LONDON, July 25.-Despatches
from Dublin make stronger the belief
that the Sim Fein will agree 10 pelce
terms in Ireland and that while some
delay may he experienced ali carly
settlement may not be impossible
The fact that the offer from Lloyd
George has not been refused gives
great encouragement to those who are
watching the situation closely.
In the release from prison OF Coun-
tess Markievics has arisen Il belief
that De Valera is awaiting the fur
ther freeing OF Irish prisoners before
taking u. decisive step toward the ac-
ceptance Of the Governments pro-
posils. Tn. Countess who is a SiaL
Fein Member OF Parliament, has been
in jail seven months, having been
sentenced to two years.
While no statement has been given
out. it is said the Government will .
insist that tn. settlement be Ell,
through the machinery Of the
ing act OF Parliament. buI
disposed 10 consider any p..
which Ulster and South Ire!4n
be able to agree.
Almost all the discussion here. now
ever, assumes that Eamon De Valers
must be willing to agree To the m ain.
tcnancc OF the present status of the
lister Parliament and many are e1-
pressing The hope that the Irish Rs.
publican leader will refrain frou
.eopardZIng the chance OF peace by
insisting upon any plan that would
disturb listers position. The view
OF these is that tims will aid in bring
ing Ulster around 10 cooperation
with the South,
II is not yet known whether DE-
Valera intends 10 convene the Re-
publican Parliament for the purpose
Of considering the proposals.
