BRITISH CABINET INVITES
IRISH ENJOYS TO CONFERENCE
Official Note Points Out That Government by Consent Of
Governed Is Fundamental part Of British Con-
stitutional Development

LONDON, Sept. S.-President de
Valera was invited to bring Irish
plenijotentiaries to meet with a spe-
cial committee of the British cabinet
and discuss the Irish situation face
to face on or about September 20, in
note sent by the cabinet to ireland
yesterday and made public today.
The British note points out to de
Valera that government by consent OF
the governed is a fundamental par.
OF British constitutional develop
ment. but insists an Interpretation OF
that principle which would commit
the government to grant any demands
the Irish might present, cannot be
accepted as basis for the proposed
conference"
Ireland must remain within the
empire. the British note says.
The note said: "The principle OF
government by consent of the gov.
erned Is a fundamental part of Brit.
ish constitutional development, but
we cannot accept as basis for q
practical conference an interpreta-
tion OF that principle which will COM
init US to grant any demands you
might present, even to the extent OF
setting up republic and repudiating
the crown.
"You are aware that conference
on such a basis is impossible.
$50 applied, the principle of gov
ernment by consent of the governed
would undermine the fabric of any
democratic state and drive the civil
ICED world to tribalism.
"On the other hand. we invite you
to discuss our proposals ON their
merits.
I'm order that you may not doubt
the scope or sincerity of our inten.
tions, It is open to you to raise at the
conference the subject of guarantees
on any reasonable point, without
prejudicing the proposals.
His majesty's government is loath
to believe that you will insist upon
rejecting our proposals without con-
ference. To decline to discuss a set
tlement which will bestow upon Irish
people the fullest freedom for ma
tional development within the empire
can only mean that you repudiate all
allegiance to the crown and all men,
bership of the British commonwealth.
If we are to draw this inference
from your letter further discussions
will serve no useful purpose and all
conferences would be vain. II. how
ever, we are mistaken, as still hope,
and II your real objections to the pro-
posals is that they offer Ireland less
than the liberty we described, that
objection could be explained at the
conference.
you will agree that this corre-
spondence has lasted long enough.
"The government, therefore, asks
definite reply as to whether you are
prepared to enter conference to as
certain how the association of Ire
land with the community of nations
known as the British empire can bes.
be- reconciled to British national as
pirations.
II suggest that such conference be
held at Inverness on Septmeber 90"
