Unconfrmed Reports
Show Cabinet Crisis

Belfast, July 19.-(By the Associat-
ed Press)-The return to Belfast OF
Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier
and the members of his cabinet who
have been with him in London In con-
nection with the Irish peace move
must not be taken as a rupture of the
negotiations, it was declared today by
Col. Spender, secretary of the delega-
ton. on its arrival here. 1t is thought,
indeed, that the delegation will be re-
called to London next week.
None Of the cabinet mem bers would
have anything to say for publication.
Can De Valera Visionary
Eamonn De Valera is regarded by
the Ulster unionists as a visionary and
the feeling in unionist circles is that
nodecisions among all the parties con-
cerned n the Irish settlement will be
possible until he considerably modif1es
his position.
When Sir James Craig saw the re-
publican leader in Dublin before the
recent Irish parliamentary elections
the Ulster premier is declared IN
unionist quarters to have heard long
disquisition on an Irish republic and
unionists have expressed belief today
that Mr.. De Valera had expressed HIM
self similarly in. his interviews with
Premier Lloyd George.
The attitude OF the Ulster premier
and his colleagues as expressed by
Craig in HIS. statement made in Lon
don last night in which he declared
Ulster was determined to maintain her
pi escnt status, with her own parlia-
lnent is cordially approved by the Bel
fast unionists in general sin indicat-
ed by their newspaper organs.
Newspaper Views
There was. never any other out
com OF the negotiations possible
says he Belfast News Letter except
ii minds of those who would sacrl-
Fl on he altar of a false peace. we
shall have nothing to do with any
settlement terms that infringe upon
or diminish the status of our parlia-
ment and we base that attitude on the
same ground. as Mr.. De Valera makes
his claim to self determination"
On the other hand the Irish News
which voices the views Of Joseph Dew
lin, nationalist. says:
IF the six specially chosen Ulster
counties are to self-determine them
selves into ruinous conflict with the
rest Of Ireland why deny the claim
of any county to 'self-determine itself
out Of association with secessionists
The claim insisted on by Sir James
Craig is on all fours with that put for
ward by the southern states of the
American republic so years ago. That
is true and exact parallel. The
formula that Ireland is like unto the
secessionist states has been abandon

OIL MACNATES OF EUROPE
 COM BIN E

London, Jan- 12-As a reply to American activity in the oil markets of France a new group of French and British oil magnets has been formed.
 The Anglo-Persian Oil Company, of which the British government holds a large number of shares, and a. French combine with a capital of $20,000,O00 in all, have formed a company for the importation into France of crude and refined oils and for the refining and distribution of gasoline.
 This Is taken to be a necessary corollary to the San Reno agreement between Britain and France regard ing the allocation of the Mes;opota- milan oil fields.
 By the new agreement the Anglo Persian Oil Company will obtain a new market for their oil and British industry is expected to benefit by the unanufa cturers of the necessary refin- ing plant. Oil tankers are already being built in British yards in con- nection with the scheme.
 The British government in 1914 subscribed for two million ordinary s5 shares in the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, $5000 worth of preference shares and also invested $1,0O0,GO0 in debenture stock. By this means the government secured controlling interest in the company. Last year when the, capital was increased, the British government was stated to have subscribed in its proportion.
