NO TICKET BY NATIONALIST
 PARTY PUT Up

BELFAST, Ireland, March 28 (by Associated Press). - It is far from certain that the Nationalist party will
 contest the elections for the Ulster
 parliament. The Unionists are going
 ahead with their election plans and preparing to select candidates and
 it is not unlikely that Sim Feiners
 will take the field against them, but
 the Nationalists are still two minds
 as to whether to enter the lists.
 If they do their successful candi- dates Will it is understood, take their
 seats in the new parliament. In ac- c0rdance with the party tactics adopt ed at the parliamentary election two years ago, Sim Fen candidates if elected will have nothing to do with the Ulster parliament.
 Conferences have been held lately in Dublin between Nationalists and Sim Fein leaders for the purpose of trying to agree on a plan of joint action with regard to the forthcoming elections. The first meeting, it is
 said, was between Joseph Devlin and President De Valera of the Dail Eireann. They discussed several pro- posals of mutual party action and the conversations had not been concluded
 when MT. Devlin left for London for the reopening of parliament. Later
 two other Nationalist leaders went to Dublin to talk to MT. De Valera but, it is said, no agreement could
 be reached.
 Ulster Nationalists have no love for the Sim Fein and they are loath
 Sim Fein cause. Hence one section
 of the party here is in favor of con- 1 testing the elections. Another section,
 said to be equally strong, would re-
 frain from entering the elections be-
 cause of tAhe belief that the forma- tion of a Nationalist opposition in 1 the Ulster parliament would be play
 ing directly into the hands of the 1 UniOnistS.
 | Suppose" said a prominent Ma
 tionaIist to the correspondent, i've
 contested the elections. We could
 win at the most only 12 or 15 seats
 out of the 52. Our opposition, there | fore. not only would be futile but it
 would be a blessing to the Unionists.
 To crush our little Catholic minority, 1 the Unionists would sink all their
 own differences and present a solid l front against us. If there is no Cp-
 position, they will be deprived of
 secretarian rally cry, and they will

have some lively fights among them selves which may disrupt their whole party organization"
 A meeting of the Nationalists is to be held soon to decide the question of contesting the elections If they do go into them it will be for the avowed purpose of using the cleo tton5 as means of trying to make the Partisan Act unavoidable The Ulster Nationalist is opposed even more strongly than the Sim Feiner to the scheme of partition, for ir Ulster the Nationalists will be in a hopeless minority in the new parlia, ment
