slnievnenl. on the subject of "Sel{<(lf‘<
termination." which is interpreted to
mean that he will not compromise on
any matters pertaining to Ulster's pq—
lllll‘lll lights.
While the statement has made deep
impression upon political circles. in
many, quarters it is not accepted as
final. and the hope is expressed that
the negotiations for such a conference
are not yet ended.
The Ulster Premier's statement said
that he was "returning home well-sat-
ished with the efforts being made tow-
:Ird peace." and that de Valera “has
broken his silence and cleared the
ground by his statement to the press
that he proposes to found his claim
on recognition of the right of self-de-
