HERE ARE ISSUES THAT KEPT WATERS HOT
 FOR BRITTSH-IRISH NEGOTIATORS OF PEACE

fused to concede that point as, he said, it would constitute a recogni- ton at the very outset of Ireland's claims for separation from the Brit ish empire.
 This obstacle was overcome by the two parties agreeing upon Lloyd Georges formula that the purpose of the conference should be to as certain how Ireland's association with the empire might be best reconciled with Ircland's national aspirations.
 Under that formula, meetings have been in progress since early October. The proceedings have been secret. It has been reported, however, that British representatives submitted a plan to give Ireland status of "as- sociation" with the empire and to al low her an almost complete measure of self-government to be exercised by separate parliaments in Ulster and south Ireland, respectively, and by a central council jointly chosen.
 This brought Ulster again into the negotiations and compelled Premier Lloyd George to defer his trip to the Washington conference on limitation of armament so that he could devote his time to an effort to overcome Listers hesitation or objection to CO., operate with the south of Ireland in any form of common government.
 The general understanding was that the sim fein delegates insisted that there must be no partition of Ire land into the north and south with different forms of government and different relations to the empire.
 To reconcile these conflicting view points, Lloyd George invited Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, to come to London in the first week in November, to talk things over. The situation was so delicate that Sir James desired the support and advice of other Ulster leaders and finally all the members of the Ulster cabinet were called to London. Uninist opin- ion in England has been steadfactly against any "coercion of Ulster It was generally conceded that one of the most difficult stages of the nego- tiations had been reached.

WALTER ALTON UNDER ARREST.
 LOS ANGELES

At the end of five-day journey across Arizona and southern Cali
 fornia, following a hurried flight from Prescott last Wednesday night,
 Walter H. Alton, former proprietor .of the Arizona Garage here, accused by Mrs Mary Rohpeter of swindling her out of nearly $8,5OO, is under ar rest in Los Angeles.
 This was learned yesterday in telegram from Chief of Police Chas. A. Jones of the southern California .city to Sheriff Warren c. Davis. The sheriff's office immediately wired to Chief of Police Jones tele- graphic warrant for Alton's arrest on felony charge of obtaining money by fraudulent representation, upon complaint preferred last week by Mrs. Rohpeter.
 Alton is being held in the Los An gees city jail pending securing of extradition papers from state authori- ties at Phoenix and dispatching of Yavapai county officer to bring him back to face trial u Prescott.
 The sheriff's office. it was learned yesterday. has been kept informed of the movements of Alton since he left this city, and has had information out for his arrest in the principal southern California cities. He left Prescott early last week with Otto Nennowitz, travelling in a Cadillac automobile and red Cadillac truck. At a point 5 miles west of Selig- man, the truck broke down, and AL ton returned to Prescott. He left this city again last Wednesday night, picked up the truck and proceeded on his way.
 A wire from Sheriff Mahoney at Kingman informed the officers that Alton had passed Topoc on Thurs day. A letter written by Nennowitz from Ash Fork to a friend in this city, and a postal card from Needles were turned over by Nennowitz's friend to the authorities.
 Nennowitz, it was learned yester- day, accompanied Alton in the hope of securing payment of debt Of $l ,0O0 the other is said to have owed him, and was going to his home in Pomona. Alton had made out to Nennowitz a bill of sale to the Cad lilac truck, and told him if he want ed his money to go along with him to Los Angeles, where the truck could be sold and Nennowitz could secure his money. The truck, Chief of Police Jones advised the sheriff's office, is being held in Los Angeles under attachment to satisfy another debt of Alton's.
 It was known by the authorities, they said, that Alton was heading for Los Angeles. Two boxes, osten- sibly containing automobile accessor. ies, were shipped late last week to Los Angeles, at the address of Mrs. Alton's mother.
 It is also said that a man named Lynch, a former employe of Alton at the Arizona Garage, now living in Pasadena. kept track of Mrs. Roh- peter's movements and notified AL ton last Wednesday that she had started for Prescott. thus giving AL ton time to leave the city
 The sheriff's office yesterday no- tified Chief of Police Jones to let the truck go under attachment. Ex tradition papers now in process of will be taken to Phoenix for requisition, following Which of- ficers will go to Los Angeles after Alton.

The big questions at issue between the British government and the rep resentatives of the Irish republican parliament have been:
 Shall Ireland become entirely inde- pendent or, if it remain within the British empire, shall there be two stLarate governments in Ireland. one for Ulster and one for the rest of 1the country?
 Prime Minister Lloyd George has refused to consider any proposal which would put Ireland outside the empire.
 The sim feiners refused to admit that Ireland should be split in two parts
 Ulster refused to unite in one in enc parliament with the sim fein- CTS. It has organized a parliament of its own under the government of Ireland act.
 The sim feiners refused to set up a parliament for the south of Ire land, as proposed in that act They adhered to their own Irish parlia- ment, called the dail eireann, which they had set up independently as the governing body of the Irish republic
 That was the situation when the truce began last July, after King George had made a conciliatory speech at the opening of the new parliament in Ulster.
 The purpose of the negotiations now in progress, as defined by Lloyd George and accepted by the sim fein representatives is "to ascer- tain how the association of Ireland with the community of nations known as the British empire may be best Ireconcilcd with Irish national aspira- tions
 The conferences began in July. Both sides have at times entertained higher hopes of a final and satisfac- tory settlement probably than at any time since the Irish question became "a thorn in the side of the British empire, but there have been several crises when the negotiations seemed doomed to failure
 The first of these occurred when Lloyd George offered to de Valera at consultation in London form of self-government ill Ireland something like that prevailing in the British dominions. The dail eireann utterly rejected this proposal on the ground that it did not afford even genuine dominion rule. For time it seemed that deadlock had been reached.
 Lloyd George endeavored to re- sume negotiations but this move seemed likely to be baked by de Va lera's insistence that the Irish dele gates to such a conference must be accepted as having derived their au- thority from a free and independent Ireland. The British premier re-

In the absence of an indication of the Ameri- can viewpoint the impression is gain ed by the other delegates that the are feeling their way eau tiously as they seek to ascertain what course would be in accord with opinion.

ULSTER POSITION NOT KNOWN IN ADVANCE

The position of Ulster is less certain. Evidence comes from Bel fast that the treaty will be sub jected to the most searching ex- animation and many mcdifications may be proposed.
 The king hasIened to send the premier a telegram congratulating him on the success of the nego- tiatiens.
 The treaty was signed by all members of the Irish delegation participating, the Irish delegates signing their Gaelic names. PROVIDE FOR LISTERS IN PACT
 Ireland is treated as a single entity in the treaty with special clauses providing against the pos sibility that Ulster should refuse acquiesccnce in the settlement in which case the government of Ire land act of 1920 will remain in force so far as the northern parlia- ment is concerned but with the stipulation that a special commis- sion shall determine new boun, diaries for northern Ireland.
 Provisions also are made for the cooperation of the two parliaments in providing certain safeguards in the event of Ulster remaining out of the free state. Neither parlia- ment, however, will be permitted to make laws endowing any par ticular religion or to impose any religious disability.
 IRISH OBLIGATIONS RUN TO MILITARY
 The treaty looks to Ireland in the future to undertake its own coastal defense and provides that Ireland shall during war give the British forces necessary harbor and other facilities. It further recog- nizes the Irish free states right to maintain its own military defense force

 Presentation later of more detailed views on the shipping situation was promised by the president in dec!ar ing he opposed abrogation of com mercial treaties provided by the Jones act. A suggestion for a plan of reimbursement to ship opera tors was accepted as an advance statement of his previously an nounced views as to ship subsidies. SHOOT URGES SPRING TARIFF
 Legislation to meet the presidents recommendations for a flexible tariff was also proposed immediately by Senator Shoot, republican, of Utah.
 The president also emphasized the need for agricultural relief He urged that improved methods of dis tribution and marketing of farm pro ducts be provided, advocating legis- lative assistance to cooperative mar keting. Railroad freight rates, he added, were subject of just com plaint by farmers.

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 10 The
United States is passing through the
most severe agriculture depression in
its history, Secretary Wallace of the
agricultural department declared in
an address today before the Boston
chamber of commerce.
Asserting that prices of major farm
crops were lower than at any time in
the nations experience, Secretary Wal
lace predicted that decreased produc-
ton would result in prices $50 high
that city consumers will complain
bitterly, for the farmer cannot con-
tlnue to produce at loss"
This condition is undermining agri-
culture, the base of the pyramid
which represents our national life "
Mr. Wallace said, adding that the first
task OF the country was to bring agri-
culture through this critical period
with the least possible damage"
The industrial east, Secretary Wal
lace declared, may feel the need of a
sympathetic and thoroughly efficient
agriculture sooner than is realized
since the billions of dollars which we
have loaned to Europe must be paid
not in gold but in goods which com
pete with our own manufactures and
which are produced at a cost far be.
