Nothing Short of Miracle
Can Avert a Collapse
Of Negotiations, the
Officials Say.
SIM FEN STAND
FIRM ON DEMAND
Want All-Ireland Parliament
and Refuse Allegiance
to the British.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The possibility
of renewed bloodshed in ireland con-
fronts the British Isles in consequence
Of virtual collapse of the peace nego-
tiations which have proceeded under
a truce for the last five months.
The Sim Fein has stood firm on It's
demand for an all-Ireland parliament
as the basis Of settlement, at the
same time refusing to concede alleg-
lance to the British.
The latest plan, that of an all.Irish
parliament under which Ulster might
retain her existing rights until or
unless she changed her mind has
failed with the formal statement by
the Sim Fein delegations here that
II cannot be considered
As a result in both government and
irish circles the opinion is express
ed that nothing short o. miracle
can avert collapse Of the negotiations
and resumption of the warfare in Ire
land. The government heads are bend
ing their entire efforts in seeking
some unexplored avenue in negotia-
ton AS TO how long the truce will
last under present conditions there IS
no Indication.
