The failure of the northern parlia- ment to operate satisfactorily so far from want of funds and the continued interference of British officialdom with the action of the Ulster depart- ments have made It to Belfast's inter- est to listen at least to De Valera's jterms, and -but for the revival of the old religious feuds, which have blinded the masses o all considera- tions of - self-interest, a deal would ! be easy. Sinn Feiners attribute the riots now so frequent in Belfast to the last desperate efforts on the part of the enemies of peace. 5 On the Sinn Fein side all the omens point to a desire for u settiement and & belief that they can secure it.
