This is an example OF the sort Of
breach OF faith which is highly dan

ChnrEe DIIntory Tactics.
The third point OF dissension arose
when the Irish ncgotiators accused
the government OF dilatory tactics in
the peace convention. and of seek
ing 10 postpone action on the contro-
versial points for which the two del
egations had been brought together.
The governments argumcnt-al-
though this was not brought up in
the conference itself-is that thc Irish
are seeking either to prevent Lloyd
Georges trip TO Washington. or else
trying to speed up the negotiations
under the belief that they may thus
obtain n better bargain.
Lloyd George. 1t may he said. is de-
tcrmincd to go to Washington, and
recognizes that there are three al
tcrnatives: first. collapse Of the
peace attempt before his departures;
second, an agreement: third. TO keep
the conference marking time until he
returns from America. The second
is hardly possible OF achievement
for there remain but two weeks be-
fore the Premier must be on his way.
The Premier therefore wishes to fol-
low the third course.
Makes No Progress. s.
II is admitted that thus far. the
conference has failed to reach sin

question OF observing the truce.

up, still remains unsolvcd.

the situation said one government
official to me after today's session.
They have continued to act is IL they
we're the masters of the situa atom
The United News is reliably in
formed that the Premier warned the
Sim Feincrs in vigorous terms that
he would not tolerate any reflections
upon the King. such as he considered
were contained in De Valera's letter
to the Pope. and that he told the del
cgates that such action was "a di-
rect affrOnt to HI" Nijrs,y."
The Irish rcr'iad hat no slur
against the kim hri been intended,
but that any mention of His Majesty
was justified in cons. dcration of the
Kings reference to my people"
The conference adjourned without
reaching an understanding either In
regard to the letter to the Pope or
the arms-smuggling question. Both
OF those questions will be revived
Monday. Q
