BETWEEN MAC DONALD
AND E. DEVALERA
LONDON, May 11.-Negotiations for settlement of outstanding differences between Great Britain and the Irish Free State failed completely Friday.
Irish President Eamon DeValera, in person, may carry the controversy to the British imperial conference next month at Ottawa.
The sudden end of the conference in London left the governments of DeValera and Prime Minister J. Ramsay MacDonald further apart than ever on vital issues, including the Free State's plan to abolish oath to the crown, withhold land annuities from the British and unite the north of Ireland with the Free State.
Britain threatened economic reprisals, particularly the refusal of a preferential tariff to the Free State when the Ottawa conference convenes.
Government leaders at Dublin hinted DeValera's demand for unity of all Ireland was chief cause for a breakdown of the conference in London. It was said the collapse was due to failure to agree on the oath question.
