Whether They Break De pends Upon Ulster's Atti tude In Irish Parleys London, Nov. 8. Storm elouds in the form of a threatened histus in the Irish peace negotiations are loom ing on the British political horizon and whether they break depend upon the attitude Ulster adopts toward the parleys now going on betwoen representative of the Sinn Psln and th gsvsrament. This th almost unanimous opinion of the Sunday newspapers, the editorial writers of which devote columns to day in attempt to forecast the re suit. Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, held two lengthy conferences with Prims Minister Lloyd George yes terdnv st the latter's request but th Premiers are unofficially reported to have made no advance toward an accommodation of their respective views. The conferences are supposed to have dealt with the proposal to enlarge the constitution and powers of the council of Ireland, eluninatio of the frontier between the north and south, protecting of minorities and other possible bases for settl men! whieh have been tentatively agreed up in by the Hntish and Sin rein representatives.

On the other h.m disappointment, which is still pos sible, would not noly leave Ireland in a worse state than before, hut would have far reaching effects on our own domestie politics split the Unionist party and either take Pre mier Lloyd George into temporary retirement or put him at the head of a new coalition." The News ot tho World, which Ss credited wilh enjnyin. especial favor in Downing street, says the Irish con ferenes is at the cross roads, and that, should Mr. Lloyd George be un able 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 under stands that tlio premier has can celled his arrangements for a neck end sojourn at Chequers Court, Iii' country estnte, so as to confer with cabinet members "concerning a situa tion of deepening gtavity."
