De Valera Announces
Britain's Proposal OF
Dominion Status Not
Acceptable


dublin, Aug. 17,-Eamonn De-
Valera, Irish republican leader,
declared today that the Dali
F,reann would not accept the
terms offered by the British gov
erument, extending to Ireland an
offer Of dominion status.
Mr. Devalera made this declara-
lion at the second session OF the
nail Eireann, held in the Mansion
House, to take up the question OF
the negotiations with Premier
Iloyd- George with regard to a
uossible Irish settlement.
Answer Held Final.
"From the reports this morning
IN the British and foreign press
said Mr.. DeValera, there teems to
!, he doubt as to what our attitude is
towards the British proposals.
There seems to be doubt as to
whether what l have said or
whether our letter means accept
anee or rejection.
"There ought to be no doubt in
anybody's mind. We cannot aud
will not, on behalf Of this nation,
Aecpnf these terms.
1T is said we are offered the
status Of dominion home rule for
Ireland--the status of the British
duninlons. Ireland is offered no
such thing. The statement that
Z ireland was offered a dominion
status contained two falsehoods.
Where is Ireland? There is no Ire
land on the terms but two broken
pieces Of Ireland.
What was offered was not
even dominion status. 1t was ad-
mitted the. dominions had the
right to secede and could get out II
they desired. We are told we must
stay in whether we like it or not.
Secession Not Issue.
We are not claiming the right
to secede. There cannot be a
question Of secession, but there
has never been union.
Northern Ireland has regarded
Itself from its own viewpoint, and
IN entering negotiations they need
not give up that point of view. l
would be willing to suggest to the
IRISH people that they give up a
BOod deal in order to have Ireland
aOle to look into the future with
out anticipating distracting inter
nal problems.
All the time these negotiations
nave meant an attempt to get in
70 touch with the people of the
north and tell them we have no
snlnity and would make sacrifices
iof them which we would never
'hlnk of making for Britain. We

safeguard any reasonable person

question Of the north to external
AroiIration, or leave the whole
question to external arbitration.
