U p itt nrfliasvt PRESCRIBED OATH OF ALLEGI- ANCE ACKNOWLEDGES AUTHORITY OF KING IS GREATEST TRIUMPH SINCE KINSALE BATTLE New British Government Leaders Faver Ratification by Parliament (By Associated Press) Dublin, Oct. 25-The new Irish con- stitution had its third and final read- ing in the Dail Eireann today. Deputy John Milroy described the document as the greatest triumph for Ireland since the battle of Kinsale. It was a monument, he added, to the two great men who have passed away-Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith, whose names would be bless- ed by future generations of Irish- men. Mr. Milroy said he did not wish to; suggest that the British government would jeopardize a bill won with so much labor and sacrifice, but that the Dail must look beyond the bill to their fellow countrymen in northeast- ern Ireland as the next great step that would have to be considered. He hoped the Anglo-Irish treaty and the constitution would bring the north- easterners to realize that their inter- ests were those of Tipperary, Cork, and Dublin. Lock for Reoniliatio To these people a message of good will and reconciliation should go out from the national asssembly, the speaker declared. Numerous other deputies spoke, several of them in Gaelic. All of them supported the mo- tion of Kevin 'O'Higgins, minster of foreign affairs, for the passage of the third reading of the bill.h After some verbal amendments to the bill, the1 motion of passage was carried. The constitution of the New Irish Free State 'has now advanced to its final stage, and only a few formalities remain to put thfs notable document into complete effect in the administra- tion of Ireland and of its relations with the British government. The Constitution in its final form is substantially the same as originally framed, in accordance with the treaty negotiated between the Irish dele- gates, headed by Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins, and the British cab- inet members, headed by Premier Lloyd George. The treaty provided for a Constitution ,and this was later drawn up in Dublin and given cab- inet approval in London.- Essentially Like Original A few minor amendments were made in the course of the discussion of the Constitution by the Irish parliament, but all the essential features of the original pact remain, and particularly the creation of Ireland as the "Irish Free State;" its establishment as one of the Dominions of the British Com- monwealth, with its own parliament and executive organization; and with the. oath of allegiace to the king, which still preserves' the tie uniting Ireland with the rest of the British Comomnwealth. The Constitution has not yet re- ceived the final sanction of the Brit- ish parliament. But as the Irish treaty, on which the Constitution is based, was favorably acted upon by the British parliament, the ratifica- tion of the Constitution has been look- ed upon as a formality. Within the past week, however, a certain element of uncertainty has entered into the situation because of the fall of the Lloyd George government which ne- gotiated on the treaty, and the fact that a new parliament is to be chos- en. Leaders of the new British gov- ernment, however, have expressed themselves as favorable to the ratifi- cation of the constitution by the new parliament.
