 WASHINGTON, July 2S-Views on pending legislation in general and the tax bill in particular were exchanged bv President Harding and leaders Of the house tonight at a White House dinner attended by 15 Republican representatives.

Some of his guests have held that such a plan was inn practicable, although it is understood that there was a general agreement to hasten congressional business as much as possible. Similar questions as they affect the senate were talked over by the president Tuesday night at dinner with influential Repuhli- can senators. At that time virtual decision is said to have been reached that the senate should proceed with tax legislation ahead of tariff. Those invited to tonight's dinner included Speaker Gillette, Represen- tative Mondell of Wyoming.

Muftimillionaire British publisher whose editorials in the London Times caused the British, government to withdraw privileges enjoyed by his papers and are supposed to have prompted Lord Curzon to order the British embassy at Washington to cancel a dinner arranged in his honor.
 patch of July 12 summarized a Lon don Times editorial as follows.
 Tt declares that neither the pre- mier nor the foreign minister is fitted by his position, his tempera- ment and his past career to take a direct part in these negotiations
 Concluding, the Times said:
 :. 1t is for the same reason of avoiding suspicion that the attend ance of Premier Lloyd George and Lord Curzon in Washington seems particularly undesirable. The great qualification needed by the repre- sentatiyes of this empire is character for conspicuous straightforwardness and honor. MT. Lloyd George does not possess this character Of all statesmen in Europe, he probably is most distrusted. In America he is widely regarded as a man who en- compassed President Wilson with his swizardry.'

DUBLIN, July 2S.-An air of un- usual optimism prevailed tod1yl !. Eammon de Valera, republican lead CT, had an informal meeting with some of his colleagues, after which it was confidently stated that a com- munication from him to Premier Lloyd George might be expected soon upon the proposed basis of confer ence
 The Dublin Evening Herald under stands That matters of tremendous importance were discussed by the Dali Eireanna cabinet Wednesday and that the stage of discussion was passed and a fateful and happy deci- sion reached"
 The next move is likely to be another meeting in Ireland between Sir James Craig, Ulster premier. and MT. De Valera, it Is stated on good authority It was somewhat diffl- cult to arrange for this meeting, but according to the infromant" they have got over the fence"
 The obstacle to Irelands controu- ton to the Imperial exchaquer, it is reported. will be surmounted by Ire land assuming a portion of the na- tional debt. instead of paying a yearly contribution to the imperial excheouer. which Sim Feiners regard in the nature of tribute. This solu- ton is considered less objectionable and would satisfy Premier Lloyd Georges contention that Ireland ought to pay something toward the cost of the war.
 Letters which have. been received from imprisoned Sim Feiners' indf- cate that there has been much lm- provement in their treatment.
