DUBLIN, Tuesday. Mr. Joseph Connolly (PostmasterGeneral), in moving the second leading of the Emergency Duties Bill in the Senafe, said it would enable reprisals against Britain, but they would have to be carefully and prudently exereised. Mr. Milroy, who escaped frcm Lincoln Gaol with Mr de Valera, declared that the Bill should be accompanted by a medieal certificate as to the mcntal state of the Executiva Council. One wondered whetlier it was the work of ciminal lunaf ics or those too consum. d with the mania of neurctie ego. It was bideous to think cf. ar.d would plunge Ireland 'into misery and destitution. The Government in a few months had brought the country direct to the nrost appall'ing position ever confronting it. The Cabinet's policy was destructive of icverything built up since the treaty, Mr. de Yalera wanted to return to ihe conditions of 1921, and have another round with England. Mr. Douglas said the voters would demand that the Government at the next election declare for a Republic, producing another economic war, which whs more than Ireland could stand.
