Dais Action On Free State Pact Hangs In Balance
Dublin Dec 19 The Dail adjourned after hours of debate on ratifying the treaty to set up the Irish Free State. Sinn Fein figures offered no clear verdict on who would gain a majority.

De Valera urged rejection as subversion, while Collins argued for safeguarding Ireland’s rights and Ulster goodwill. The article notes continued discussion and a possible continuation on page two.
