Lloyd George Makes Reply.

Dublin. Aug. 15.-The reply Of the
British prime minister, Mr.. Lloyd
George. to the recent communication
regarding the British governments
peace proposals from Eamonn De Va
lera, the Irish Republican leader. was
presented to Mr.. De Valera yesterday
morning. the Dahl Eireann, or Irish
Republican parliament announced
yesterday afternoon. The proposed re-
ply E the Irish Republican ministry
to the latest communication from the
British government and the corre-,
spondence between the British gov
ernment and the Irish leaders will be
submitted to the Dali Eireann at its
forthcoming meeting.
Prcmier's Reply.
Mr.. Lloyd Georges reply which was
dated Aug. 3, was as follows:
The earlier part Of your letter is
so much opposed to our fundamental
position that we feel bound to leave
you in no doubt of our meaning. You
state that after consulting your COL
leagues you confirm your declaration
that our proposals are such as the
Dali Eireann could not and the Irish
people would not accept. You add that
the outline given by our draft Is self
contradictory and that the principle of
the pact offered you is not easy to de-
our position absolutely clear. 81
Nothing to he Gained.
I'm our opinion, nothing is to be
gained by prolonging the theoretical.
discussion on the national status
which you may be willing to accept. as
compared with that of the great self
governing dominiops of the British
commonwealth. but we must direct
your attention to one point on which
you lay some emphasis. and on which
no British government can compro-
mise. namely, the claim that we
should acknowledge the right of Ire-s
land to secede from the allegiance to-
the king. sSf
mo such right can ever be ac-F
knowledged by us. The geographical
propinquity of Ireland 10 the British
isles is fundamental fact. The his-
tory of the two islands for nnany cen-s
lures. however. it is read. is sufficient
proof that their destinies are indis-S
solubly linked. VI Il
ireland has sent members to- the
British parliament for more than q.
hundred years. Many of the people,
