The full text of the letters Of
the British and Ulster premiers
will be found on Page 2.

Premier Lloyd George Tuesday gave
out the correspondence exchanged be-
tween himself, as head of the gov
ernment, and Sir James Craig, deal
ing with the Irish negotiations. These
letters bore dates of from November
10 to December 5. They were sup
pemented later by letter made pub
lie by Sir James addressed to the pre-
mier under date Of July 90 which he
said was necessary to maintain the
sequence of events.
The Ulster premier in these letters
unequivocally declared Ulster would
not enter an all-Ireland parliament,
but was willing to accept three out of
the four proposals of the British gov
ernment.
Gave Ulster Chance
Mr.. Lloyd George argued that two
dominions in Ireland was indefensible.
Eventually two alternatives We're Of
fered to Ulster, the one that she re-
tains her existing powers, with addi-
tional guarantees if she entered the
Irish free state; the other that she
retain her present powers, but in re-
spect to all other matters not already
delegated to her, share the rights and
obligations Of Great Britain, with the
proviso, however, in the latter case,
that her boundary would be subject
to revision.

Fears Packer Control
of Foodstuff Lines
IF Decree Altered

Washington, Dec Rehabilitation
of the packer consent decree as propos-
ed to allow the five big packers to
handle unrelated lines, would lead, in
the opinion of the federal trade com
mission, to dominate the country's food
supplies by the five companies.
Views Of the commission were pre-
sented by w. Y. Durant, it's assistant
chief economist, to the interdepart-
mental board conducting hearings on
the advisability of modifying the decree
under which the big five packers were
ordered to divorce themselves from all
activities except the butchering and
handling of meat and similar products.
Mr.. Durant declared that the consent
decree had failed of its purpose to re-
store competition in the handling of
foodstuffs as the packers were still
permitted to deal in some lines and he
asserted modification would enable them
to attain their goal' of domination of
all the food placed on the American
table.

May Ask Hardings's
Help in Solving
European Problem

London, Dec. l3.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. .)-Rum0rs of the pos
sibiIity Of an international economic
conference In Washington which
have been current during the last
few days were the subject of COM
ment in the London morning news
papers Tuesday.
Connected with the rumors are
more or less vague reports that
Prime Minister Lloyd George and
Premier BRAND of France intend to
90 to Washington together after
the French premier's visit here
next week.
The Daily Mail claims to have
received official information from
Downing street that Mr.. Lloyd
George is unlikely to go to America
for some months, but instead plans
taking a vacation trip to southern
France after the coming parliament
session. On the other hand, the
Times says:
"The suggestion is hazarded that
after next weeks conference with
M. BRAND, Mr.. Lloyd George might
not deem the moment In0pportune
to lay the whole question of the
needs OF shattered Europe before
President Harding. who has un-
doubtedly the Warmest sympathy
for the stricken continent"
Ii is believed in any case that
the conversations between the
British and French premiers next
week will take wider range than
German reparations.

CHINA D|SGUSTED
WITH PROGRESS ON
SHANTUNC DISPUTE
Question of Restoration of Rail-
way Rights Halts Oriental
Settlement.

Washington, Dec. 13.-(By The AS
sociated Press l.-Some difficulties are
believed to have been encountered Tues
day at the conference between the Chi
nese and Japanese delegates concerning
the question of restoration to China OF
the Kiao Chow Tsinan Fu railway, the
most important of all subjects being
considered in the attempt to settle the
Shantung controversy by "conversa-
tons"
Chinese Detected
The Chinese delegates left the con-
ference room in an apparent attitude
of detection, one of them saying:
"We did not make the progress we
should have, and do not understand the
Japanese position
It is believed that the crux of the
difficulty encountered revolves about
the question of security that China
would be able to give in carrying out
her offer to purchase the railroad and
it's adjacent mines. Japan's position is
said to be that she is ready to listen
to any plan Of Chinese payment, but is
particularly anxious to determine the
kind of securities China would be will
ing to propose.
May Take Bonds
There have been indications that
Japan might be satisfied with an issue
of bonds by China, unless there was
some definite guarantee behind the
bonds as, for instance, a security based
upon the future profits of the railway
or some other form of Chinese revenue.
1t was believed Tuesday night that
if the difficulty over the method of the
repurchase and it's connection with
China's financial position could be over
come, japan would not insist on her
original proposal for joint Chino
Japanese management Of the railroad.
