BRITISH HOPES RISE
AS IRISH POSTPONE
DECISION ON OFFER
De Valera Fails to Convince
of Sincerity of Uncom-
promising Views.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, August 1S.-Optimism with
regard to the Irish situation was still
being expressed today in British off,
attitude was considered justifiable in
the lack Of definite rejection Of the gov
ernment's terms by action Of the dali
eireann, although it was added that the
reports from Dublin furnished a scant
basis for such a view.
Eamon de Valera, it was stated, has
not yet convinced the British Of the
ments of the last two days, the officials
to them appeared SO generous would
be rejected outright.
The opinion obtains in official quar-
ters, 1t was indicated. that the Irish
leaders are still playing for time and
increased prestige at home and abroad
as the result Of the formal opening of
the dali eireann and its businesslike
conduct of affairs, and to this there Is
no objection from London IL ii proves
to mean the continuance Of the nego-
tiations.
See No Chance Of War.
As to the truce being broken and
the warfare of a month ago resumed,
officials stated that in their view there
was not chance Of such a thing oc-
curing.
Members of the British cabinet and
leaders in both houses of parliament
are keeping in close touch with de-
svelopments In Ru6ln, where the Irish
parliamenf is in secession. Mr.. Lleyd
George was in conference with his
minists9s for nearly two hours yes
terdAy., And 1t was understood that the
Irish situation was the principal suh-
jsct under consideration.
The present session of the British
parliament is to end tomorrow and
it seems probable that in that brief in
terHal no decisive step can be taken
regarding ireland. In any case, how
ever. it is believed the kings speech
in proroguing parliament will be
largely concerned with Irish affairs.

The conference took place last night

reached an agreement on all subjects
except the contention of the bolshe-

Bolshevik Representation.
Litvinoff conceded the right of the
Americans to select any area in Rus

it would be where food was needed.

1t was said in soviet sources that
Litvinoff felt himself in an immensely

the International Red Cross to aid in
