London Still Hopes Irish
Farley Will Be Renewed

LONDON, Sept. 25.-withfn the
week the question of whether there
Will be an Irish peace conference
or a return to former conditions
of active hostility will have been
decided.
Hope is still strong that the con-
ference will be held, in spite of the
somewhat dampening effect of a
weekend speech by Winston
Churchill, who declared that the
government will not yield an inch
on the supreme issue of Ireland's
allegiance to the King"
We have reached the end of our
tether," he declared, and our offer
goes to the utmost limits possible
If it is rejected, we have nothing
else to give"
Held ms semiOfficial.
The speech aroused the greatest
attention and was viewed in the
light of a semiOfficial statement
inasmuch as Churchill had just

TO discuss the actual status of the
delegates at the conference. The
date Of the proposed meeting, it is
understood, will be suggested a:
October 4.
1t is apparent that some differ
ence Of opinion exists in the cabi-
net, one section remaining adamant
on the demand that the Irish leader
repudiate the idea of a republic
entirely before the Irish delegates
are admitted to the conference
and the other urging that the invi'
tation be repeated without condi'
tions. but stating merely that the
government declines to discuss
the question of separation

fusing to recognize the possibility
