Crucial Session Of .
Dali Eireann Today
Impression Prevails in Dub
lin That the Peace Confer
ence Has Failed to Agree
on Any Plan.

Dublin, May 1e.-(By the A P)-
The impression prevalent in Dublin to-
night, following the announcement that
the peace committee of the Dali Elreann
had concluded its deliberations and " ould
report to the Dali Wednesday, was that
the conferees had failed to agree on
any plan and that tomorrow's meeting
would have to face a final breakdown
of the attempts to reconcile the two
factions.
After the report of the peace cornmit-
tee, the next item on the Dali asenda
is resumption of discussion on the army
report submitted by the minister Of de-
fense. The report embodIes "a strong
Indictment of the present disoF iers, and
fixes the blame largely upon fhe coun-
ell of the dissident army. This w3s
bers at the last meeting of the Dali, and
Cathal Brugha indicated he would have
much to say concerning it.
Thus far Eamonn De Valera mas not
interfered in the Dali Eireann On the
controversial aspects of army differences,
his attitude being that the diss,dent
section of the army is acting under irs
own chiefs and independently of him But
although he is believed to favor army
unity, De Valera has made it plain that
his sympathies are with the dissiJenJs as
truly carrying ON republican traditions

though they disagree with the treaty

No official expression Of the British
governments views can be obtained here,
because so far as foreign affairs are
concerned the seat of the government
these days is wherever Lloyd George may

ening little satisfaction. He hoDed the
prime minister would make a statement

OBSTACLES AT CHILEAN
PERUVIAN CONFERENCE

Washington, May Icy the A. P.)
The Cnilean-Peruvian conference
which began its course here only hours
ago amid universal declarations of opti-
mism, encountered signs of unpleasant
sailing today soon after the two delega
tions came together for their first exec
utive meeting.
Most prominent among these, develop
ments was decision understood to have
been reached by the Chileans to bring the
bitterly debated question of the validity
of the treaty of Ancon, to a sharp issue
at the very outset of the negotiations.
Another disturbing element was a re-
iterated plea by Bolivia that her rights :
and interests as we'll as those Of Chile
and Peru must be considered in any set
tlement designed to remove causes for
unrest In South America.
third much discussed feature of the
situation generally interpreted interprc-
ted in diplomatic circles as an evidence
Of the unusual caution with which Peru
and Chile are proceeding was an agree
ment between the two delegations that
whenever a decision is reached al any
single issue it is to be embodied ilnnle-
diately in formal protocol duly GER
titled and signed by both sides.
The Chilean plan, it is understood BY
The Associated Press is to present. eth
er tomorrow or on Thursday, a proposal
that the question of fulfilling the Tacna-
AFRICA article of the Ancon treaty he de.
bated at once.
Bolivia's interest is in a comprehen
sive readjustment of the settlement fol.
lowing the war Of the Pacific. to wh.cf
she was a party. The Bolivian govern
ment sought unsuccessfully to be admit
ted as member of the Washington con.
ference on the ground that she was di
rectly affectde.

but half hour and ended without either
side having mentioned any of the. major
