LONDON, Oct. s.-The Irish peace

Immediately. There will be no at

Issues of the crisis. Instead, the con-

stages of the parley. there is little

The first few hours, naturally, will
be given over to consideration of the

prepared by the British government.
After this the ncSotiators will sweep
aside all minor questions for consid-
Grafton OF the three main phases Of
the arguments. which arc:
First-Alleged breaches oe the
truce in Ireland by Sim Fein's army.
Second-Ireland's alleCiance tn the
crown.
Third-Ireland's unity. involving

continues after the Governmen, and
the Irish leaders have exchanged their
views on all or any one OF these ques-
tions, it Will he safe to assume that
i-ioyu Georges peace move has moro
than a fair chance of success.
The governments charges regard
ing lrcland's alleged breaking OF the
truce. which has been effective since
July, but which lately has suffered a
relaxation on both sides, involve
continued drilling OF the Republican
army, kidnapping of prominent Brit
ish civil and military officers, con-
hicts with crown forces. the COM
Wandering of private houses for use
as barracks. and the continued boy

government officials say, jeopardize
the success OF the coming conference.
Assurances that the truce will be
kept they declare. must come from
the Irish delegation.
The second point means that the
irish ncgotiators must understand at
the outset that no discussion OF Ire
land's severance from the empire Will
be entertained by the government
There have Eeen recent intimations
that the Sim Fein delegates arc apt
to inject this question.
Hopes for Succens.
In the meantime, certain Irish elc-
ments, as well as some OF the Eng
lish, arc showing increased insist
cnce that the political prisoners now
interned in British camps in ireland,

chief censor in Ireland. is one Of
those strongly urging release OF pris-
