There had Lech auch said about the Treaty, he observed, to the effect that there was duress when it was signed. Undoubtedly there was in the facts of the situntion.

The fact, if it were a fact, that war was ex- pictly presented as the alternative 10 one of the signatories did not alter the situation very much one way or the other. It was question of a comparison of sticks, and undoubtedly in the face of the alternative the Treaty was signed; The position was that the Irish people, confronted with a certain set of facts and circumstances, deliberately made their choles and took the Treaty as the beat thing that could be got in the cir cumstances of the time, not believing very much in the prospects of getting anything

Mr. Cathal O'Shannon; one of the Labour leaders, moved an amendment to. substitute for Article 1 the following: "Ireland is a free State, and shall be kuown as Saorstat Eireann, Irish Free State. All powers of government and all- authority-legislative, executive, and izial-are derived from the people, and the ne shall be execised through the organisations established by or under and in accord with this constitution." O'Shannon claimed particular that the whole and not a part of Ireland should be known as the Irish Free State. The amendment was defeated' by. 36 votes to 44.

An amendment by Mi. Gavan Duffy to make Article 2 read "That all powers of government, etc., are derived from the people of Ireland," the words of Ice- land being inserted into the draft, was accepted by the Home Minister after a plea by Mr. Thomas Johnson, leader of the Labour party, that for official pur poses Ireland should be known as tho Irish Free State, "The country," ho said, is still a anit, even though the powers of the Dail are no longer exer- cised in the north-eastern area. It is a mistake in my opinion to interpret this Treaty as though the partition could take place by virtue of the decision of the Northern Parliament." If the Northern Parliament dreided to contract-out they in the Free State Parliament had agreed to delegate power, of government to a Parliament ratablished by an Act of the British Parliament.
