MOON. Sept. 4-The Dali Eireann's reply to the British pre- mier, signed by Eamonn de Valera, made public in London and Dublin today, mad been preceded in the Brit ish and Irish press by apparently in spired statements that it would ere ate a grave situation.
 Perusal of the reply. however, af- lords little reason to fear the imme- diate breakdown of the negotiations, unless the cabinet council meeting Wednesday should decide to impose a time limit within which Ireland must accept or reject the government proposals.
 The reply shows Mir. de Valera and the Dail Eireann have not receded from their former position. It en- phasizes that the British govern ment's proposals are not an invita- tion to enter into a free and willing partnership with the nations of the British commonwealth, but that the conditions MT. Lloyd George seeks to impose would divide Ireland into two artificial and mutually destructive states. It insists plenipotentiaries must enter a conference untram- melled by conditions, but with that
 
 Eireann is ready to appoint plenipo- tentiaries.
 Except that MT de Valera seems to ignore the premier's warning of danger in delay, the position is much the same as in the last exchange of letters and almost certainly there will be a further exchange before a real crisis arises.
 The most threatening feature still remains the refusal of Ulster to yield. in which it is recognized there is real danger.
 THE REPLY FOLLOWS:
 We. too, are convinced it is essen tiaI that some definite and imme- diate progress should be made to- ward a basis on which further nego- tiations can usefully proceed and recognize the furility of a mere ex- change of argumentative notes. shall refrain from commenting on

League Of Nations Second Assembly To
 Open This Morning

being that the matter involved does not fall within the jurisdiction of the League of Nations as outlined by the covenant Chile is said to have taken a very determined stand. A number of the smaller nations on the other hand, are desirous of having similar controversies adjudicated by league action.
 The Albanians are seeking a chance of appeal from the decision of the Council to have their complaints against Jugoslavia and Greece re- ferred to the council of ambassadors instead of to the league. The Wilma and the Aland Island disputes also will come before the session in one form or another It is not expected that the division of Silesia will come up for discussion and 1t is safe to as- sume that Germany will not be ad- mitted until it is too late for her to raise it.
 Several of the reports to be sub mitted, like those of the temporary disarmament commission, the advis- ory committee on the traffic in opium. and the provisional economic and financial commission, must nee essarily lead to references to the American attitude toward the league and suggestions for future action or inaclion in relation to this attitude.
 Other reports of the same kind. which will provide the bulk of the business to be transacted. are as follows:
 By the council on the conclusions of the committee on amendments to the covenant; by the committee ap- pointed to examine the scope of the treaty registration clause of the CO., venant; by the international block ade commission; by the advisory committee on communications and transit; by the international confer ence on the traffic in women and children; by the committee appointed secretariat and the labor office; by expenses and by the council on the of intellectual work
 Four non permanent members of | the council. to serve for another year, are to be elected before the assembly adjourns and this may provide a spir- i tied contest, particularly over the seat held for two years by Belgium. 1 The little country of King Albert | feels that its part in the great war entities it to remain in the council so long as questions relating to the i Treaty of Versailles remain unset tied, while other countries feel that Belgium should now give way to some other nation in order to make l the council as widely representative as possible.

the fallacious historical references in your last commune 4tion. The pres ent is the reality with which we have to deal.
 "Conditions of today are the re- sultant of the past. Accurately sum ming up and giving in simplest form the essential data of the problem, these data are:
 "The people of Ireland. acknowl- edging no voluntary union with Great Britain, and claiming as their fundamental and natural right to choose freely for themselves the path they shall take to realize their na- tionaI destiny, have by an over whelming majority. declared for in dependence and to set up a republic, and more than once have confirmed their choice.
 Great Britain acts as though Ire land were bound to her by a contract of union that forbids separation.
 "The circumstances of the sup posed contract are notorious. Yet, on the theory of its validity, the Brit ish government and parliament claimed to rule and legislate for Ire land, even to the point of partition ing Irish territory against the will of the Irish people and killing or cast ing into prison every Irish citizen who refuses allegiance. The pro posals your government submitted July 20 are based fundamentally on the latter premises. We rejected the proposals and our rejection is ire vocable. They are not an invitation to Ireland to enter into a free and willing partnership with the free na tions of the British commonwealth. Tbev are an inVitati ton to Ireland to enter in the guise of, and under con ditions which determine a status definitely inferior to that of these | free states.
 Canada, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand are guaranteed against domination of the major | state, not only by acknowledged con l stftutional rights which give them ! equality of status with Great Britain l (Continued on Page Two)

GENEVA, Sept. 4.-Nominations for the 15 judges of the International Court of Justice, which have been made by most of the national dele gations at The Hague court of arbi- tration, are said to assure plenty of excellent material to choose from when the election is reached toward the eCd of the program of the sec- ond annual session of the League of Nations assembly which opens here tomorrow.
 Final establishment of the world tribunal has been assured by the ratification of the protocol by more than the 24 states required to make that act valid and there is every rea- son to believe, officials say. that the court will he in action before the end of the present year.
 Two Americans, Elihu Root and Dr. Roscoe Pound. appear among the judicial candidates submitted. MT. Root has been nominated by three coun ,ries-Italy.

 Few other countries have failed to make use of their full right of nom ination. In a number of instances this right has been employed to accen- tuate the solidarity of various racial or region groups, as those of Scan dinavia, South Amerlca and the Lit tie Entente of middle Europe.

 On Uphill Climb
Republican A. p. Leased WIreJ

WASHINGTON. Sept 4.-An in crease of 1.0s per cent in the number of persons employed in 65 principal industrial centers in August as com pared with July. was shown by statistics made public today by the department of labor. The figures were taken from the payrolls of 142s firms.
 Increases occurred in the number employed in food and food products. textiles. and their products, iron and steel. leather and its finished pro- ducts, stone. clay and glass pro- ducts, other than iron and steel, to- bacco. and railroad repair shops, all other industrial classifications show ing decreases.
 While 1t is true that the country has "at last definitely set out on the long uphill climb to normal" the statement said, ''it would be a mis- take to imbue the figures with a significance. not strictly in accord Snce with facts. It must be borne in miad that the improvement shown can be traced largely to the vast az ricultural activities
 "A happy augury is the very gen. eral increase in building operations. which are greater than at any time since the nation entered the war.
 Other encouraging features pointed out were the bountiful harvest. indi- cations of improvement in iron and steel. marked re- employment in rail- road occupations. the approaching depletion of manufactured stocks and continued strength of textiles. par ticularly of cotton.
 Business men generally" the state ment continued. "are inclined to the belief that the worst part of the de- pression is over.'
