England cIIngs to Hope

London. Aug. 1S.-In the face OF
events OF the past few days in which
ireland has practically defied Eng
land in the matter of peace pro-

of plunglng Ireland into a war with
England.
II Is expected by government off,

proposals on the peace plan as Of
fered by England, or that a plebis-
cite will be asked rather than com.
plete rejection by the Irish parlia-
ment.

De Valera Is Firm.

Dublin, Aug. 18.-At the second
session of the parliament held We'd
nesday in the mansion house. Mr..
DeValera again dealt with the Brit
ish offer Again he insisted that
nothing less than independence for
Ireland was in the minds Of the Irish
leaders.
He stressed his viewpoint that the
status of q dominion government had
not been made to Ireland. The state
ment that such government had
been offered contained two false
hoods. There was no Ireland mem
toned in the terms, only two broken
pieces of Ireland. Dominions had
the right to secede, but the Irish re-
public must stay within the empire
whether it desired to do so or not,
he said.
During his address, Mr.. DeValera
held out the olive branch to Ulster
by declaring that in entering with
negotiations for settlement Of the
controversy northern Ireland need
not give up its own point of view.
He said he would be willing to sug-
gest that the Irish people give up a
good deal in order that Ireland
might be able to view the future
without anticipating distracting in
ternal problems"
1--WE are not claiming the right to
Tsecede. There cannot be ques.
tion of secession, because there has
never been union" DeValera said.
Northern Ireland has regarded
itself from its own viewpoint, and
in entering negotiations they need
not give up that point of view.
would be willing to suggest to the
Irish people that they give up
good deal in order to have Ireland
able to look into the future with
out anticipating distracting internal
problems. ,vj4te ilsd o
"All the time these negotiations
have meant an attempt to get into
touch with the people of the north
and tell them we have no enmity
and would make sacrifices for them
which we would never think of max
ing for Britain. We are ready to
give them every safeguard any
reasonable person could say they
we're entitled to, and we are ready
to leave the question of the north to
external arbitration or leave the
whole question to external arbitra-
zion.
