CONFERENCE HITS
ANOTHER OBSTACLE
LLOYD GEORGE REFUSES TO
RECOGNIZE DE vALERA'S
CLAIM.

London.-Arrangeme for the pro.
posed Irish peace conference are can
celed, but negotiations still are not
ruptured That in brief is the story
OF the latest unexpected developments.
Eamonn de Valera, the Irish repub-
lican leader, having reaffirmed his
claim to enter the conference as the
representative of an independent SOW
erelgn state, Premier Lloyd George
declares that such admission is i'm
possible. He announces cancellation
OF the arrangements for a conference
and the necessity of his consulting his
colleagues.
The premier is careful not to close
the door to resumption of the negotia.
tions. He gives Mr.. de Valera and his
supporters time and opportunity to re-
consider their position; he describes
himself even as laid up" at Gairloch.
necessitating few days delay.
Declaring that there was but one
answer to claim which would be
equivalent to Great Britain's acknowl- |
edging Ireland's right to negotiate a |
reaty of closer association with "some
other foreign power" he reproaches
the Irish people for taking no single
step to meet the generous advances
OF the British government.
The whole tone of the letter reveals
that the premier still retains hope of
some more favorable development.
The letter shows that Mr.. de valera's
reply was taken by McGrath and
Boland to Gairloch, but that the pre-.
mier tried unsuccessfully to persuade
of its tenor.
The fact that Mr.. de Valera and his
colleagues failed to take advantage
II this offer lends a serious aspect to
he situation.

MISUNDERSTANDING that there

1t says that in several states veter-
ans relief laws. originally enacted TO
help needy Civil War veterans and
amended to apply to World War vet
erans, are enabling unemployed ex.

where no such legislation has been
passed, American Legion posts are
stripping their treasures to their last

The American Legion believes
nat mad Congress passed the adjust

rams OF the war. And it likewise be-
leves that should Congress imme-
