This was the first difficulty faced by the conferees the assumption by the Dail ‘Eireann of the functions of goy- ernment in Ireland having caused much irritation here. Actual out- bursts or conflicts with the crown forces are fegarded as less serious than the virtual ousting of the British authorities by the Sinn Fein courts and police, as the crown forces can- not, without breaking the truce, take active measures against this policy on the part of the Sinn Fein. Under the terms of the truce the crown forces must not carry arms, which the Britisha government alleges the Sinn Feiners do. Eamon de Valera, who served as chief liaision officer in Ireland, is act- ing for the Sinn Fein in this matter and A. W. Cope, assistant under-sec- retary for Ireland, who origipally signed the truce, has come to London from Dublin to advise the govern- ment's representatives. The Sinn Fein which has carried out religiously its agreement regarding publication of the proceedings in the conferences, complained this merning that there had been leaks on the gov- ernment side and said this was another matter which they shall demand reme- died. ) AMERICAN CHAMBER OPPOSED TO TARIFF United States Btsiness Organization in England Announces Stand on Fordney Bill.
