JDAIL STRIVES TO

UNITE FACTIONS IN NEW COMPROMISE Breakdown of Peaee Negotiations Has Not Entirely Destroyed Hope. r.y Associated Press. ITP-UN. May 17. The Dail Elreann debated throughout the day thrt breakdown of the peace negotiations and adjourned until Thursday without coming to any decision. 'fc " J " commodation and the interval will ihn utilized by the peace makers to bring the leaders together. The special peace committee failed to reach a settlement because having agreed to uncontested elections, they could not agree on what proportion each side should have in the way of members. The supporters of the treaty, although they claim a great majority, ottered to 'he content with six members out of ten. Those opposed to the treaty wanted the existing proposition in the? Dail Elreann to remain fixed. There was a further disagreement on the constitution of the coalition cabinet, and more important still, on the principles of its operation. Those for the treaty wanted it to assist in the operation of tho treaty, their opponents admitted they wt ited to evade and destroy the tieity. The deadlock seemed complete. Nevertheless Kamonn DeValera repeatedly announced his willingness to Join a coalition In the public Interest, stipulating only that It would not bind him to abandon his principle. Mr. Griffith wanted assurance that Mr. Do Vakra was willing to permit the people to decide. Mlchae! Collins, however, showed more of a disposition to welcome DeValera'a olive branch and thought a coalition might be utilized to consolidate the advantage already gained which would be jeopardized by a conflict.
