Lloyd George Says No to
. Valera's Proposal.
DOOR NOT CLOSED, HOWEVER
. Premier Leaves Way Clear to
Resumption of Negotiations.
WIRE SUPPLANTS COURIER
In 1'lnal Exchanges, Diplomatic
Methods of Sending Notes Dropped
In I'avor of -Telegraph.
LONDON'. Sept. IS. (By the Asso
ciated rress.) Arrangements for the
proposed Irish peace conference have
been canceled, but negotiations still
are not ruptured. That. In brief, was
the story of today's developments.-
Kamonn de Valera, Irish republican
leader, having- reaffirmed his claim
to enter the conference as the repre
sentative of an Independent sovereign
state. Tremler Lloyd George declared
such admission was Impossible. He
announced cancellation of the ar
rangements for a conference and the
necessity of bis consulting his col
leagues. Door Xot Closed.
The premier has not closed the
door to possible resumption of nego
tiations. On the contrary. . he has
gl an Mr. le Valera and his support
ers amplest time and opportunity to
reconsider their position. He described
himself even as "laid up" at Oalr
loch, necessitating a few days' delay.
He is suffering 'rom a chill, and It
was announced It would be necessary
for him to remain Indoors for a few
days.
Declaring that there was but one
answer to a claim which would be
equivalent to Great Britain's accord
ing Ireland's right to negotiate a
treaty of closer association with
"some other foreign power," he
m'ldly reprosched the Irish people
for taking no step to meet the gen
erous advances-or the British gov
ernment. The tone of the letter reveals that
the premier still retains hope of more
favorable developments. Incidentally,
th letter clears up the mystifying
events tf the last few days, showing
M- De Valera's reply was taken by
McGrath and Boland to Galrloch. but
that the premier tried unsuccessfully
to persuade modification of Its tenor
and offered to regard it as not having
been delivered.
Early Mots ITalikely.
The fact that Mr. De Valera's col
leagues failed to take advantage of
this factor is considered a serious
aspect.
The prospect Is that there will be
no move now for a few days.
It Is noteworthy that In the final
exchanges the diplomatic methods of
ending notes by courier were
dropped In favor of tbs more expedi
tious telegraph.
The text of Lloyd George's reply
follows:
"I informed your emissaries who
same to me Tuesday that reitera
tion of your claim to negotiate with
Ms majesty's government as the rep
resentative of an Independent and
sovereign state Tould make a con
ference between us impossible.
-Waning Is X herded.
"They brought me a letter from
you in which you specifically reaf
firm that clsim, stating that your
ration- 'has formally declared Its in
dependence and recognizes Itself as
a sovereign, state,' and It la only,
you added, 'as representatives of that
state and as Its chosen guardians
that we have sny authority or powers
to act on behalf of our people.'
"I asked them to warn you of the
rery serious effort of such a para
graph and offered to regard the
letter as not delivered to me In order
that you might have time to reconsider-it.
Despite this Intimation, you
have now published the letter In its
original form. I must accordingly
cancel the arrangements for tho con
ference next week at Inverness, and
must consult my colleagues on the
course of action this new situation
necessitates. 1 wjll communicate this
to you as soon as possible, but as I
am for tho moment laid up here a
few days, delay Is Inevitable. Mean
while. I jnust make It absolutely clear
that his majesty's government cannot
reconsider Its position, which I have
Stated to vu.
Aerrplaare Ismares Hrrearaltloa.
"If we accepted a conference with
your delegates on the formal state
ment of the claim which you have
reaffirmed. It would constitute an
official recognition by his majesty's
government of the severance of Ire
land from the empire and of Its ex
istence as an Independent republic.
"It would, moreover, entitle you to
declare as of right acknowledged by
us. that In preference to association
with the British empire you would
pursue closer association by a treaty
with some other foreign power. There
Is only one answer possible to such a
claim as that.
Iteprsarai Is Vaterd.
"The grest concessions his majes
ty's governmeat made to the feeling
fit your people In order to secure a
lasting settlement deserved, in my
opinion, some more generous response.

the Khartasangpo valley, about seven
miles distant. It has a big glacial
river, about whose headwaters I could
get no information. There were many
prosperous-looking villages and mon
asteries. The first few miles up this
valley we were surrounded by broad
fields of barley, growing quite three
feet high, and by far the best crops
yet come across in Tibet. One monas

tension through the property. The

nects with the proposed boulevard

GENEVA, Sept. 15. (By the Asso

league of nations will be increased to
SO If the assembly adopts the recom
mendation of the political committee,
which today decided to approve the
admission of Letvia and E.ithonla.
Their applications were put over, the
committee deciding to await M.

on the efforts to settle tha Vilna
dispute before acting on Lltb-iania.
Hungary's application will not come
up again until September 22. when
Count Apponyl Is to furnish a'.l neces
sary information. The political com
mittee also decided to recommend to
the supreme council Inclusion in the
eventual peace treaties with Turkey
a clause safeguarding Interests of
Armenia. -
Asirrlrsss Called Capable.
The finance committee, which Is
scrutinising expenditures of the sec
retariat at the labor bureau, today
asked Albert Thomas, head of the
labor bureau, how it happened that,
although the United States is not a
member of the league, he had a num
ber of Americans- on his payroll.
"I find some remarkably capable
men In the United States." he replied
"And it I can find more I will tnke
them on, wherever they come from."
The preponderance of British and
French on the secretariat and the
labor payrolls is being criticised by
the representatives of the smaller
states.
The committee will probably rec
ommend that insofar as possible all
itates represented Jn the assembly
shall have proportionate representa
tion In the executive organization.
- What may prove to be a solution of
the deadlock reached by the assembly
and tho council over the choice of the
fourth deputy judge of the interna
tional court of justice was reached to
day by the special joint committee
named by the assembly and the coun
cil. The committee selected Judge F.
V. N. Beechmann of Norway, president
of the court of appeals at Bronthelm,
to this last remaining of the deputy
judgeships.
This choice, however, must be rati
fied by the assembly and the council.
Bolivia withdrew her demand for
the inclusion of her dispute with Chile
In the agenda of the assembly of the
league oi nations.
Kxperta Are Appointed.
President fan Karnebeek appointed
Vlttorio Sclatialo of Italy. Manuel Pe
ralta of Costa Rica and Senor Urltla
of Colombia as experts to give an
cplnlon on the competency of the as
sembly to discuss a revision of the
treaty of 1904 between Bolivia and
Chile. They will render a report at
the next assembly meeting. The de
bate In the assembly was reopened by
Delegate Lange of Norway, who se
verely criticised the Inaction of the
council on disarmament. The Wash
ington conference, he said, represent
ed a most laudable initiative on the
part of President Harding.
Public opinion, declared the Nor
wegian delegate, demanded that the
league push efforts to secure dis
armament on land, but instead of
handling the question from the stand
point of the assembly ss that body
had Indicated its attitude, the coun
cil. through the military commission
of the league, was dealing with I
from the viewpoint of the military
attaches.
Tho permanent international court
of justice probably will hold its first
meeting in The Hague the last week
of October.
The league has sent cables to all
elected members of the court asking
them to send their formal acceptance
not iater thin Sunday. When the ac
ceptances are received ths secretariat
will call a meeting of the Judges at
Geneva for October.
The judges will adopt their rules
and make all ether arrangements for
the Inauguration of the court.
Two cases have been filed with the
league for transmission to ths court
Both are from the international labor
bureau.
One calls for an Interpretation of
the clause of the bureau giving thi
eight principal industrial nations the
right to sit permanently on the board
of the league.
The other grows out of refusal of
the employers' group in the bureau
to nominate representatives from the
mixed commission on disarmament.
