In a tel egram sent this evening to Pre mier Lloyd George at Gairloch, Scotland, Eamonn De Valera is considered In high quarters in London to have indicated a desire for a continuation of the negotia- tlons fcg lo pacc in rcianu Which were terminated momentar ily, at least, by Mr. De Valcra's ' communication of earlier in the week Insisting on the ' indepen dence of Ireland- and Mr. Lloyd George's1, cancellation of -the con ference with delegates of the Sinn Fcinn which he had proposed for next Tuesday.
