ON PROPOSALS
Sim Fem Leaders Meet
Daily; "Rock Of Ulster
Is Obstacle

London, England, July 26.-(By The
Associated Press)-The Incanny silence
Dublin maintains relative to the British
governments proposals would create
uneasiness but for the known TACT that
the Sim Fein leaders are engaged in
daily discussion of these proposals
which as Austen Chamberlain, govern
ment leader, revealed in the house OF
commons today were only outlines
and principles"
afford basis for continued negotla-
tons. No reply has been received by
the premier from Mr.. De Valera.
According to reports current in
Dublin, what is called the Rock Of VI
ster" is the great abstacle which must
be taken into consideration. 1t is
clear from the statements of Lord
Birsinhead. lord high chancellor. in
the house of lords, and Mr.. Chamber
lain in the commons today that the
government has not lost hope of
settlement. The former announced
that the government was hopeful II
could make statement at an early
date: Mr.. Chamberlain clearly indi-
Gated that the government expected a
late autumn session to pass legisla-
ton regarding peace in Ireland. These
are not the only favorucie signs.
Mr.. Lloyd George has decided that
he will not go abroad for a vacation;
he desires to be available for any de-
velopment. Moreover General Jan e
SHUTS has booked passage on liner
sailing for South Africa Friday and II
is believed he would NOT leave Eng
land, unless convinced Irish negotia-
tons were line for peace
A writer in the Westminster Gazette
points out that De vafera's dema nd
for independence for Ireland is far
from being an extravagant demand
as 1t is based on sound historical
ground. namely. that under the act OF
Independence passed by the British
parliament in 17s3, Ireland in king
dom under the British king but united
for the time being under the treaty
embodied in the act of union in 1900

JAPS TO TALK
over FAR EAST
Agree to Take Full Part In
Disarmament Meeting
Now

Washington, D. c., July c6-By The
Associated Press)-With fun Japanese
participation in the disarmament con-
Terence regarded as finally accured,
american officials in charge of the
conference plans are beginning to
give earnest consideration to the date
OF meeting as the next step in the
diplomatic preliminaries.
Sucn exchanges as have taken place
regarding the meeting date are under
stood to have been informal pending
definite statement of Japan's con-
sent to enter fully into the discus
sions.
From now on however the subject
VIII be given greater prominence with
the United States leaning strongly to-
ward late fall as the most advantage
Gus time.
Official word of Japan's willingness
TO discuss Far Eastern questions had
not reached the state department to-
night but officials showed much graft
ncatlon over news dispatches saving
such decision has been reached by
the japanese cabinet. 1t has been the
desire here to clear away these pre-
liminaries quickly tho confidence has
been apparent that Toxic would inter-
pose no obstacle to the unreserved dis
cussion desired
Once Japan definitely has prepared
TO come into the conference here
without self imposed restrictions and
reservations. 1t is the belief here that
the participating powers can reach an
agreement without difficulty regarding
the program of the sessions.
me date of meeting however, is a
consideration of some Importance
which will have to be decided before
the formal invitations go out. Ameri-
can officials have emphasized that
tney desire to get the delegates to-
sether as soon as practicable. tho
they have no intention of trying to
dictate what day shall be selected
They have suggested Armistice day,
November IL.
Whether that time Will be acceptable
generally to the other powers is un-
known here. but news reports from
abroad have indicated Great Britain
In particular might favor delaying the
| meeting until spring.
Much data must be prepared by
each nation for use during the consul
tations here. large staffs must be or
sanized and many physical arrange
ments made in addition to reaching an
agreement on the program.

agreed to lay the 3o-foot stringers
necessary and come to the city for the
flooring and then lay the same; all OF
