NEGOTIATIONS IN
REPORT.

LONDON. July 1s.-Irish negot.a-
tions appear to have reached a dead
lock insofar as they concern a tri-
rartite conference between David
Lloyd Gorge. the British premier;
Eamonn De Valera, the Irish Repub-
lican leader. and Sir James Craig.
premier of Ulster. This developed
late last night when Sir James. as he
departed for Belfast, issued a state
ment on the subject of "self-deter-
mi~nation." which is interpreted to
mean that he will not compromise on
any matters pertaining to listers
political rights.
While the statement has made a
deep impression upon political circles
in many quarters 1t is not accepted as
final, and hope is expressed that the
negotiations for uch a conference are
not yet ended.
The Ulster premier's statement said
that he was returning home well
satisfied with the forts being made
toward peace" and that Mr.. De Va
Terra "has broken his silence and
cleared the ground by his statement
to the press that he proposes to found
his claim on recognition of the right
of seif-deternination."

NO OPEN RUPTURE
IN PEACE Farley
Return to Belfast of
Sir James No Sign
of Break

F July 19.-(By
The Associated Press.)-The
return to Belfast of Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier, and
the members of his cabinet
from London, must not be
taken as a rupture of the negotiations.
1t was declared today by Colonel
Spender. secretary of the peace dele
cation. on Its arrival here. II is
thought that the delegation will be re-
called to London next week. he de
clared.
None of the cabinet members would
have anything to say for publication.
Eamonn De Valera is regarded by
the Ulster Unionists as n visionary.
and the feeling in Unionist circles here
is that no discussions among all the
parties concerned in the Irish settle
mem will be possible until he
considerably modifies his position.
When Sir James Craig saw the Re
publican leader in Dublin before the
recent Irish parliamentary election
the Ulster premier is declared in
Unionist quarters to have heard a
long discussion on an Irish republic,
and Unionists here expressed belief to-
day that Mr.: De Valera had; expressed
himself similarly in hts interviews
with Premier Lloyd George.
The attitude OF the Ulster premier
and his colleagues. as expressed by Sir
James IN his statement made in Lon.
don last night In which he declared
Ulster vas determined to maintain her
present status. with her own parlia,
ment is cordially approved by the Bcr
fast Unionists in genera.
There was never n other out.
come Of the negotiations possible, :
says the Belfast Newsletter. except
in the minds of those who would have
sacrificed US on the altar Of a false
peace. We shall have nothing to do
with any settlement terms that in
fringe upon or diminish the status of
parliament and we base that atti-
tude on the same ground as De Va
lera makes his claim to self-determina-
ton"
