II was made evident that the Sim
FeinerS were trying To bring Ulster in
to accord with the South So that the
conversations with the British govern
ment might be renewed and possibly
a counter offer made to Lloyd George.
The attitude hitherto assumed by Sir
james Craig and his colleagues dld
not promise well for the success of
that effort Indeed, Ulster has been
the stumbling block all through the
negotiations.
70 the unprejudiced mind the Brit
ish offer seems extremely liberal Civ
ug to Ireland equal membership as a
dominion In the British empire, with
ull control of It's finances, posts, army
aud internal government, and demand
ing little except loyalty to the EN-
pire. control OF the seas about Ireland
and certain military and aviation
rights Ii was specified, also, that
coercion should not be employed
against Ulster. and De Valera has de-
clared southern Ireland can be brought
into an Irish dominion without the
use of force. He meant by the use
of the commercial boycott and SINH
lar measures, but General SHUTS Is
confident that time and experience
will bring about the same result ami

II was thought the action of the

is "subyersive of the principle that

In addressing Dali Eireann, DE
Valera declared Lloyd George had not
offered to Ireland the status of do
minion government, because no Ire
land was mentioned in the terms, only
two broken pieces of Ireland and be-
cause dominions have the right to
secede, but Ireland must stay within
the empire whether or not ii wishes
to do SO. Said he: "Only on a basis
of our recognition AS an Irish repub-
lie will We deal with any nation or
foreign country whatever. The only
government the people of Ireland rec
ognize is the ministry of the Dali
Eireann.
He bitterly scored the British gov
ernment, declaring ii was practically
impossible To negotiate with II be-
cause of its lack of principle and
cited the many Inconsistencies" of
Lloyd George; but the reservations in
his speech, expressed and implied,
seemed 10 leave the way open for
further negotiations.
Although Lloyd George declared his
offer was the utmost the British gov
ernment could make, IL is just possible

Irish principle of independence. Dub

might offer the same terms To Great
Britain by treaty as between two
free and independent nations.
one thing is fairly certain: IL the
British offer comes to naught and war
fare is resumed, the British govern
ment will start in whole-heartedly to
clean up the Emerald Isle and that
with the practically unanimous sup
port of the people of the rest of the
empire. All factions in the United
Kingdom now admit that the premier
has made sincere effort TO pacify
Ireland and right her wrongs, and II
he feels compelled to defend the gov
ernment's position by force of arms,
his course will be generally justified.
Throughout the world the real friends
of Ireland who have been watching
her struggle with interest and concern
will regret deeply the irreconcllabillty
of her leaders. Already the British
are preparing for possible resump-
tiOn of hOslilities.
