concerning the successful conclusion
Of negotiations between the British
government and Sim Fein ireland
was felt here today The conference
b. tween members OF the British cab
met and representatives az the Dali
Eireann was resumed. but there was
evident a feeling that the situation
was such as to give ground for con-
ceru among those hopeful for an ad-
justnent Of the Irish controversy.
Michael Collins. minister Of finance

went 70 Dublin on Saturday, returned
here last night 1t was understood
that Prime Minister Lloyd George had
laid before the Irish delegates certain
questions affecting Irish allegiance to
the British crown, and there was a
belief that Mr.. Collins had gone TO
Dublin to talk the situation over with
his colleagues.
1t was supposed he brought a. COM
municiation from Eamon De Valera
and it was felt that upon this answer
and the attitude taken by the Dali
Eireann delegates would depend the
continuance Of the negotiations.

how a ruptpre OF the conference was
