seems certain that there will be no
Irish peace conference at Inver-
ness, for, according to the latest
reports, the premier has decided to
return to London at the end Of the
week if his health--is sufficiently
restored, in which case the next
formal cabinet council will be held
in London.

retaryi for Ireland, left today fer
Gairloch. indicating that Ireland
will be subject Of the conference
on Thursday.

mier has provoked such divergent
opinions as his latest telegram.
Everything considered it is not un-
likely that the prime minister will
even delay his reply until the
whole. cabinet has met here. The
parliament of north Ireland met
today, the date originally proposed
for the Inverness conference and
the speech of Sir James Craig,
the Ulster premier, showed that
Ulster is no better disposed toward
