More Optimistic vi e w
Prevails In London
and Possibility Of a
Meeting Between De
Valera and Sir James
Craig g Is Foreshad-
owed This Morning.

London, July 20.-The probability
of Il meeting in Belfast of Eamonn
de Valera and Sir James Craig, the
Ulster premier, is foreshadowed in
some political quarters this morning.
Gen. j. G.. SHUTS, premier of South
Africa, who re-entered the negotia-
tions yesterday, doubtless is largely
responsible for this and similar op-
timistic speculation which ha sur
vived under great difficulties since
Monday. when the Ulster premier de-
parted suddenly from Belfast max
ing a forceful statement on the sub
iect of self determination as it APP
piled to Ulster.
This seemed for a time to end all
hope for an amiable meeting between
The two Irish leaders, but the mod
Grating influence of General SHUTS
coupled with Belfast dispatches to the
effect that Sir James does not regard
peace parleys as Interrupted, have
gone long way toward re-establish-
ing confidence.
Mr.. de Valera now is reported will
ing to go to Belfast and meet Sir
James after he has discussed with
his Dublin followers certain proposals
which, it is understood Premier Lloyd
George will submit to him Thursday.
The British cabinet today will give
Special consideration to the Irish
question and it is believed that the
afore- mentioned proposals will be
discussed at great length, and that
they are likely to receive the approval
of the entire ministry. Staunch
Unionist members of the British par
lament are reported to be increasing
ly nervous respecting the progress of
Irish affairs. and it is known that
about 40 of them met privately yes
terday to discuss their positions.
AS they lacked inside knowledge
respecting the negotiations, however,
they refrained from reaching any de-
cision as to the action they would
