CHEERS HAIL PREMlER'S
EXPRESSION OF HOPE

LONDON, Nov. 10 (Assoclated Press).
Prime Minister Lloyd George ex-
pressed confidence in the House OF Com
mons to-day that the Sim Fein nego-
tiators were doing all they could to see
that tho terms Of the truce In Ireland
were observed. He reiterated his hope
that the Irish negotiations would prove
successful.
With regard TO violations Of the truce,
as to which he also was queried, he
said: II view with grave concern
breaches of the truce that occur in
ireland. They are at once taken up
through the machinery established for
the purpose, and we are satisfied that
the representatives OF the Sim F'ein,
with whom we are negotiating, are doing
their best to secure observance of the
terms of the truce"
In reply to a question as to whether
adequate arrangements had been made
for the protection of Ulster and the loyal
population Of southern Ireland In the
event OF breakdown Of the negotiations,
Mr. Lloyd George replied:
TT has been agreed that II the nego-
tiations unhappily should break down
there would be a reasonable notice of
the termination of the truce and his
Majesty's Government would, Of course,
do all in their power to protect life and
property. 1t is not desirable to make
any statement regarding measures the
Government has taken and Is prepared
10 take. but that contingency, I hope.

The Evening Netcs describes the con-
dition OF the Ulster delegation as think
ing harder than they are dying" to-
night. If they refuse to agree to a set
tlement, the Cabinet Will sit tight and
possibly send Mr. Lloyd George on TO
Washington. leaving Ireland to stew in
her own juice, and the juice just now
consists in tightening the South's eco
nomic pressure against Ulster in a
fashion to make Ulster think even
harder than she is tonight.
Such process might lead to the out
break of real civil war. but better
opinion is that Mr.. Lloyd George will
stay here during the week or two neces-
sary to let the condition of things sink
in deep north OF the Boyne, meanwhile
exerting every possible influence TO pre-
vent outbreaks OF violence either in the
North or in the South. And best opinion
is that Ulster VIII accept the Cabinets
reasonable programme. and with the
broad principles agreed to. Mr.. Lloyd
George can safely leave here for Wash

details of the scheme here.

The saving OF German industries after
the ruin Of Germany's finances, which
they believe imminent is the chief aim
OF Hugo SHINES and his friend, Herr
silverberg, according to Georg Bernhard
editor of the Vossische ZeitWng. AS to
the conference OF the National League OF
German Industry, just ended, Bernhard
insists that ii was SHINES who at the
last moment kept alive the scheme for
an external loan Of 1,000,000,000 marks
based on banking and industrial assets
by watering tho resolution adopted.
which. although it considerably reduces
the chances OF the success OF the loan,
still prevents q complete abandonment
OF the proposal.
On the other hand, Bernhard charac-
te!izes the motives and views of SHINES
in words which recall the campaign
against the German industrial leader at
the time Of the Spa conference, when
SHINES was accused of playing both
ends against the middle" with the idea
OF saving himself no matter what be-
came Of the country.
at would be wrong to doubt the good
Intentions of these men," Bernhard
writes. "They believe their efforts are
for the benefit OF all German business.
but with unfortunate and Incompetent
sible pessimisrn they insist that Ger
many is confessing her inability to pay
her war opponents. who will not be sat
isf1ed with this plea, but will enforce
economic or military guarantees which.
under certain conditions. might result In
the empire falling apart. In case Of
such an eventuality they believe that
German business at least must be safe
guarded.
'"rhey even believe If only tho large
concerns can maintain themselves that
these will gradually form the nucleus
for new political State. In fine, a
policy of catastrophe is alluring only to
the directors of these concerns"
Herr Bernhard deplored this policy
and expresses the conviction that il Ger
many collapses big business first will be
ruined. Also he rejoices that the Ma
tional League of German Industry has
not followed the leadership Of the indus-
trial "barons."

alton. with the object OF establishing
friendship and cooperation between my
people Of that country"
This was particularly addressed to the
Ulsterites who are now in London con-
sldering the Governments proposals for
the settlement of the century old prob
lem, in the opinion Of the politicians.
But all sections come within His Maj
esty's exhortation. and. 1t is pointed nut.
Sim Fein may read it with particular
interest and may object TO the Inference
that the dispute is between the two
parties In ireland and is not q dispute
between England and Ireland. which is
Sim Fein's contention.
After referring with satisfaction to the
work OF the Imperial conference, partic-
ulariy its deliberations with respect to
foreign policy, questions relating to the
Pacific and the Far East and the EN-
pires obligations under the treaty OF
Versailles and other peace treaties, the
King said: II am happy to know that
on all these issues my governments here
and oversee are In perfect accord. The
conference gave serious attention to the
defence OF the Empire and the mainte-
nance Of an adequate measure or sea
power. 1t was unanimously decided that
the naval strength of the Empire should
be equal to that OF any other Power.
'I have followed with great interest
the steps taken by the President of the
United States to promote the reduction
OF expenditure on armaments-an object
which commands the fullest sympathy OF
my Government" said the King in his
speech. "It was In this spirit that my
Government gladly accepted the invita-
tion extended by the United States Gov
ernment to the conference on disarma-
ment to be held in Washington. 1t is
my earnest hope that the labors OF the
conference win be crowned with sue
cess.

ment, these words are plainly addressed
TO Ulster. And the utterances Of the
Ulster spokesmen here to-day gave
plain evidence that they are feeling the
weight of that opinion which does not
want TO see n settlement of the seven
hundred year old tragedy postponed or
the empire plunged into fierce and
costly lnternicine war for the sake of
saving the faces Of politicians in the six
small counties Of northeast ireland.
Mr.. Lloyd George to-day again post
poned coming TO grips with the Ulster
Cabinet, giving as reason that he had
not yet had time to prepare detailed
statement of the situation. 1t gave the
Ulsterites time TO realize the situation
in which they stand. 1t Is now hoped
that they will meet Mr.. Lloyd George
tomorrow. though it was said the meet
ing cannot take place until Monday.
Their official statement to-day was com
fned to reciting that there was n meet
ing OF the Ulster Cabinet at 'he Savoy
Hotel and the reception OF Mr.. LLOYD
tieorge's apologies for the delay in con-
nection with the preparation OF 4 state
nent of the situation, and concluding
with the usual breath of fire:
THE Prime Minister OF Northern Ire
land on behalf of the Cabinet wiz .cs 1t
clearly understood that there can be iio
surrender OF listers rights"
Significant Statement.
But in addition to that official COM
nunique there came n significant state
n.ent from Tom Moies, Deputy Speaker
OF the Ulster Parliament and hitherto
one OF the hottest Ulster fire breathers,
that 1T is the duty OF everybody to be
optimistic in the fog" This was accom-
panied by carefully labored statement
from another member OF the Ulster dele
cation, explaining that listers stand
was not yet definitely taken on any
special point, and that they were wait
ing to see to what degree of unanimity
the British Cabinet was committed on
the proposals The same spokesman ac-
centuated the fact that Ulster was dis
turbed principally because in some quar-
ters the results of Mr.. Lloyd Georges
conference with Sim Fein were repre-
sented as settled conclusions upon which
Ulster was asked to act.
1--WE are willing to confer and are
about to do So" he said, "but there must
be an understanding that no a priori
basis has been reached. We will 20 into
the conference chamber on exactly the
same footing as the other parties to
examine equally with them suggestions
made, without earlier bias one way or
the other, with a view OF reaching if
possible n peaceful settlement"
This was the first hint from Ulster
quarters that peaceful settlement was
within the range of possibility. If it is
hint that is not fulfilled, prophets are
already busy showing Npw desperate
