CONFERENCE HELD LIKELY (fofitlnned From nrt P George, replying today to the com- munlcstton of Kamonn de Valera on Friday, said that to receive the Sinn Fein delegate to the proposed con ference as representatives of an In dependent and sovereign state would "constitute formal and official rec ognition of Ireland's severance from the king's domains." Mr. Lloyd George said that so long as Mr. De Valera Insisted that the Irteh delegates should confer as the representatives of an Independent and sovereign state a conference was Im possible. The text of Mr. Lloyd George's communication follows: "Sir: I have received the communi cation wlhch you telegraphed me last night. It would be Idle to say that a conference In which we had already met your defalcates as representatives m" an Independent and sovereign stat would be a conference 'without prejudice.' To receive them as such would constitute formal and official recognition if Ireland's severance from Hit king's domain. U. would - Indeed entitle you. If you thought fit. to make a treaty of amity with the king, but It would equally entitle you to make no treaty at all, to break off the conference with us at any point, and by the right which we ourselves had already recognised to negotiate a union of Ireland with a foreign power. "It would also entitle iron, If you Insisted upon another appeal to force, to claim from foreign powers, by our Implicit admission, the rights of law ful belligerents against the king, for If we dealt with you as a sovereign and Independent state we should have no right to complain of other pow ers following our.example. "These would be the consequences of receiving your delegstes as the representativea of an Independent tate. We are prepared. In other words of my letter of September 7, to discuss with you 'how th asso ciation of Ireland with the commu nity of nations known ss the British emnlra can best be reconciled with I Irish national aspirations.' "We cannot consent to any aban donment, however Informal, of the principle of allegiance to the king. upon which the whale fabric of the empire and every constitution within It are based. "It Is fatal to that principle that your delegates In the conference should be there as the represents tiv-s of an independent and sovereign state while you insist on claiming that a conference between us Is Im possible. I am yours faithfully, "LLOYD GEORGE." SELF-RECOGNITION AVOWED British Premier's Invitation Held Not Misconstrued. DUBLIN. Sept. 17. By the Asso ciated Press. Eamonn de Valera. re plying to Lloyd George, ssys that the Sinn Fein representatives already have accepted the premier's Invitation In hi own exact terms. They hsd not asked the premier to abandon any principle and had only ens object In seeking a conference on the basis of the truth. Mr. De Valera's reply was given out by the Sinn Fein publicity depart ment. The expectation here Is Niat It will make possible a renewal of the Invitation to a peace conference. Mr. Ie Valera's reply follows: "In reply to your last telegram I rnly wish to say that w have al ready accepted your Invitation In the exact words which you requote from your letter of the seventh instant. We have not aeked you to abandon any principle, even informally but surely you must understand that we can only recognise ourselves for what we are. y ."If this self-recognition be made a reason for barring Ireland at the conference, w regret It. but it seems inconsistent. "I have already had conferences with, you and In these conferences and in my written communications I have sevefceased to recognise myself for what I was and am. if this involves recognition on your part, then you t.ave already recognised us. "Had it been our desire t add to the solid substance of Ireland's right the veSieer of the technicalities of international usage, which tou now Introduce, we might have claimed already the advantage of all these consequences which you fear would flow from th reception of our dele gate. "Now, believe me. we have but one object at heart the settinr up of the conference on such a basis of truth and reality as would make it possible to secure through it the result which the peoples ol these two islanda so ardently desire. "I am sir. fslthfully yours. TSMMONN DE VALERA." PREMIEK STILLi SUFFERING Rest Essential to L,Ioyd George for Several Days. 1 OAIRLOCH. Scotland. Sept. 17.

M.. Sept. 17. (Spe cial ) The issue in the senatorial campaign between Senator Bursum, republican candidate, and R'chard H. Hanna. democrat, is largely that of whether or not the western states and their unions have received or have actual hope of receiving substantial recognition from congress and the administration. The democrats sre ask'na- for a vote of condemnation and protest on the ground that republican tariff leg islation proposes to close the safety talve of foreign outlet for western raw materials, enabling the eastern manufacturer to manipulate the price of wool In order to reduce Its Import duties. The democrats are telling the voters tnst New Mexico's great cattle, wool and copper Industries will face stagnation and disaster because the dour to foreign markets will be closed. iney point to the statement of lead ing New Mexican bankers that the livestock loan pool plan is unwork- snle and that New Mexico stockmen are receiving no actual aid from it and quot the denunciation by west ern senators of the wool schedule In the tariff bill as vicious. Reveae Bill Attacked. The revenue bill and the repeal of the excess profits tax are attacked as legislation to untax the wealth of the east and to overtax the west.. Mr. Hanna snd Senate r Jones, democrat, in speeches this week have denounced the alleged political and economic crime to the west as due to stand pat republicans and much capital is be irg made of the charge that Senator Curium hss aligned himself with the resctionarles and Is committed to vote for th Fordney bill against ttia In terests of the west.
