London. Aug "6.-Premier Lloyd

The communication was received in
behalf of the Sim Fein by Art

termination league and the so-called
"Sinn Fein ambassador in London"
The reply was drafted by "abinet
committee this afternoon, following
conference btween Premier Lloyd
George and Sir Hamar Greenwood.
chief secretary for ireland.
British Worked Fast.
The Sim Fein note (Which had
been handed to the premier yesterday
afternoon) had previously been dis
cussed by the ministers. 1t is expect
cd that the English note will be pub
lished tonight.
The amazing swiftness with which
the British cabinet made reply to the
Sim Fein astonished London.
The Sim Fein communication had
rejected the English peace offer. but
offered to appoint peace commission
ers to conduct further negotiations
upon the basis that ireland is a self
governing country with the consent of
the governed.
While Dali Eireann has rejected
Lloyd Georges peace proposals, the
Irish republicans are willing to con-
ti1ue negotiations thru a peace COM
mission, It was revealed today when
the text of .amOnn de Valeras S reply
was published.
Dali Eircann, by unanimous vote
has rejected the proposals of your
government" says the document. 1t
AIDES further on: However,. if on a
broad basis peace can be secured. we
arc willing to appoint neSotiators"
De Valera said he had Interpreted
Premier Lloyd Georges letter of July
] 8 as meaning that the Sim Fein was
asked to accept the principle that the
geogra phical propinquity of England
and Ireland imposed upon Ireland
subordination to the precedence of
Great Britoin's statogic interests.
British Cabinet Summoned.
The British cabinet was summoned
to meet today to consider the Sim
Eein's communication rejecting the
English peace offer. While the Irish
answer is understood to be blunt in
tone, government officials were hope
full that the negotiations will be con-
tinucd
one optimistic feature was the re-
port from Dublin that the letter
avoids any reference to the previous
demand for an Irish republic.

Let All Pay Taxes

There is rapidly growing sentiment in this nation against the continued issuance of tax exempt securities by city, county, state and federal governments.
 The Pacific Coast Gas Association expressed this sentiment form resolutions passed its cent convention at Del Monto California which read as follows:
 Whereas, the securities of the Federal Government heretofore issued have been exempt in whole in part from the operation of the income tax laws; and
 Whereas, the securities of the states and their min subdivisions have been exempt from the operation of such laws; and
 Whereas, such securities into direct competi- 4on with securities offered by public utilities and other industries subject the full operation of such laws and thereby materially increase the rates of interest that public utilities and other industries must pay; and
 Whereas, no part of the income derived from tax free securities is contributed toward the support of public institutions in the payment of public debt and
 Whereas the present income tax laws give to such taxfree securities and the holders unfair preference to the prejudice of taxable securities and their holders
 'Now Therefore be it resolved that the Pacific Coast Gas Association urge upon the American Gas Association thatt give serious consideration to this problem order provide corrective legislation to the present m equitable burden it sustained thereby and make all n- come from whatever and in whatever form bear its just proportion of the cost of government and Ehe discrimination existing between governmental Securities and those issued by public utilities and other private industries y
