For North Ireland
PARLEYS NEAR CLIMAX
Lloyd George May Resign if
Settlement Is Not Agreed
On During This Week

LONDON, Nov. z. (By the Asso-
ciated Press.) Discussions OF an
Irish settlement are nearing a climax.
After a long conference with Lloyd
George today, Sir James Craig, Ulster
premier, summoned members of his
cabinet from Belfast for meeting
here TO consider proposals made by
the British government.
Members of the Ulster cabinet who
will come include John Milne Bar
bour, Marquis of Londonderry; U. N.
Andrews, Z. A. Archdale and Thomas
Moles. chairman of the committee OF
the Ulster parliament.
The official announcement also
states that there would be a further
conference with Lloyd George Thurs
day.
The Irish situation, it was admitted
in official circles, is in an extremely
critical stage. 1t understood that
the Ulster premier informed Lloyd
George that he could not possibly
think of shouldering the responsible
ty of accepting the proposals made to
him by the premier and would be
compelled to consult his colleagues.
ENcTytillHS, IL Is Sdlu, ueDefuS Oh
Thursdays meetings, and. If the u
ster representatives reject the COM
promise proposals. it is regarded as
possible Lloyd George will carry out
his threat to resign.
o. According to agency reports, the Sc
rious official view regarding nego-
tiations is due to the stiff attitude
taken by the Ulster premier in his
interview with the premier. Sir
James is represented as intimating
his firm determination to MAINTAIN
listers position. and he is said to
have signified that in his opinion the
proposals which Lloyd George submit.
ted to him seriously imperhed the
rights of northern Ireland. In any
case, he would concede nothing on
his own responsibility.
The opinion was expressed in VI
ster quarters that the British gov
ernment, having dealt with one side
only, had reached false estimate OF
the realities of the situation.

HE KILLED HARA
I O.SkvE JAPAN
Youth Declares He Followed
Premier Many Days Before
Crime Was Committed
NO SUCCESSOR CHOSEN
Simplicity Marks Funeral of
Slain Statesman; Body Is
Viewed by Thousands

TOXIC, Nov. 7.-(By the Associat-
ed Press)-The confession of Ryichi
Nakoka, assassin of Premier Hara,
shows that the killing had long been
premeditated. The censorship placed
on details of the attack and motives
for the assassination was partially
lifted today.
Nakoka had been shadowing the
rremier seeking a chance to stab him
whenever Hara left the station. He
"lwavs met with failure, however, ow-
ing to the strict police guard. In his
confession, Nakoka says he purchas-
ed the dagger he used last summer,
and that since then he had awaited
the right moment.
The most reliable newspapers here
say Nakoka had no accomplices.
Police have found, according to the
Nichi Nichi, that the assassin had
been inspired to commit the deed
through his interest in politics and
association with his superior, F. Hash
imoto, the assistant station master at
the Otsuka railway station, who also
has been arrested. Hashimoto, it is
alleged. INDUCED in severe, criticism
of policies of Premier Hara. Refer
ing in the presence. of Nakoka to the
thrilling deeds of the so-called politi-
cal martyrs whose names were 'Sa-
cred in the history of the Meiji res
toration," Hashimoto is declared to
have expressed regret over the disap-
pearance of the Samurai and to have
declared that the youths were coward
" and that they could not be expect
ed to commit harakiri.
Notebook Is Examined
But l shall be an exception" Ma
koka is said to have exclaimed. 81
shc.'l commit harakiri," meaning the
killing of Premier Hara.
On September 8, Nakoka purchas
ed dagger. Since, he declared, he
had studied the most effective means
of being able to use it.
An extract of a notebook of Mako
ka by the police is declared to read
September 1. l wait to see when
my name will be published in promi
nence in all newspapers"
Then in the notebook followed thu
addresses of the residences of the
premier.
According to the police, Nakoks
said:
1T was a great mistake for Hars
to remain in office, disregarding pub
! lie opinion. ] know it was a great
crime for a young man, but | have
done it because ! love my country.
