the Sim Fciners themselves, by
conteSting the elections for the

of no partition" in which they
were roundly defeated. have recog-
nized listers claim to sclf-deter-
mination, and, so far as his words
have ben interpreted for the pres
ent, he seems to wash his hands
of any further participation in the
peace negotiations.
Sir James said: 81 return home
we'll satisfied with the efforts be-
ing made toward peace. MIR. dc
Valera has broken his silence and
cleared the ground by his statement
to the press that he proposes to
found his claim on recognition on
the right of sclf-dctcrmination. The
conversations between Mr.. Lloyd
George and Mr.. de Valera will be
resumed Thursday"
This would ordinarily permit the
British public and ireland still TO
Indulge in confident hope that Il
