CLAIMED ESSENTIAL

Prime Minister de Valera of Eire told the United Kingdom delegat- ion that in the opinion of his coi- leagues and in his own opinion, the ending of partition, and res- toration of unity to Ireland, was the entlal foundation for estab- lishment of a real understanding and friendship between the two peoples.

British delegates, headed by Prime Minister Chamberlain, were equally frank in reply. They told Mr. de Valera that so far as they are concerned there could be no alteration in the relations between the Government of Eire and the Government of"Northern Ireland, without consent of the Belfast Government.

Compromise Unlikely

All of which means that Mr. dc Valera still holds that partition must. be ended while the British Government declines to back down from the position that the consent of Northern Ireland must first be obtained. As there is no likelihood oi Lord Craigavons Northern Ire- land Government consenting to link up with Eire the gulf remains.

Despite the sharp difference over partition, however, today's discus- sions covered the whole range of the economic war over land an- nuities, defence and the improve- ment of trade. N0 Mfccmellk‘ were reached.

Members of the British Cabinet will assemble tomorrow morning to consider the situation. Mr. de Valera will also confer with his colleagues, Sean Iemass, minister for industry. Sean McEntce. fin- ance minister, and John Ryan, agriculture minister.

At noon the delegations will get together at No. 10 Downing Street.

Alarm Expressed Ov- er Lengthen- ing Governmental Crisis In France.

PARIS. Jan. 18-—(Tuesdsy)— (Cfllnvasb-Efforts of Camille" Chautemp, Radical Socialist statesman. to form a modified Popular Front. coalition cabinet, to succeed his government which rssigned last Friday, appcured doomed to fuilure todvy by Soc- ialist and Communist oppositi to this form of ILIS proposed min- istry.

PARIS. Jan. YI-(AP) -Camille Chautemps today attempted to form a. modified Popular Front Government without Communist support.

The Radical-Socialist leader was called to succeed himself after four days of fruitless effort by former Premier Leon Blum and Georges Bonnet. Chautemps’ cab- inet fell last Friday in the face of Communist and Socialist opposit- ion to his labor and financial pol- icies.

He accepted "in principle" the invitation of President Albert Le- brun while awaiting a. decision by the Socialist Party whether it would enter his cabinet or at least support him in the chamber of deputies.

The National Sobiallst-Oouncll scheduled a night session to weigh the question. Chautenips‘ success or failure rested mainly with its decision, just as the resignation of Socialist ministers precipitated his downfall.

Deputies said there was a possi- bility of dissolution of the lower house and new elections if Chau- icmps should fail to form a cabl- net as Blum, Socialist leader, and Bonnet, a. Radical-Socialist fin- ance minister, had done. Approval of the President and Senate would be necessary for dissolution. The present parliament was elected in the spring of 1936.

Chautcmps told Radical-Socialist deputies he would not invite Communists into his cabinet.

Meanwhile, the press redoubied expressions of alarm for interior and exterior peace, which they de- clared were menaced by the leng- thening crisis.
