IRISH CONFERENCE IS TO REASSEMBLE THIS AFTERNOON London, Dec. 4 (By the A. P.).—The Irish conference reassembled in Downing street at the official residence of Premier Lloyd George this afternoon to discuss the latest phases of the Irish situation.

Horne, chanceller of the exchequer, represeriing Great [Britain, and Arthur Griffith. Robert Barton and George Gavan Duffy, representing the Sinn Feiners. The general impression of the sitnation after the meeting was a very sloomy one. The Irishmen submitted the resuit of Dail Eireann's examination of the late: proposals of the government and pointed Rt whers they were unacceptable, They had said no more on Thursday night than that the proposals required full con- sideration and had not yielded any points in dispute. The meeting of the Dail Eireann ¢ net in Dublin Saturday emphasized the principles involved in the scheme. and the impression conveyed that no principle would he sacrificed to gain Ul ster's assent or to put if it refused assent. Premier Lloyd George's difficul cording to those in close touch with him, that he cannot ask Ulster to agree to any terms which British opinion would not endorse, He is firm in the stand that the allegi- ance question’ cannot be or camoduflaged, and this, it prove dthe most insu obstacles to a settiement. The proposal ti he King might be recognized’ as the head of a British fed- eration of free states, but not as king of Jreland. was objected to by the British ministars. It was declared it would be scouted by Uister and would not be in- telligible to the British electors. An at- tempt was made to devise some form of Ulster in wrong ac- abandoned said, allegiance the Sinn Fein might accept, but this apparently proved unsuccessful The crux of partition was almost equally serious. The Sinn Fein regards Irish unity as fundamental and was that no proposal: aimed at ster’s.assen: should prove a possible per- manent bar.
