There was a sharp exchange of views in Dail Eireann to-day regarding alleged premature references to the alternative treaty proposals which Mr. de Valera gave notice that he would submit months. after the ratification division had been taken. The terms of the alternative treaty have hitherto bean jealously guarded from general publication, as mentioned in a message of the zlat, ult.

Mr. do Valera ultimately announced unexpectedly that ke would submit the document to-morrow as an amendment.

(The previous cable stated: The sponkors were equally divided jetween supporters and opponents of the treaty. Mr. de Valera's Insistance upon secrecy regarding his alternative treaty, which the Dail had already discussed in 's three days' private session last week, hampered the debate,

There was a great scene when Mr. Milroy supporting the treaty, revealed Mr. de Valera's form of osth-namely, I swear to bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of Ireland and the Treaty of Association of Ireland with the British Commonwealth of Nations, and to recognise The King of Great Britain as head of the Associated States,"

Mr. Milroy said that the sole issue was the two forms of oath, Mr. de Valera said that it was shameful to disclose a secret! document.

Mr. Milroy demanded whother Mr. de Valera was going to send) the youth of Ireland to the shambles for a shadow.)

De Valera Calls Upon the People to "Stand Fast."

Later.

Mr. de Valera has issued a proclamation calling upon the people to stand fast, and declaring that the position can yat he retrieved at the eleventh hour...

De Valera's Reason for not Going to London.

Later. The Dail adjourned after a stuity scene in which Mr. de Valera denied departing one iots from the position of a republic, declaring that the reason why he did not go to London was in order to keep the small republic pure. Mr. de Valera's alternative proposals will be issued in Dublin to-night.

Dail President's Ruling Against De Valera.

Later. The President of the Dail has definitely decided that Mr. de Valera cannot move an amendment to the treaty, but can only move) an amendment to the resolution now before the Dail approving the kreaty

Outline of Alternative Proposals.

Mr. de Valera's counter-proposals are a complete alternative: treaty of Peventeen clauses, with various annexes. The clauses are largely identical with the corresponding clauses of the agreement signed in London. The chief differences are the omission of the osth of Allegiance, also all reference to Ulstor:
