Lloyd Georges Reply

Lloyd George replied as follows:
 ' had hoped that with moderation and common sense on both sides it might have been possible to reach an understanding which would stop strife In Ireland and pave the way to re- conciliation. You now imply that in your judgment the only road to peace Is the recognition Of an Irish republic and negotiation of treaty with some one you designate as the official head of that republic.
 Il have never failed to make it clear there is no possibility of sci tlement so long as the Sim Fein de- mands an Irish republic and although am willing to explore every avenue toward an honorable constitutional settlement. there is no read to p-r-- so long as the Sim Fein persists in trying to compel any settlement by means of assassination and violence. The only way to peace is that the leaders of the Sim Fein should rec osnize these fundamental facts: their present policy is only lD-.ing Ireland ever nearer to chaos and ruin.
