(By Assoelatad Prass. )


 London, Jan- 1o-One Of the reasons for the delay in opening the negptda- lions between the Liberal ard Unipn- ist leaders on the subject Of Ulster . opposition to home ruis has been the lack ce personal relations between the Prime Minister and Bonar Law the leader or the opposition. In England, until recent years. the relations be- tween the heads of the gWo great par ties were such that regotiations Of the Kind could very eaaily be cpened at some social function. thus dsprivine them Of that formaHty which 50 often prevents such interuhaa&es rom be- ing successful.

 Not 60 Bonar Law and the Prime AIinieter. Law was an unrfted man when he was selected loader of the Opposition, because the unioslistE, who wanted Austin ChamberIain, as a leader and the old line Conservatives, who wanted Wa1ter Long, could npf come to an agreement.

Therefore the ne- gotint4ons in regard to the Ulster ants Of the two leaders and as far as the Unicnosta are concerned might be carried ko~& hnalifY by the juniors I'm the party. On the Idberal side, how sver, che final word must eoraa from MT Asqufth himself.
