 LOCKED
tBy Associated Press)

LONDON. Sept 2l.-The present
 situation on Irish affairs is that no additional conference will be held until after Lloyd George makes re- ply to the latest communication from
 President DeValera of the Irish Re- public. The British premier will
 not make his answer until after a conference with his ministers which will be held in Scotland, at Gairloch, tomorrow. It is now safe to assert that no Irish peace conference will be held at Inverness. Latest re- ports are to the effect that the prime minister will return to his office at London the latter part of this week if his health permits If this is done it may be that the conference set for Gairloch will be postponed and held in London on the premier's re turn The general opinion among well informed Englishmen is that the cabinet meeting will decide to let the Irish truce stand as il is at pres ent pending an appeal to the country through a general election. In this way the matter will be subject to a final decision by the entire body of the British electorate. Criticisms of the governments attitude as not to be ing representative of the peoples views will then be dissipated.
