PREMIER WILL CONFER
WITH IRISH LEADERS
Settlement Of Whole Problem Is Ex
pected-People Weary Of Pres
ent State Of Affairs.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 2j.-Premier Lloyd
George has invited the leading mem
bers of the Irish convention to confer
with the cabinet The following Of
fetal communication dealing with the
Irish convention was issued last even
ing:
"At todays Irish convention letter
from the premier was read. stating that
before the convention arrived at de-
cision on certain issues under discus
sion he and his colleagues in the cab
met would be happy to confer with 'he
leading representatives Of different sec
tions of the convention should they de-
sire to follow such course
"Thereupon it was decided to ad-
journ the convention, and certain mem
bers were selected to meet the premier
and his colleagues.
"Sir Horace Plunkett. the chairman
was authorized to arrange the con-
ference at the earliest possible date
and Immediately thereafter to summon
the convention"
Settlement Indicated.
In connection with the report of the
Irish convention which is expected
soon, the Associated Press learns tna'
there are two outstanding features
which indicate settlement of the per
picking auestion, whether or not the
conventions report is unanimous. one
feature is the appreciation on the part
of British statesmen that settlement
must be reached for the sake of ement-
ing further the friendship with the
United States. not only for the perloo
of the war, but for the future. The
other feature is that the British public
has become wearied by the present
state of affairs.
1t is pointed out that the war has
changed the whole problem Hitherto
the Irish question has been kept alive
by parties, but now there are no par
ties and all the leaders are agreed that
If a settlement is possible it must be
reached.
