De Valera Argues For Complete Lib
erty, Rejecting British Offer Of Do
minion Status-Propossas Provide
For Self Government.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
London.-The correspondence be
tween David Lloyd George. British
Premier and EamOnn De Valera, Irisi
Republican leader, made public by the
British Government, shows that while
there is a deadlock on the question Of
independence for Ireland, negotiations
still are open. Great Britain offered
Ireland complete autonomy in financ,
and taxation, military forces for hom'
defense her own police, and, among
other things, control of Irish pOsta
services.
In his reply to Mr.. Lloyd George, Mr.
De Valera argued for independence
and offered to submit Ulster questions
to arbitration. In his first letter, Mr.
Lloyd George denied Ireland's right to
secession, refused foreign arbitration
for Irish questions, and expressed the
hope that Ireland would accept the
British terms, which he declared were
the best that could be offered. The
British proposals, dated July 20, said
"The British Government is actuated
by an earnest desire to end the un-
happy divisions between Great Britain
and Ireland, which have produced so
many conflicts I'm the past and which
have once more shattered the peace
and well-being Of Ireland.
AT the present time they long with
His Majesty, the King, in the words
Of his speech in Ireland, for salts
factory solution Of those age-lone
Irish problems which for generations
embarrassed our forefathers as they
now weigh heavily upon u.s. and they
wish to do their utmost to obtain
peace
'They are convinced that the Irish
people may find as worthy and com
plete an expression of their political
and spiritual ideals within the empire
as any of the numerous and varied ma
tions united in allegiance to His
Majesty's throne, and they desire such
consummation not only for the wei
fare of Great Britain and Ireland and
the empire as a whole. but also for the
cause of peace and harmony through.
out the world.
There Is not a part Of the world
where Irishmen have made their
homes but suffers from our ancient
feuds. No part of 1t but looks to this
meeting between the British Govern.
ment and Irish leaders to resolve
these feuds in IA new understanding,
honorable and satisfactory to all in.

l'he main provisions of Ergland's
offer to ireland were made public
shortly before Ireland's reply. The
Cabinet offered to grant ireland the
status of Dominion, which would
have given her a place substantially
the same as that of Canada. Ireland
replied that she would not accept
anything less than complete inde-
pendence and so the attempt at a
settlement cannot be said to have
succeeded. The armistice is still in
force and the way seems open to
further parley. The attitude of Ul-
ster has added to the difficulty, as
she has been unwilling to act with
the other provinces. It was Eng

own way for the present with the
hope that she would join the Domin.
