United News Staf Correspondent
LONDON. Sept l6.-Attempting to
recover from the CONSERVATION Into
which Lloyd Georges sudden decis-
ION TO cancel the Inverness conference
threw the nation. the Irish sympa-
thizcrs at least profess TO find nope
that the negotiations may, after all.
continue after Lloyd George has held
further consultations with his Cabi-
net.
1t is admitted everywhere that the
outlook is threatening. but neither
in Downing Street nor in Irish circles
are there to be found officials who
will admit that the negotiations have
definitely failed and that war In Ire
land will come again.
There is. however. no indication
that Lloyd George will recede from
his position. and what optimism per-
sists is based upon two possibilities,
which are:
The insistence OF Sim Fcin upon
recognition OF Ireland's sovereignty
as n prerequisite to peace. may nave
been De Valera's final test of the
governments position. and may be
followed row by a modification of the
principle in which he persists.
Acccntuntes Difference of Opision.
Also, the gravity OF the situation
has acccntuatcd the difference OF
opinion between Irish moderates and
extremists, strengthening the efforts
Of the former group towards concilia-
'ticm. 1t is possible that distinct
cleavage may develop within short
time.
Many Irish leaders refuse to accept
Lloyd Georges view-that to hold
the conference on the basis that the
Irish delegates were representing an
Independent Ireland-would actually
constitute recognition of the Irish
Republic" On the other hand, they
argue that, if this were true, there
would be no need for any conference.
