Pretoria,

says
¢
strong
plea for
support
of
the
League
of
Nations,
was
voiced
by
the
Premier
Ner-a]l
Sm4ats,
in an
address

Pretoria
town
Hall
on
Saturday.
General
Smuts,
who
iacidentally
noted
with regret
the
apathy
in
South
Africa
regarding
the
League,
believed
it would
get
new assistance
from
the Washington
Conference,
on the importance
of which
e
laid
stress
for the
great work
which
it
stood.
In
support
of
the
argu-
ment
that
the
league
could
never
be
successful
while huge
tracts
of
the
world
are
excluded,
he
advanced
the
original
view that Russia
and
Germany
should
oe
made
to
join
the
league,
if
they failed
to do
so voluntarily.
He also
considered
the
main
function
of
the
league
should
be to regulate
the
econo
mic relations
between
Nations
the
weak
spot of the present
system.

London,
Nov.
14th.-——The
negotiations
among
the
British,
Sinn Fein
and Ulster
officials,
regarding
the future
of Iveland
have
now entered
a stage
in
which the
negot ators
are
talking
of
intermittent
conferences
extending
over months,
in-
stead
of weeks.
Counter
proposals
for
an
Irish settlement
to those
made
by the
Ulster Cabinet
|
st
week,
were forward-
ed
to the
Ulsterites
this
evening
by
the
British
representatives,
informing
the
Ulsterites
tha:
their
alternative
proposal
was
not
acceptable.
No
further
meet-
in2 between
the
British and
Ulster dele-
gates
his been
arranged.
It now seems
that
Mr. Lloyd George’s
diplomacy must
be
dire
ted
to
bringing
Ulster
into
a
three
cornered
agreement.
‘'The
North-
erners
are
ba'!
boys
now’’,
remarked
one
of
the
Sinn
Fein
delagates.
Mr.
Ausien
Chamberlain,
in
a
letter
which
he
wrote today,
spacially
set
forth
his
position
as follows:
' Like
all
my
Uni-
onist
erileagues
[ have
repeatedly
said
that
I would
not
be
a
pariy
to
the
¢o-
ercion
of
U'ster.
By
that
pi2dge,
we
stated
it
as
comreon
ground
to
the
whole
Unionist party.
The
Prime
Min-
ister
has
given
the
same
pledge
and
neither
he
nor
we
will depart
from our
word.
Peace
is
our
great-st
need.
A
million and
three
quarters
of
our people
are
without
work
trade
is
stagnang,
confidence
is lacking.
On.the
result
of
the
present
negotiations
depend
issues
of p2ace
and
war
in these
islands,
ver
haps
the
future
peace
of the ,world.
I
should
hold myself
unworthy of the hon-
our conterred
on
me
by
the
Unionist
°
party,
if,
in
such
circumstances,
[
did
not
use
tny
atmost
efforts to
secure
a
just and
honorable
peace.
Tt peace
is
to
be secured,
all parties
to this ancient
and
bitter controversy,
must
show
some
mea-
sure
of
goordwill
2nd
be
prepared
for
some
concession
to
the feelings
of
oth-
ers’’.
While
the
Unionist leaders
affirm
their
adherence
tc
the
promise
not
to
coerce
Ulster,
some
of Ulsters
newspa-
pers
supporters
see
in England
and
re-
sent
an
atmosphere
of
what
they
des-
cribe
as moral coercion.
The last sentence
quoted
from
Mr.
Chamberlain’s
letter,
is typical
of the
appeals
for
a
compro-
mise coming
from many
English
papers
and
practically
all
the
London
papers,
excepting
the
‘‘Morning Post”’.
The.
Liverpool
conference
of
the
Unionist’
party
on Thursday
will be important,
be-
eause
it may
show
how
much
support
a
no surrender
poliecy by
Ulster may
com-
mand.
The
group
of
so-called
‘‘die
hard’’ in
the House
of Commons
which
mustered
43
votes against
the
coalitions
Irish policy, assert
that the rank and file
of the
party
is
with
them.
They
have
preparel
several
resolutions
for
Liver-
pool meetings
and
even have
hopes
that
Mr.
Andrew
DBonar
Law
may
become
their leader.
But
as yet
Mr. Bonar
Law
has
not
shown
his hand.
Washington,
Nov.
14th—Great
Bri-
tain’s acoagptance
''in
principle’’ of the
United
States
proposals
for limitation of
naval
armaments,
coftemplates
an
al-
ter
tion of the plan in
several
important
details.
The British
acceptarce
will be
presenied
at
tomorrvow’s
plenary
ses-
sion of the
conference
by
Mr.
Balfour,
who has vlenipocentiary
poweYs.
Japan’s
acceptance
‘‘in principle’’
a'though
it
.
has
been
forecasted
by
the
=statement
o Baran
Admiral
Kato,
may
be
delayed
as
the
Japanese
mission
is
obliged
to
confer
with
Tokio.
Mr.
Balfougy
may
not
outline
the
details
of
the
reserva-
tions
Great
Britain
wishes
to
make,
but
they
are
substantially
de<cribed
this
way.
Instead
of
a
flat
ten
year
holiday,
Great
Britain
wants
the
re-
placement
programme
to
be
an
elas-
tic
one,
tospread
over
a
period
of
years,
Great
Britain
would
like
to
see
submarines
outlawed
from
naval
warfare,
failing
this,
to
see
their
tonnage
and
equipment,
distinctly
lim-
ited.
She
fears
that
the
submarine
fleets
allowed
by
the
American
pro-
gramme
are
too
great.
She
has
nev-
er
had
so
large
a
submarine
fleet
as
the
proposals
would
allow
her.
The
United
States,
Great
Britain
fears,
would
have
her
at
a
disadvantage
®
in
airpline
carrying
ships
under
the
terms
of
the
United
States
proposals,
because
while
Great
Britain
has
an
equipment
of
these
ecraft,
the
Uni-
ted
States
would
have
to
build
now
the
number
allotted
They
would
be
of
later
design
and
of
superior
im-
provement,
while
the
British
ships
would
bhe
obsolete.
Great
Britain
wants
the
replacement
programme
spread
over
a
period
of years,
because
British naval
experts
argue
the program-
me
could
be
carried
on
with
a
very
small
equipment
of
building
plants
on
a
small
scale,
probably
a
ship
ata
time.
If a flat ten
year
holiday were
to
be
declared,
they
say
the
facilities for
makinga wholesale
réclacement
at
the
end of ten
years
would
have
to be kept
in
organization
although
great
fleets of
warships
might
be
consigned
to
the
junk pile, the
facilities
for reproducing
them still would exist.
Such
a
program
the
British
naval
experts
say,
does
not
go
to the root of
the jquestion
there-
fore, they will propose
that,
for instanee
a
one
ship
production
equiprnent
be
left to
each
nation,
to
fit
in with
a re-
placement
programme
extending
over
a period of years
and
that the
immense
properties,
equipment,
technical
staffs
and
other
organization,
which
would
have
to be kept
in
readiness
to take up
a replacement
programme
in
ten
years
be dispensed
with,
