Prime Minister'S
Reply toDe Valera

Concession to Demands Would

England, He Says.

London, Sept. l7.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press Prime Minister
Lloyd George, replying today to the
communication of Eamonn De Va
lera on Friday, says that to receive
the Sim Fein delegates to the pro-
losed conference as repree entatives
Of an independent and sovereign state
would constitute formal and official
recognition of Ireland's severance
from the kings domain"
Mr.. Lloyd George says that so
long as Mr.. De Valera insists that
the Irish delegates should confer as
the representatives of an independ-
ent and sovereign state conference
is impossible.
In his reply Mr.. Lloyd George de-
clares it is idle to say that a confer
ence in which the British representa-
tives had to meet the Sim Fein plen-
ipotentiaries as the representatives
Of an independent and sovereign
state would be conference with
out prejudice"
"To receive them as SUCH" the
prime minister said, would consti-
tute formal and official recognition
of Ireland's severance from the
kings domains. 1t would entitle
them to make treaty, but it would
equally entitle them to make no
treaty and to break off the confer
ence at any poi2t and negotiate
union of Ireland with a foreign
power.
"The government is prepared to
discuss how the association of Ire
land with the British empire could
best be reconciled with Irish aspira-
tions, but they could not consent to
any abandonment, however informal,
OF the principles of allegiance to the
king, upon which the whole fabric of
the empire and every constitution in
