IRISH DEADLOCK IN LONDON.
ELECTIONS DISPUTE.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyriglr Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, May 31.
According to the “Daily Chronicle.*’ the conversations between the Government and the Sinn Fein representatives have resulted in a deadlock. Mr Churchill to-dav wifi point out the gravity of the situation. The Government stands for the Treaty which the Free State representatives claim has not been violated by their pact but, obviously, it has been violated, as the June elections arranged under the pact are not the elections prescribed by the Treaty. The deadlock, for the moment, is complete, though the Government will again discuss the issues with the Irishmen. Great Britain considers it undesirable to precipitate a crisis by any hasty action and will exercise the natience shown during the negotiations for peace. If the Free State representatives show no spirit of compromise a crisis cannot be delayed beyond the date of the June elections.
