Irish Negotiations Suspended.

TOR the time being negotiations between the
r British prime minister and Mr. De Valera and
his associates have been suspended while the
offer which made by the British government is
being discussed by the Sim Fein cabinet The terms
of this offer have not been revealed and the attitude
of the Southern Irish leaders is unknown. The Irish
Bulletin which is the official organ of the Dali Eireann
has evnced annoyance at the attitude of certain
British papers and has declared that absolute freedom
is the only settlement which be acceptable to
the Irish nation. In spite of this the feeling of op
timism prevails. Cen Smuts has made arrangements
to return to South Africa, and It is believed that
unless the negotiations moving forward his de-
parture would be delayed. In the course of dis
cussion in the House of Commons on the adjourn
ment of Parliament, which Is set for August 26, Mr.
Chamberlain, the government leader, stated that in
a settlement reached it was the plan Of
the government to have Parliament reassemble the
latter part of November the first of December to
enact legislation put the settlement into effect He
stated further that the would undoubtedly
be able to make definite announcement the
progress of negotiations before Parliament pro-

ference which should embrace only disarmament,
but discussion of Pacific and Far Eastern questions,
came a reply to a memorandum of the State De-
partment in which it set forth that the Secre-
tary of State would be willing to proceed with ex-
changes of opinion regarding the agenda before the
meeting of the conference but that he considered it
desirable that the full and open acceptance of the in
vitation by the Japanese government should precede
these exchanges. In its reply the Japanese govern
ment expressed its willingness accept invitation
under these conditions. 1t made the suggestion, how
ever, that in order to insure the of the
ference the agenda should not permit the introduction
of problems which the sole concern OF particular
powers of matters which may be regarded
complished facts This sggestion doubtless refers to
matters which are at issue between Japan and the
United States and which, in the of Yap and
Shantung, considered by Japanese officials to
have been settled at Versailles.
1t announced at the State Department that nations
other than the five already approached might be invited to
take part in the> conference Although nations we're
named Belgium and the Netherlands are doubtless the
states referred to- both deeply interested in the dis
armament question and the Dutch have great deal
at stake in the Pacific ....
