much. The actual accomplishments of the Conference fall short of Mr. Hughes first net. The nnvnl holiday has been impaired by the agreement te build pest-Jutland battleships and still mere by the allowance of nineteen airplane carriers, equal in size and speed te bat tle cruisers and costing as much, and by the possible competition in subma rines nnd In light cruisers. The savings in money have largely gene te provide for new craft. Naval Competition Continues It has proved impossible te step naval competition nmeng nations or te lessen the prospects of war through the limitation of armament. Net much wns expected from the Far Knstcrn side of the Conference, and net much will come of it. Hut there remains the fact thnt for the first time In history nations have partly agred te a limitation of naval armament. Hven If oenipotltlon has net been stepped, the feeling that nations nre building ngalnst each ether lias been lessened. The competition that remains Is largely In dcfeiwive craft, and competi tion ln defensive craft will have a vastly different psychological effect upon the nations than competition in offensive craft had. Moreover, with competition ln offen sive craft limited, perhaps the competi tion In defensive craft will net take place. Large numbers of submarines, cruisers and airplanes nun net be built. All that has happened here is thnt the Powers reserve the right te build them. Moreocr, there remains the four Power pact. This Is 1111 experiment in international co-epcnitlon. It Is n little League of Nations for the Pacific. It alms te allay suspicion and hostil ity between the great powers who are members of it. It is open te criticism in net includ ing China nor providing for the admis sion of Russia when Russia recovers. Continued en l'aee Thlrtfrn. Column Slj SIX ARE HURT IN CRASH OF CITY-OWNED MACHINE J.
