LONDON, May lo.-The peace com
mittee of ten appoincd by the Dali
Ereann q week ago has failed to find
a basis OF tettlcment between the Free
Statcrs and the rcpubli, rs and so
reported 10 the Dali in Dublin this
evening. The Deputies received thc
statement that. a deadlock had been
reached in profound silence.
BEYOND the fact that eleven meetings
had been held in an effort to explore
channels through which peace between
the factions might be effected, no dc
tails were given Thc pro-treaty and
anti-treaty sections of the committee
viii present separate reports TO the
Dal tomorrow.
Secretary O'Dwyer, Of the committee
said that the pro-tYcaty section had
report ready for Submission. but at the
requcst Of the other side ;ris was not
presented until the ether dc had pre-
pared lis memoranda. President Grif-
tith then said that the reading Of both
reports would be the first business of
the session tomorrow.
Republicans Reject Compromise
The Tribune correspondent learned
that the breakdown of the negotiations
was due to the fact that the Rcpubli-
cans refused to consider a compromise
either III q civil or military sense,
There is hope in Dublin that in view,
OF the failure Of The committee TO reach
any basis Of agreement the Dali as a
body will take up the question at once
when both reQor-s arc read. At any
rate, the existing truce which is
scheduled TO run as long as ncgotia-
tons are pending will not be called
off because OF the failure of the Joint
committee.
The move for peace came from the
officers of The Irish republican army
and the Dali took up negotiations un-
der pressure of the army While the
De Valera men arc as uncompromising
as ever in a political sense, there is
abundant evidence that Mother side is
willing to take the responsibility of
renewing host;lities.
In tho event OF a complete failure
TO reach an understanding there is
chance that the truce will be continued
until after the election. The Free
Staters are planning to hole the eloc-
tions III the second week of June, as
originally slated, believing That they
are now strong enough to insure
free expression III most Of the dis
tricts

nlng IT was indicated that there was a
possibility Of the committee continu-
ing its sessions. but it was agreed that
they should presen, their separate re-
