Irish Nationalist
Threaten to Resign

London, May 12.-"The Daily Tele-
graphs Parliamentary lobby CORE
spondent says that, owing to the recent
unfavorable turn in Irish affairs, sew
eral leading members of the Nationalist
party are threatening TO resign their
seats in the House OF Commons.
According to "The Times" the South
Longford election, in which a Sim
Feiner won the seat, has not altered
the governments determination 10 sub
NIT to Parliament proposals of an irish
settlement. but that there is little
doubt that it will cause the ministers
to modify their views on the practice
bility Of county option or any similar
form of partition. The Nationalist
members, says The Times" do not
conceal anxiety over their future posi-
ton, and already are talking Of des-
perate measures.
An influential section is prepared TO
advise the party, if the government
proposals concerning their view are
fair and practicable, 10 resign in a
body and appeal to their constituencies
for a mandate to accept the proposals.
They feel, "The Times" adds. that after
two Sim Fein victories they have not
the necessary authority to bind the
Catholic parts of Ireland to any funda-
mental change.
