LONDON, Dec 3.--The possibility of a
Christmas truce i'm Ireland seems to be
connected with a suggestion made by
Roger n. Sweetman. a Sim Fein MEM
Der OF Parliament for North Wexford.
that advantage be taken Of the Labor
Commission in Ireland to bring about a
conference between the commission and
the Irish Labor party. the Irish Peace
Conference and the Catholic Hierarchy.
to enlist all moderate opinion in Ireland
in the support OF Cardinal Logue's ap-
peal for "a truce for God"
Mr.. Sweetman is a wealthy land owner
Of moderate views. and II Is believed
here he will be supported by large
number OF Sim Feiners representing
moderate opinion
: Mr.. Sweetinan's idea is TO bring about
cessation OF bloodshed in the hope OF
attaining an atmosphere which will be
better suited for political negotiations
which are considered Impossible as long
as the extremists on both sides OF the
controversy are swaying affairs.
The uncompromising opposition or in
difference OF southern Ireland toward
the home rule bill has been markedly
affected by the amendments IN the
House OF Lords. according to the Dub
lin correspondent of the London Times.
The modcrates of all parties admit that
the substitution of joint sessions Of the
northern and southern Senates for a
council in Ireland has improved the out
look. the council having been one OF the
most unpopular features Of the bill
II the Government concurs in the
Lords amendments and also improves
the financial provisions Of the bill. the
correspondent adds. moderate Irish opln-
ion may be radically changed.
The London Times gives prominence
to the report that indirect negotiations
are proceeding between members OF the
Government and Sim Feiners. and says:
THE rumors seem not entirely base
less. though the precise character of the
negotiations. IL such they may be called,
can at present only be surmised. There
seems to be no doubt, adds the Times
that Arthur Henderson has Mt least an
informal mandate to explore the avenues
which might lead to Irish peace.
