The premier had made no public
statement to this effect but his po-

quoted as communicating the re-
pert to inquiries as if publicity was
not desired
Everywhere it was admitted to-
day that the Irish negotiations had
made little progress. and although
hope had not been relinquished,
there was a tendency to regard the
outlook as being less favora BILE
