"Then"my orders were to come from

of any kind." 1
The sergeant said he asked Col. thi
Hunt whether he should handcuff cai

He stated also that Bergdoll was

LONDON. May 11.?Pourparlers *
are proceeding without interruption
between representative? of the
British government and Sinn Fein }
leaders and will probably result In ?
some definite action toward peace i
following the elections at the ena 1
of the month. Difficulties, however,
have arisen over the fact that most ^
of the men chosen so far to repre- ,
sent the Sinn Fein are without f
practical experience in the problems
of government economics and
finance.
The British-expressed their willingness
to grant full control of taxation.
including customs and excises.
and the Irish representatives
got so far as to discuss .details with
the British experts. The British
were astounded wtien rt was seriously
proposed that Ireland receive
all taxation on Gulness stout, which
is produced in Ireland, no matter
where it is sold. A great majority
of this product is sold in England
and abroad and such a scheme
would be impossible of realization.
This 1* only one sample, but it is
a type of all the difficulties made in
working out a practical scheme. Another
difficulty is the insistence of
some extremists, who are mostly
literary persons and who have taken
no part in the fighting, on the
letter of their demand.
The practical element in the Sinn
Fein has begun to realise this
weakness in its directorate, and efforts
are now being made to organise
a group of financiers and
business men who will be able to
meet the British on equal terms.
