London, Nov. 6—Storm clouds, in the form of a threatened hiatus in the Irish peace negotiations, are looming on the ‘British political horizon, and whether they break depends upon the attitude Ul- ster adopts towdrd the parleys now go- ing on between representatives of the Sinn Fein and the government. This is the almost unanimous opinion of the Sunday newsparars, the editorial writers of which devote columns today .in at- temps to forecast the result. Sir James Craig, th¢ Ulster premier, held two lengthy conferences with Prime Minister Lloyd George yesterday at the latter's sequest, but the premiers are unofficially reported to have made no ad- vance toward an accommodation of their respective views. The conferences are supposed. to have dealt with the pro- posal to enlarge the constitution and powerg of the council of Ireland, delimit ization of the frontier between the North and South, protection of minorities and other possible bases for settlement which have been tentatively agreed upon by the British and Sinn Fein representatives. ‘Not since the end of 1916, says the Sunday Times, “has, the political situa- tion been so Interestinz, so critical, so full of hope, and at the same time o uncertain and liable to fiy off on un- expected tangents. “We may be on the point of the Irish problem. On the dther hand, disappointment, which is still possi! would only leave $cland in a worse st than before, but would have far-reaching effects on our own domestic politics- - split the Unionist party and either take premier Lloyd George into temporary re- tirement or put him at the head of a new coalition.” The News of the World, which is cred- ited with enjoving especial favor in Downing street, says the Irish conference is at the cross roads, and that, should Mr. Llovd George be unable to bring about a settlement “on cards"—that is, on ‘the basis of the terms already laid down—he may resign. The newspaper says It urderstunds that the premier has cancelled his arrangements for a week end ‘sojourn at Ceupuers Court, his coun- try estate, so as to confer with cabinet settling members “concerning a situation of deepening gravity.” The Weekly Dispatch also asks whefher Ulster will take an _attitude which will permit peace in Ireland. It heralds as two events “of the highest interests” the re-entry into the political arena of A. Bonmar Law and a meeting hitherto unmentioned in the press, of Mr. Law, Viscount Birkenhead and Sir Gecrge Younger, Tory party manager. “We have thus” says the newspaper, “a full-dress conference of the former leider, j=espective leader and manager of the conservatice party.” Recalling that Both M. Taw and Vis- count Birkenhead have pledged them- selves to Ulster's support, the Weekly Dispatch declares that, if Ulster refuses what Premier Lloyd George things are reasonable terms, he may resjgn and leave the Tories to face the situation. Should Ulster prove the stumbling block to prevent an Irish settlement, and Mr. Lloyd Georze the voters on the issue, the newspaper says, the coalition would be in obvious davger of breaking uwp. The sequel, it adds, would be that a Tory premier would assume the reins of office, even if only temporarily. The Irish issue is even more momen- tous for the empire than the Washing- ton arms conference, declares the Week- Iy Observer, which adds: “Mor can Brit- ish statemanship give effective mind to the vast American programme until light is struck through the darkness of Irish misery.” The Observer declares that the sug- gested plan to take from Ulster the counties of Tyrone and Fermanazh must be-disregarded, as it might easily bring about the rejection of alleziance to the empire by both the north and south of Ireland. IRISH SITUATION HAS UNDERGONE NO CHANGE London, Nov. 6 (By the A. P.).—The Irish situation has undergonme no. change today. The prime minister had a brief consultation with Austen Chamboriain this morning, after which he went by | automobile to Chequers Court. Accord- ing to present arrangements he will re- turn to London tomorrow morning to hold a cabinet meeting and possibly also to consult further with Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier. ‘Che London correspondent of the Bel- fast Telegraph, whn is regarded as well informed on the Ulster side of the nego- tiations, in a despatch to his paper, says that although nothing has occurred ma- terially altering the situation it would not be surprising if the Ulster premier the conference immediately for the pur- pose of reviewing the position of northern Ireland, This is considered a significant stand tending to show that the Ulsterites are disposed to consider the basis already agreed upon by the conference commit- tee. UNEMPLOYMENT REGIONAL DIRECTORS APPOINTED Washington, Nov. 6.—Selection of fourteen regional directors under the na- tional unemployment conference’s emer- gency relief program was announced to- night by Secretary Hoover.
