Now Remains For Mr de Valera and British People To Come To Terms Regarding Area Outside
 of Ulster.
negotiations

London-The Irish negotiations have taken an unexpected develop ment Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, leaving for Belfast, made an important statement which appears to forbid any hope of assembling con ference such as Premier Lloyd George proposed between himself, MT. de Va lera and the Ulster premier.
 The Ulster leader maintains that the Sim Feiners by contesting the elections for the northern Parliament on a platform of mo partition" in which they were roundly defeated have recognized Listers claim to self determination, and so far as his words have been interpreted for the present he seems to wash his hands of any further participation in the peace ne gotiations. Sir James saidI
 T return home well satisfied with the efforts being made toward peace MT. de Valera has broken his silence and cleared the ground by his state. ment to the press that he proposes rc found his claim on recognition of the right of self-determination."
 The Ulster premier contended that the people of northern Ireland in the recent elections determined, their own Parliament by an overwhelming majority. No partition" in fact was the only issue placed before the electorate, he said, and 1t was reject ed by the largest majority ever ob tained in any general election.
 Such being the true facts,' he said, it now only remains for Mir. de Valera and the British people to como to terms regarding the area outside of that of which am prime minister The people of northern Ireland make no claim whatever to determine tho terms of settlement with Grea Britain shall make sith souern Ire land.
 When this is accomplished cur promise cordial cooperation on equa terms with southern Ireland in an, matters affecting our common in terest.
 Having reached the presen stage, I return to Ireland to carry ol the practical work of the government I feel that our interests are ably rep resented in the imperial parliamen and of course our services are availa ble at any moment"

LAPS ACCEPT ONLY
 PART OF PROGRAM
ARE NOT WILLING TO CONFER ON THE PROBLEMS OF
 THE FAR EAST.

Washington. = Japan has come or. ly half way in responding to President Harding's invitation for her participa- ton in the proposed international con- ference at Washington on limitation of ornaments and Pacific and Far Eastern problems which menace peace.
 Responding to this governments proposal. the Japanese government says that 1t would be delighted to participate in the conference on limi- tation of armaments and stopped there. Japan. according to the State Department, was silent on the other phase of discussion, which is regard ed by the United States and the other nations to participate as of the most vital importance.
 Limitation of armaments. it is agreed, must be contingent upon ad- justment of the problems of the Pa cific and the Far East. If Japan is going to rebel against consideration Of these issues there may be serious breakers ahead for the world states men who are about to enter the Wash ington conference with high hopes of reducing the expensive armaments of the world.
 The president and Secretary Hughes are known, however, to be confident that Japan eventually will agree to participate in the whole pro. gram. So confident are they that they are ignoring Japan's failure to re- spond to the second section of the American invitation and it was an nounced that the official call for the conference would be issued by the president in the near future, probably within two weeks. China, the last of the powers to be heard from, replied favorably and unqualifedly.
 The State Department made it clear, although not publishing the text of Japan's reply, that the re- sponse did not express any "unwill. ingness to participate in considera- tion of Eastern questions.
 Notwithstanding the optimism Of the administration, the reply from Japan is regarded as significant in some quarters here But even those who believe that Japan may insist upon stipulations or qualifications be. fore agreeing to participate in the whole program outlined by the presi- dent, do not think that she can long stand out against Great Britain. France, Italy and the United States. Great Britain with the Anglo-Japa- nese alliance hanging in the balance. has formidable weapon of influence oyer the Far Eastern nation.

 Governor Strong of the New York reserve bank and representatives of certain New York member banks at- tending the conference said it was their opinion the proposed establish ment of fund by various commer. eial banks for making loans on cotton was neither necessary nor adyisa ble' at this time The statement is- sued by the conference said:
 Tn view of the vital importance of the problems incident to the har- yesting and marketing of the coming cotton crop, the Federal Reserve banks of Richmond, Atlanta. St. Louis, Kansas City and Dallas. the banks located in or brought in clos est touch with the member banks in the cotton states, for the purpose of reviewing the credit situation in these states and determining what further credit will be needed to facilitate the harvesting and orderly marketing of this crop.
