COLLAPSE Of
IRISH PEACE
CONF FERENCE
NEAR, ADMIT 7
Leaders Of All Factions
Say Only Miracle Can
Avert Break And Re-
newal Of Warfare
IRepubIican A. p. Leased wire1

LONDON, Nov 30-An govern
nent business is giving way to the
sravity of the Irish situation. Both
government and Irish circles express
the feeling that only a miracle can
avert collapse of the conference and
renewal of warfare
It has been intended to hold a cabf-
net council tonight to consider Ger
man reparations, but this was post
poned to permit the special cabinet
committee dealing with Irish affairs
TO assemble Lord Birkenhead, due
to speak at a political meeting in
Liverpool. was obliged to stay in
London He sent a message OK apol-
ogy explaining that his absence was
ewing to grave public affairs"
\ spokesman of the Sim Fein de-
olared that there was no intention
by The Sim Fein to alter its attitude
Upwards either the unity of Ireland
or allegiance to the crown. Repre-
sentatives of the Sim Fein denied
the statement of a London paper that
the Sim Fein had consented to agree
&c a plan whereby Ulster could con-
tract with an all-Ireland parliament
retaining her existing rights until, or
unless she changes her mind; to form
an. allegiance, which ought to pe
satisfactory TO any British minister
Who is not purely a Journalist; to the
appointment of a boundary commits
sion to delimit the present political
snd religious frontier of Ulster, IN
oAdsr to distribute the populations
bstween the north and the south, on a
ncEe satisfactory basis.H
Premier Coming 10 America
Regarding the suggestion that the
government will propose a new
scheme to Ulster, Sim F'ein delegates
say they are not concerned with il
and refused TO share the govern
ment's responsibility for it. There
was another session this evening of
British delegates but nothing was
forthcoming as result of it.
whatever the result, Mr.. Lloyd
George will go to Washington" one
official stated.
II was stated at Sim Fein head
quarters that such a move by the
premier would not be viewed with
patience or without suspicion, for the
reason that if Irish American sup
port was weakened in consequence of
the premierS visit, the Sim F'ein
might be forced to modify it's de-
mand. on which it feels now in po-
Sitiou TO persist.
The impossibility of maintaining
the truce long after the breakdown
Of the conference is realized. The
view expressed by Sim Feiners is
that there would be no formal de-
nunciation of the truce but it would
quickly decay" 1t is pointed out
that such provocative acts on both
sides as have been occurring recent
II in Ireland would probably be- re-
Earded as definite breaches of the
truce and cause its speedy collapse,
II it were not for the fact that the
conference still has being.
