IN Premier Lloyd Georges letter
" september he asked Mr.. De VAL
:. era Tor definite reply as to whether
ne was prepared to enter a confer
ehce to ascertain how the associa-
uoh of Ireland with the community
VI nations known as the British En-
p're can best be reconciled with Irish
national aspirations" To this Mr.
ne Valera replied in the affirmative,
oue added to his reply the paragraph
''"W IN dispute, saying:
IN this final note we deem 1t our
eu.y to reaffirm that our position is
aha can only be as we have defined
throughout this correspondence.
o ~, nation has formally declared its
.'uependence and recognizes itself as
sovereign state. 1t is only as repre-
."'atiVes of that state and as its

o .Ny tr powers to act on behalf of

Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1921-09-20
De Valera's Reply

The text of Mr.. De Valera's tele-
gram follows:
Sir, We have had no thought
at any time of asking you to accept
any conditions precedent to CONFER
ence. We would have thought 1t is
unreasonable to expect you, as pre-
liminary to recognize the irish re-
public formally or informally as that
YOU should expect us formally or IN
formally, to surrender our national
position. 1t is precisely because
neither side accepts the position OF
the other that there is a dispute at
all and that a conference is necessary
TO search for and discuss such ad-
justments as might compose 1t.
"a treaty of accommodation ana
association, properly concluded be-
tween the pepole of these two ISLANDS
and between Ireland and the group
Of states in the British common
wealth, would, we believe, end the
dispute forever and enable the two
nations to settle down in peace, each
pursuing it's own individual develop
ment and contribute its own quota
10 civilization. but working to gether
in free and friendly cooperation IN
affairs of agreed common concern.
ITO negotiate such a treaty the re-
spective representatives of the two
nations must meet. but if you seek to
impose preliminary conditions which
We must regard as involving the sur
render Of our whole position, they
can not meet"
Your last telegram makes it clear
that MISUNDERSTANDING are more
the cause Of peace is more likely to
be retarded than advanced by the
continuance of the present cores
pondence
We request you. therefore, to
state whether your letter of Sept.
is intended to be a demand for sur
render on our part or an invitation
70 a conference free on both sides
and without prejudice should an
agreement not be reached.
If the latter, we readily confirm
'nr acceptance of the invitation and
our appointed delegates will meet your
governments representatives at any
ume in the immediate future that
You designate"
Inc communication is signed:
am sir yours faithfully,
DE VALERA.
