IRISH AND british
HOLD PEACE DOOR OPEN
Premier Gets Reply of Valera Re-
iecting Terms and Answer Is
at Once Sent to Dublin.

London.-David Lloyd George, the
British Prime Minister, sent a prompt
rejoinder to the letter Of canon de
Valera, "President of the Irish Re-
public" which rejected the British
governments terms for peace in Ire
land.
The Premier's note constituted q
firm reiteration of the governments
former standpoint, that Ireland could
not be permitted to withdraw from the
empire. He said he thought he had
made it clear in conversations and
previous communications that the gov
eminent can discuss no settlement
which involves q refusal on the part Of
Ireland to accept a free, equal and
loyal partnership in the British Com
mOnwealth under one sovereign.
Mr.. Lloyd George in concluding his
note still held open the door for fur
ther negotiations with FIR. de Valera
and his colleagues if they are prepared
to examine how far the governments
consideration "can be reconciled with
the aspirations you represent" He
declared, however, that the govern
ment could not "prolong a mere ex-
change Of notes"
In his communication Mr.. Lloyd
George preserved the same friendly
tone that characterized his former
letters to Mr. de Valera. He buttress-
ed the governments standpoint by
quotations from Irish patriots and
Abraham Lincoln. He warned Mr.. de
Valera that a needless prolongation
of the negotiations would serve TO
play into the hands of the extremists,
who, he declared, were only anxious
to wreck the negotiations and termi-
nate the truce.
Even after the publication Of de Va
lera's letter there was a curious eX-
preston of continued optimism as to
the outlook, both here and in Dublin.
