DE VALERA

that the hitch has arisen heca use
both Mr.. Lloyd George and Mr.. de
Valera are compelled to keep an eye
on the extremists in their respective
cabinets, but that behind both there
also is strong public opinion in favor
of peace, this feeling being as strong
in England as in Ireland.
From advices received in London
the Sim Fein leaders were surprised
by the effect of Mr.. de Valera's let
ter, which induced Mr.. Llody George
to cancel the proposed conference.
From these advices it would seem
that the Sim Fem leaders in Dublin
hold the view thai their leaders let
ter was unfortunately phrased and
that it is advisable to make a furth-
er attempt to bring about confer
ence. 1t appears to be realized.
however, that some weeks will be
lost in the process of attempting to
clarity the situation. There is now
some talk of holding a conference in
London in October.

Dublin Optimistic
Over Irish Situation

Dublin. Sept. 16-lBy the Asso-
ciated Press)-Men closely in touch
with the leaders on both sides of the
Irish question tonight expressed the
opinion that the telegram sent to
premier LLOYD George by cannon de
Valera seemed greatly to improve
the situation. They thought that if
the Irish leaders position had been
so stated in his letter to the premier.
Mr.. Iloyd-George probably would
not have cancelled the proposed con
ference.
1t is clearly evident here that
neither side to the controversy de-
sires a break, but both factions seem
unwilling to waive points of prin-
cipIe TO make admissions which pos
sibly might afterwards prove en-
bara ssing. 1t is considered here that
Mr.. De Naliea's telegram to the pre-
mier withdraws nothing that he
previously had contended for. but
that it is intended to facilitate a de-
cision by the British cabinet in ia
