HOPEFUL PROMISE
| PEACE IN IRELAND
Representatives Unite in Plan
to End Disorders
CHEERFUL SPIRIT SHOWN
Ulster Police To Be Reorganized On
Basis Satisfactory To Catholic And
Protestants-First Step To-
ward Real Peace.

London.-Winston Spencer Churchill,
the Imperial Secretary for the Col
onies, announced in the House of Com
mons the terms Of the most important
agreement yet reached between the
representatives of the Northern and
Southern Governments in Ireland for
bringing about peace in the strife-torn
country. The agreement, which was
reached with unexpected expedition at
conference between delegates of the
Irish groups and representatives of the
Imperial Government, far transcends
In Importance the pact arrived at be-
tween Michael Collins, head of the
Provisional Government, and Sir
James Craig, the Ulster Premier, at
an earlier stage in the negotiations.
1t provides for the reorganization of
the police IN Ulster on a basis salts
factory to the religious leanings of
the people of the North and South
for the trial of persons charged with
serious offenses by a special court
composed Of the highest justices; for
general cooperation between the
North and South of most promising
character; and for assistance from the
British Parliament to remedy the un-
employment difficulties in Belfast,
which rendered the carrying out of the
previous Craig-Collins pact almost i'm
possible.
The fact that the representatives of
the Dublin, Belfast and Imperial gov
ernments set their signatures to such
an agreement is regarded in political
circles as the most significant and
weighty happening since the Irish
treaty was signed. The conference sat
throughout the whole of the day, but
there always was most hopeful and
cheerful spirit manifested by all those
participating in it.
The morning sitting was by the
small conference. In the afternoon
the full conference assembled and
discussed the situation for two hours.
In the evening there was another gath
ering for the final drafting of the
agreement and it's signature. At the
conclusion of the conference Sir Ha-
mar Greenwood, chief secretary for
Ireland, came from the room in which
the proceedings had taken place and
said to the waiting newspaper men:
"A most satisfactory agreement has
been reached. Thank God for that"
After Mr.. Churchill had read the
terms of the agreement in the House
of Commons, Sir Donald MacLean, Ma
tional Liberal, said that not only the
House Of Commons but the whole
country and the British Common
wealth, would rejoice. There were
two points, he added, that he regarded
with greatest hope; first, that the
members of the two belligerent par
ties which hitherto had been in con-
flict in Ireland had united in COM
mon effort to maintain law and order,
and, second, that some effort was to
be made for unity in Ireland. All
Joined in fervent prayer, he declared,
that this might be the first step toward
the foundation of a real and lasting
peace.
Joseph Devlin, Nationalist member
for the Falls division of Belfast, also
expressed profound satisfaction over
the agreement.
