Il do not think IL possible to negotiate

posed terms are TO be publicly discussed
before the government has agreed TO
them
The government. however. is most
anxious TO take the house into its conf
dence at the earliest possible moment
Mr. Balfour's reply has particular in
tereSt, as Belfast dispatches today an
nounce that the government accepted J.

As an evidence of acceptance II IL
stated that the government has chartered

The Belfast dispatch may slightly an
