RIVAL IRISH GROUPS
FIND WAY TO PEACE
Committee Agrees on Basis for
Action and Dali Is Expected
to IndOrSe 1t.

| DUBLIN, May ASSOCIATED Press) -
the Peace Conferences, both military
and civil. encourages the belief that the
internecine struggle between the two
sections of the Dali Eireann, with its
splitting, of the army. is ended for the
present. If the peace committee agrees
| to a basis for peace 1t is believed the
! Dali will indorse II.
The terms of the settlement have not
| been mode known but the whole course
of the discussion points to Irish coali-
! ton. 1t has all along been agreed by
| both sides that the Dali Eireann must
| be the supreme government pending the
| peoples decision, and both sides are
equally agreed that the Dali Is unitedly
Republican, though differing concerning
! the means of attaining that final result.
! Eamon de Valera has fought against
the exercise of any powers OF govern
ment not subject to the Dali. This was
resisted by the members OF the Pro-
visional Government who claimed that
as such they were not answerable TO the
Dali. The foremost portfolios, finance,
home affairs local government. agrt-
culture and economic affairs, are held
by men who fill the same posts in the
Provisional Government.
! This secures harmonious cooperation.
| but is not acceptable to De Valera and
| his adherents. The idea is to have De
Valera and some of his prominent sup
! porters once more members of the Dali
| Cabinet.
| The elections already fixed for June
IS, according to the plan outlined. would
not be polled, but an agreed list of can
di6ates would be settled upon, embrac-
ing both sides, and the result would be
new Dali Eireann supplemented by
| representatives of labor and others.
There are several members of the
Dali including De Valera. Griffith ard
Collins. now sitting for two constitu-
encies, one in northern and one ia
southern ireland. In June they could
each abandon one seat, thus leaving
vacancies for men who had been agreed
upon. 1t is suggested that there should
be two labor members, two representa-
tives of the four courts, army executive
and two representatives of big busi-
ness added TO the Dali
IL the army became reunited, q point
in question would be whether the army
should be wholly under the Dail's juris-
dictioh. or. as the dissidents have con-
tended, be autonomous, governed in ac-
cordance with its own choice.
Meanwhile. the trucs has been OK
tended indefinitely. and the fact that
/
evacuation Of the port board offices by
the rregulars is taken as evidence that
peace all round under a new regime is
certain.
The publicity department of the Dali
Eireann this afternoon announced that
the meeting of army officers issued the
following statement:

hereby ordered with view to allowing
