IS NEARER
THAN EVER IN
PAST 25 YEARS
General Jan Smuts Is
Center of Interest by
Reason. of Activity.
Real Obstacles Will Be
Met When Confer
ence Is Under Way.

london, July 7.-(Canadian Press).
The conference of empire prime
ministers for the present, is eclipsed
by the peace negotiations with the
Sinn. Fein leaders. Premier Jan Chris
tian SHUTS of South Africa, has thrown
the full weight of his eloquence and
his prestige on the side of settle
ment. The British press, of all shades
of politics, is standing behind him, and
this, aided by the favorable atmos-
phere created by the presence of the
dominion prime ministers here has, it
is believed, brought the Irish problem
near to solution than it has been in
a quarter of century.
Vast difficulties still stand in the
way of an agreement. Thus far. Pre-
mier Smuts has been successful, but
the real obstacles will be encountered
when the three parties to the dispute
the British government, North us
ter and the Sim Fein-meet face to
face in conference.
De Valera May Change.
From an Irish Nationalist source
closely in touch with Premier SHUTS
and the British government in the ne
gotiation proceedings, it is learned
what Eamonn De Valera is likely to
propose in the event of his coming to
London. It is declared he will aban-
don the claim for an Irish republic,
but will insist on a measure of domin-
ion home rule, with a separate par
lament for North Ulster invested with
powers similar to those enjoyed by
Canadian provincial legislatures. He
will also ask that the central or Dub
lin parliament be vested with a wide
measure of fiscal autonomy.
The Sim Fein leader, it is said. de-
sires also that the Irish parliament
shall have the right of controlling its
own army and navy, if these should be
found necessary. He will demand that
the Irish control the police and post
office departments and will ask for full
recognition Of the unity of the Irish |
nation.
Frame Own Tax Laws.
Mr.. de Valera will maintain that
the Irish parliament should be given |
the right to decide its own taxation |
policy and the manner in which the |
revenue shall be expended, holding |
that the power of controlling the tax !
the parliament.
This would involve giving Dublin q
free voice in regard to income tax,
customs and excise and also the right
of Withholding any contribution towards
the defense Of the empire.
Premier Lloyd George, it is almost
certain, would insist upon an imperial
contribution, because the imperial par
lament would remain responsible for
defense and foreign affairs, although
be might agree that the Irish parlia-
ment would have some voice in the
amount to be contributed
While anxious to go as far as pos
sible in placating the south, British
statesmen are equally anxious to see
that the northern minority will be af
forded all possible rights. Sir James
Craig, premier of Ulster, will enter the
conference, provided one is held, under
restrictions, just as de Valera will
be hampered by certain limi
tations.

NO PROGRESS is MADE
THURSDAY, LONDON REPORT

London, July 7.-(By The Associat-
ed Press. 1.-THE Irish peace movement
on the surface made no further pro-
gress Thursday, but hopes remain high,
mainly because General SHUTS, premier
of South Africa, is taking such an ac-
tive part in the negotiations with an
evident purpose to translate into prac
tical policies the kings message and
exhortation for forbearance at the
opening of the Ulster parliament.
The kings evident and serious in
terost in bringing about peace is also
a strong factor in the situation.
Repetition of 1919.
His proffer of Buckingham palace
for the meetings of the proposed CON
ference points in the direction of a
repetition of the peace effort of 1914.
when the home rule conference as
sembled in the palace under the chair
mansbip of the right Hon. James Will
liam Lowther, then speaker of the
house of commons.
1t is believed that if an independent
chairman were appointed to the con-
ference now contemplated, especially
General SHUTS, who is trusted by the
greater chance of Mr.. de Valera ac-
cepting the conference. 1t is probable
that nothing will develop definitely
pending the Dublin conference between
the Irish republican leader and the
southern unionists. General SHUTS
will not attend this conference.

Fortunate indeed for those attending, the method of payment was two cents per inch around the waist on entering the hall. One can hardly condone this lack of money instinct on the part of the ladies in this mater ialistic age, for had they ask ed payment after the lunch was served, the grasping money-lender would never have been able to foreclose on the old homestead. Old fashioned dances only, walt zes, schottishe, quadriIle and others used by the Indians in the early days were twirl- ed by the enthusiasts.
