which, had shown sympathy with the
most extreme of tho Irish claims they
are regarded as the utmost w"hich the
empire can reasonably offer or Ire
land expect.
"The only criticism of them I had
yet heard outside Ireland is from
those who maintain that our pro
posals have overstepped both warrant
and wisdom In their liberality. Your
letter showa no recognition of this,
and further negotiations must. 1 fear,
be futile, unless some definite prog
ress is mada toward acceptance of a
basis.
Freedom Is Pointed Oat.
"Tou declare our proposals Involve
the surrender of Ireland's whole na
tional tradition and reduce her to
subservience. What are the facts?
Under the settlement we outlined
Ireland would control every -nerve
and fiber of her national existence.
She would speak her own language
and make her own religious life; Bhe
would have complete power over tax
ation and finance, subject only to an
agreement for keeping trade and
transport as free as possible between
herself and CJiea-t Britain. her best
market.
'"She would have uncontrolled au
thority over education and ' all the
moral and spiritual interests of her
race; she would have it also over
law and order, over land and agricul
ture, over conditions of labor and in
dustry, over the health and homes of
her oeoule and over her own defense.
"She would, in fact, within the
shores of Ireland, be free in every
respect of national activity, national
expression and national development.
The states of the American union,
sovereign though they be, enjoy no
such range of rights.
"Our proposals go even further, for
they invite Ireland to take her place
as a. partner in the great common
wealth of free nations, united, by al
leciance to the king. v
"We consider these proposals com
pletely fulfill your wish that the prin
ciple of government by consent of the
governed should be the broad and
guiding principle of the settlement
which your plenipotentiaries are to
negotiate. That principle was first
developed in England and is the main
spring of the representative institu
tions which she was first to create. It
was spread by her throughout the
world and is now the very life of the
British commonwealth.
Healing of Wounds Foreseen.
"We could not have Invited the Irish
people to take their place in that
commonwealth on any other principle
and we are convinced that through it
we can heal old misunderstandings
and achieve an enduring partnership
as honorable to Ireland as to the
other nations of which the common
wealth consists.
"But when you argue that the
relations of Ireland with the British
empire are comparable in principle. to
those of Holland or Belgium with the
German empire. I find it necessary
to repeat onne more that'those are
premises which no British govern
ment, whatever Its complexion, can
ever accept.
"In demanding that Ireland should
be treated as a separate sovereign
power, with no allegiance to th
crown and no loyalty to the sister
nations of the commonwealth, you
are advancing claims which the most
famous nationalist leaders in Irish
history, from Grattan tc Parnell and
Redmond, h;ive explicity disowned
Grattan's Pkraae Recalled.
"Grattan. in a ramous phrase, de
clared that 'the ocean protests
against separation and the sea
against union.' Daniel O'Connell,
most eloquent, perhaps, of all the
spokesmen of the Irish national
cause, protested thus in the house of
commons in 1830:
" 'Never did monarch receive more
undivided allegiance than the pres
ent king from the men who in Ireland
sritate the repeal of the union. Never
was there grosser calumny than to
assert that they wish to produce sep
aration between the two countries.
Never was there a greater miatake
than to suppose that we wish, to dis
solve the connection. "
The premier then quoted a letter
written in '854 to the duke of Wei
lington by Thomas Davis, "a fervent
exponent - tne ideals of young Ire
land." as advocating the retention 'of
the Imperial parliament and the giv
ins to Ireland of a senate selected
by the people; the right of levying
customs and excise and other taxes
the 'making of roads, harbors, rail,
ways, canals and bridges; encourag
ing manufactures, commerce, agri-
culture and farming and the setting
or tne poor laws, tithes, tenures,
grand juries and franchises.
Much Is .Offered Ireland.'
"The Briti.sh government," the text
of the reply of Mr. Lloyd George con
tinued, "orrered Ireland all tha
O'Connell and Thomas Davis asked,
and more; we are met oniy by an un
qualified demand that we should
recognize Ireland as a foreign power.
It is playing with phrases to augges
that the principle of government by
consent of the governed compels
. recognition of that demand on our
part, or that in repudiating it we are
straining geographical and historical
considerations to justify claim to
ascendancy over the Xr;sh race.
"There Is no political principle,
however clear, that can be applied
without regard to limitations imposed
by physical and historical facts.
Those limitations are as necessary
as the very principle itself to th
structure of every free nation; to
deny them would Involve the dissolu
tlon of all democratic states. It. was
on these elementary grounds that w
called attention to the governln
force of the geographical propinquity
of these two Islands and -of the!
long and historic association, desplt
the great difference of character

Separation Held Impossible.
"We do not bel'eve a permanent
reconciliation between Great Britain
. and Ireland can ever be attalne
without recognition of their histor
ical interdependence which make
complete political and economic sep
aration impracticable for both.
"I cannot better express the Brit
Isti standpoint in this respect than in
the words used of the northern a
southern s ates by Abraham Lincoln
in his first inaugural address. They
were spoken by him on the brink of
the American civil war, which he was
striving to avert:

'we cannot separate. We cannot re

It is impossible then to make that

than "befois). . . . Suppose you go
to war, you cannot fight always; and
when after such loss on both sides
and no gain for either you cease

Your letter seems to us, unfor
tunately, to show no such progress.
In this and my previous letters, I

which must govern the attitude of

De Valera in his letter rejecting the
British offer, said:
We have not sought war, nor ao
we seek war; but if war be made upon
us we must defend ourselves and we
hall do so. We long to end the con-

and." he added.
The letter, which bore the date or

my reply of August 10 has been
confirmed. I laid the proposals of
your government before, the Dail
Eireann and by a unanimous vote it
has rejected them.
From your letter of August is It
was clear that the principle we are
asked to accept was that the 'geo
graphical propinquity of Ireland to
Great Britain imposed the condition
of the subordination of Ireland's right
to Great Britain's strategic interests,
as she conceived them, and that the
very length and persistence of the
efforts made in the past to compel
Ireland's acquiescence in a foreign
domination imposed the condition of
acceptance of that domination now.
Liberty la Discussed.
"We cannot believe tnat your gov
ernment intended to commit itself to'
the principle of sheer militarism, de
structive of international morality
and fatal to the world's peace. If a
small nation's right to independence
is forfeit when a more powerful neigh
bor covets its territory for military
or other advantages it is supposed to
confer, there is an end to liberty. Jso
longer can any small nation claim
the right to a separate existence. Hoi
land and Denmark can be made sub
servient to Germany. Belgium to Ger
many or to France, Portugal to Spain.
If nations that have been forcibly
annexed to an empire lose thereby
their title to independence there can
be forthwith no rebirth to freedom.
In Ireland's case, to speak of her
seceding from a partnership she has
not accepted or from an allegianace
which she has not undertaken to ren
der is fundamentally false, just as the
claim to subordinate her independence
to British strategy is fundamentally
unjust. To neither can we, as repre
sentatives of the nation, lend coun
tenance.
If our refusal to betray our na
tion's honor and the trust that has
been reposed in us is to be made an
issue of war by Great Britain, we de
plore it. We are as conscious of our
responsibilities to the living as we
are mindful of principle or of our ob
ligations to the heroic dead.
End of Conflict Wanted.
"We have not sought war, nor do
we seek war; but if war be made upon
us we must defend ourselves and shall
do so, confident that whether our
defense be successful or not, no body
of representative Irishmen or Irish
women will ever propose to the nation
the surrender of Its birthright.
"We long to end the conflict be
tween Great Britain and Ireland. If
your government be determined to
impose its will upon us by force and
antecedent to negotiations to lnsis
upon conditions that involve a sur
render of our whole national position
and make negotiation a mockery, the
responsibility for the continuance of
the conflict rests upon you.

Further Argnmemts on Claims " of
Ireland Expected Before Pre
mier's Reply Is Received. .
DUBLIN, Aug. 26. (By the Assocl
sted Press.) The letter of Premier
Lloyd George to Eamonn de Valera
was received in Dublin late tonight.
Its contents came as a surprise to the
Sinn Feiners. They had expecteed fur
ther arguments on the claims of Ire
land they had raised, instead of a rep
etitlon of the essential conditions of
the British government made known
to Mr. de Valera at the conference in
Downing street a month ago. A meet
ing of the Dail Eireann was hurriedly
summoned for tomorrow morning to
consider the situation.
In Dublin castle quarters tonight
the last sentences in the premier's let
let are considered as making possible
further meetings for discussions of
the situation with representatives of
the Sinn Feiners unless they regard
the words of the premier as a chal
lenge.
Warfare Possibility Hinted.
There is reason to believe that the
peopld do not desire a resumption of
the warfare, at which the premier
plainly hints as a possibility in case
there is delay In ending the contro
versy. It is thought the fear ex
pressed by Mr. Lloyd George in this
respect is based on reports he has
received of widespread drilling
throughout the country by the Sinn
Feiners. They declared that they do
not regard such activity as a breach
of the truce, asserting that equal ac
tivity has prevailed in the military
barracks and that machine gun prac
tice awakens the Dublin citizenry
every morning.
The general impression in Sinn Fein
and other circles here today was that
the exchanges between Mr. de Valera
and Mr. Lloyd George constituted
only a new stage in the prolonged
negotiations.
Secret Session Is Held.
After today; s public session of. the
Dail Eirmann, at which Eamon de
Valera was unanimously elected
leader of the Irish republicans with
the title of "president of the Irish
republic," and Arthur Griffith, found
er of the Sinn Fein, was chosen vice
president, a secret Bession of the
parliament was held. According to
the official report only ordinary
business was transacted.
Mr. do Valera in accepting re-election
said he had been credited with
doing things that had been done by
his comrades, mentioning Mr. Grif
fith, Michael Collins and others, tie
added that there never had been ait.
ferences between himself and his
colleagues and tha' u u ,v-- iir'
arrested him' at Black. Rock they
found on him a document signed by
the ministry which proved his as
sertion. Two Loans Sanctioned.
During the session of parliament
today an internal loan of 500,000
pounds and a loan in the United
Ptates of $20,000,000 was sanctioned.
Both Mr. De Valera and Michael Col-
41 n a declared that these loans would
not be subscriptions, but loans which
would be repaid.
Mr. De Valera pointed out that the
aggregate amount of the loans did
not equal what Great Britain "had
extracted from Ireland in two months
in the form of taxes."
The Irish Bulletin tonight recorded
the arrest last week of three alleged
government spies charged with
watching members of the Dail Eire
ann outside Mansion house. This was
repudiated by Dublin castle, where it
was said the men were on leave of
absence.
Today Sinn Feiners made three ad
ditional arrests of similar alleged
offenders. One of these was inside
Mansion House, where the parliament
sits. Sinn Fein leaders assert that.
despite assurances from Dublin castle
many men in plain clothes are
shadowing deputies.
Advices from Belfast tonight assert
ed that Sir James Craig, the Ulster
premier, was on his way to London
presumably to consult with Premier
Lloyd George.

WIESBADEN, Aug. 26. (Special ca
ble.) The Loucheur-Rathenau con
ference, which was expected to reach
a reparations accord has hit the upper
Silesia rock. There Is little likeli
hood that the conference can come to
anything after its first meeting this
morning.
M. Loucheur wanted to push details
of the plan already submitted to the
reparations commission but Herr
Rathenau insisted on a general con
sideration. M. Loucheur, with the pur
pose of forcing an accord insisted that
the afternoon session be devoted to
points already agreed upon, but th
discussion went forward only after it
was understood the results of this
conference will be submitted to both
governments, which means delay un
til after the league of nations acts on
upper Silesia.
Herr Rathenau has the game in hi
hands, as he knows he has England1
backing. It is reported in Berlin and
also here that Herr Rathenau received
a tip from the British not to take the
Wiesbaden reparations shortcut until
he knew where he stood on upper
Silesia. Herr Rathenau's reluctance
to come to terms here bears out thi
report.
M. Loucheur, for the same reason, I
determined to force the Germans to
fix prices, if nothing more, on com
modities offered in the general line ot
reparation, but both negotiators real
ize Herr Rathenau has determined
