Or perhaps it would be fairer to say that the Dail Eireann--~ the Dublin parliament-- has been re- sponsible for the `delay, for many municipal bodies and other i public; organizations have expressed their "desire for 'the.tr eaty. Mr. de Valera has made a stubborn fight against terms that those who know the Brit- ish temperament know that they rep`; resent the last limit of concessions possible at this time. Whatever may come in the future remains for the a future to disclose.
