De VALERA SEES NO
LIGHT ON QUESTION
Says Wilson's Letter Doesn't
Get at the Point in Ire
lands Problem. .. o..

New York, Sept. 1S.-Eamonn de
Valera. president of the Irish re-
public. said last night the objections of
the Irish people to the proposed league
or nations covenant are not at all those
suggested by the questions put yester-
day to President Wilson by the San
Francisco Labor Council. The second
question Mr., de Valera added, was
framed too indefinitely "to make the
reply Of any value" &c.,. ..~
Nobody, has held at any time" said
Mr.. de Valera, that under the cove
nant the United States would be obliged
to put down a rebellion Of the, subjects
of any member of the league. What has
been held is, that under the covenant
the United States would be Obliged
to CO. operate with other members of the
league in preventing any nation that
might be sympathetic with the rebels
from giving them assistance.
/" The framing Of the second question
is altogether too indefinite to make the
reply Of any value. The point is, could
the United States recognize the govern
ment set up by the people: of Ireland
without violating the terms of the COW
enant, If, as is certain. the British
Government protested?
''As regards question three, the point
is that the right of national self deter
mination is in no way recognized in
the proposed foundation for the league,

With respect to question four and
the Presidents answer / need only say
that the narrowing down and limita-
tion of the Peace Conference to only
such matters as affected territories be-
longing to the defeated empires was al
together out Of accord with the war
time policy Of America as enunciated
by the President, and the professions
of the Entente statesmen during the
war. The best commentary on all this
is the cabled statement of Ian Mac,
Pherson, the British chief secretary for
Ireland. appearing in today's papers:
when Great Britain. signed the ar
mistice terms she agreed to President
Wilson's principles including the right
Of self determination for small nations,
