The rumours of Thursday flatly contradicted one another. The Morning

Post said that the Cabinet had sent no answer to Father O'Flanagan's message. "As a matter of fact, negotia- tions of any kind are at an end . . . the Labour leaders have apparently come to the decision that the much-advertised delegation of inquiry will not be fruitful of the unexpected results. Mr. Henderson and Mr. Adamson do not intend to rejoin their colleagues, and the delegation is coming home some- time next week." On the other hand, the' Times of Thursday said that the Irish republicans were still feeling for peace, and that the situation was not "nearly so black as appeared- on tba -

surface." Mr. Lloyd George, it was added, had had a long interview with an Australian Roman Catholic Archbishop.
