It is said that the pressure of public opinion has
been so strong that the respective followers of Mr. De Valera and Mr. Griffith have come to terms in favour of acceptance. On Wednesday, the Kilkenny County Council passed a resolution by eighteen votes to one calling on the county members of the Dail to vote for the Treaty. Tho Longford County Council, the South Cork Executive of Sinn Fein, and the North Donegal Sinn Fein Executive have passed similar resolutions. The Prime Minister, in a statement issued at Cannes on Wednesday, said that any alteration in the Irish Treaty would render it null and void. The Government had gone to the extreme limit, and to reopen the discussion which had been ended " only after the most exhaustive consideration of every point" would be " a fruitless proceeding and impossible."
