Colonel Spender poiunted out that three were a great many poiats requiring elucidation which might neces- siate further correspondeance before any de~ision could be made by the Ulster Cabinet. In reply to questions, he de- clared that if the South were going to continue hostile, ‘it would be better to have it out now’’, but if the South really intended to act with friendliness, that would put a different complexion on af- fairs. He admitted that the first impres- sion of the Ulster Govt. was one of puz- zlement.’”’ He thought tbat the details were likely to afford more trouble than the broad outlines, Ulster disliked the formma of the oath proposgd, but if it was acceptable fto the Brif/?l people, Ulster -would not object.

Tth.— Profound ef- | forts on both British and United States affairc and better relations between ' Great Buiitain and the United States are | foreseen here by reason of the settle- ' ment of the Irish question. Comment ' here in the most intelligent guarters is . that the settlement will quiet a large | element of voters in this country who | have tried persistently to involve the | United States and England over the . Irish question, and the Irish problem | will cease to be a factor in United States | politics. The United States and Great ' Britain will be better enabled to work ' together as to many phases of World . affairs. The settlement is widely viewed ' here as agreat piece of statesmanship . on the part of Mr, Lloyd George, Far- seeing authorities here express the view too, that if London succeeds in helping Germany get on her feet, the removal of Irish hostility in the United States to Great Britain will be followed by murh the same thing in the case of German- Americans who have been always anti- English. Honolulu, Dec. T7th.—The Japanese diplomatic council formally approved the proposed four power treaty for settle- ment of Pacific differences this evening at a meeting at Premier Takahashi’s re- sidence, according toa Tokio cablegram to the “'Nippu Jiji’’, a Japanese paper here, Washington, Dec. T7th.—A mutual pledge not to go to war over disputes in the Farcific withcut ‘‘a cooling off’ period of disctssion, is the basis of the new four power treaty, proposed as a substitute for the Anglo-Japanese alli- ance. Discussions of the proposal among the arms dclegates have reached a well advanced stage, although none of the Governments concern. 1, the United States, Great Britain, (Japan ard France, have givep their final appreval. A suggestion that the Anglo-Japanese pact be revoked has gone to Tokio and London. Possible rontroversies over the Pacific Islands alone, exelu ve of the Hawaiian group and Yap, wo. come under the provisions of th: nev agreement. Yap is to ke the subject of a separate treaty, negotiations for which are nearing completion, and Hawaii is to be considered, for purposes of the agreement, as part of the United States mainland. The problemrs of China, or other portions of the Asiatic mainland, are not to be touched by the proposed treaty, nor will it eon- tain provisions relating to Pacific fortifications, or the naval reduction programme. It is possible, however, " ~1l of these questions may come simultaneously to the point of a decision. By the United States delegates the pro- ject is regarded as establishir.g neither an alliance nor an entente, but merely applying to the Pacific I lands the princi- ples of the thirty odd Briand peace trea- ties to which the United States already is a party. A public statement setting forth that position probably will be made in the near future. Beifast, Dec. Bth. Cardinal Logue Primate of Ireland, told a correspondent that he thought the Irish peace terms very satisfactory. He added, ‘'l would like to see unity and no division of the ccuntry, so that all could pull together for the good of Ireland. 1 would like to see the people of Ireland living in peace and charity with each other. It is satisfactory to be givena Parliament of our own. And in any way it pre- vents us from being fleeced by England and paying to her far beyond our tax- able capacity. -
