IRI PARLEY END
WITH REJECTION OF
Sinn Felners Balk at Allegiance
te King Te Leave Lon Len Lon
eon Tomorrow
DISCUSSION OVER TRUCE
' HELD IN DOWNING STREET
Ily the As.secin(cil Press
Londen, Dec. ,r. Tlie Irish peace
negotiations have broken down, accoul acceul
illg te Ktatcmcnts In responsible nunr-
tcrs today. The Dnll r.iruinn dele
gates are expected te return Unnlly te
Ireland tomorrow or Wednesday.
The truce still remains In effect, hew
ever, nnd no Immediate resumption of
hostilities is looked for.
Prime Minister I.lejd Gcm-ge ob
tained an audience today with King
Geerge and explained the situation te
him, after which the IJiltMi pmec top-
tetenttttlves held a conference. This
was followed by n meeting of the entire
Cnbinn.
The correspondence In connection
with tiie negotiations will be made pub
lic by the Government and Mr. Lloyd
Geerge Is expected te make nn explana
tory statement.
On the Government's slile. it uns In.
dlcated the argument will be thnfthe re-
uisai of tlie Sinn Fein te accent nlle-
glnnce te the King made an agreement
impossieie. xiiut condition was insist
ed upon by the llritlsli nnd was, in
addition, an essential preliminary te
securing any assent from Ulster.
Willing te "Recognize" King
.The Sinn Fein refused even n condi
tional premise of allegiance contingent
upon a settlement, the meM; It offered
being te "iccegnlze" the King ns head
of the commonwealth of free nation'..
The Irish delegation yesterday in
formed Mr. Lloyd Geerge that the Gov Gev
erniiient's latest proposals were unac
ceptable te the Imil Klreann Cabinet.
Anether meeting between the, Sinn Fell)
pence delegation and a Rritish commit
tee had been arranged for today, but
.ipparently was canceled.
Tlie closest examination of the Gov
ernment's latest terms satisfied the Sinn
Fein delegates and the Dail lClrcann
Cabinet, It is asserted, that they con
tained no advance en the terms of Prime
Minister Lloyd Geerge's original letter,
which was formally i ejected In July by
Knmeii dc Vnlera In his speech te the
Dail Parliament.
Twe mouths of negotiations with
Downing street hud net get the Irish
any further. It was argued, and ac ac
cetding te well-informed quarters some
of the delegates were opposed even te
the consideration of the new proposals
by tlie Dail Cabinet last Saturday, these
delegates being satisfied that acceptance
by the negotiators would net be in
dorsed by the Sinn Fein in Ireland.
It 'did net take tlie Dail Cabinet long
te decide the Issue. After n sheit ills ills
cusslen In which nil tlie Cabinet mem
bers rejected the Government's pro
posals, Mr. de Valeru turned te the
delegates and said :
"Thescj aie your instructions; they
nre tlie instructions of the people of
Ireland."
The truce continues te exist until no
tice of Its termination is formally given,
njid both the Government and the Sinn
Fein say they" have no intention of
giving that notice. Nevertheless, both
sides feel that the course of events will
be bound te Involve a lenewal of hos
tilities. Held Conference en Truce
The Sinn Fein delegntes visited
Downing street nt !! o'clock this after
noon. It is understood they eenfeired
with the government representatives
concerning the question of continuing
the truce.
The time limit set by Sir James
Crnig, Ulster Premier, fort he submis
sion of a further plan by Mr. I.le.wl
Geerge expires tomorrow. Sir James
is te address the Ulster Parliament to
morrow nnd should no new terms be
forthcoming lie is expected te announce
fficlnlly that the pence negotiations are
ended.
The hope was expressed in Mme gov
ernment circles that when the govern
ment's terms were made public the
weight of average Irish opinion, as
sumed In these circles te be moderate,
might be everted te influence the Sinn
Fein. The most Important bedj of such
opinion, however, is said by quai'tcis
in close touch with It te held the view
that an agreement would have been
ptftsible li.nl the government net, n
these southerners consider It, yielded te
Ulster.
On the government side It was de
clared the cabinet up te the Inst hnr
tiled te find some form of adjustment of
the wide differences between the gev
ernment's piopesuls and the amend
ments which the Sinn Fein delegates
submitted, Indicating the fullest extent
te which they were prepared te go.
Hene Still Enresseil
The newspapers generally regard the
situation with grave nnxlet.v, but hope
I Is net ever where abandoned.
Librrul newspapers, like the Daily
Chronicle, the Westminster Gazette and
the Daily News, while also admitting a
gloomy outlook, plead for cool consid
eration and further discussion.
Appealing for mutual generosity and
concessions between the Sinn Fein and
1 Ulster, both of which, it contends, fear
their own extremists, the Daily News
'seys these extremists will sooner or
later he ignored, and urges that it he
"seener,"
Mr. de Vnlera, who was present
during the consideration of the Itrltish
proposals nt Dublin, spoke significantly
at Gnlway yesterday, saying "Freedom
was never wen without sacrifice, and tlie
country must be ns prepared new te face
sacrifices as It has been in the past."
