as Peace, War and Foreign Policy.

Drbhn. Aug. 1s.-CBy The A. P)- No visible change in the Irish situation has taken place in consequence of the speech delivered in the house of com mons today by David Lloyd George, the British prime minister.
 In general effect the comment heard m all sides after the premier's speech appeared in the evening papers was that Mr Lloyd George understood his con stitutents and that MT. De Valera un- isrstood his.
 The syb-comndttees Of the Dali Eireann today continued their work ana tomorrow will go on with it. They are not having the assistance of Mir. De Valera. who has gone to the country home Of Speaker MoNeill at Black Rock, where it Is expected he will be joined by other leaders in the republican move menL It has been the usual custom Of MT. De Valera since the truce to visit Black Rock, where he invariably serves at mass in the chapel ot one of the mon sstrries. Therefore no significance at taches Co his present visit.
 The sience of Arthur Griffith, founder Of the sim Fein. since the opening of the Dali Eireann has been the subject 1f some comment, and there have been rumors dealing with the possibility of Mir. GriffAh leading those of moderate opinion in the Sim Fein against Mir. De Valera.
 Nevertheless Mir. Griffith has been 'n constant association with Mir. De Valera and the reply of De Valera 10 MT Lloyd George wasi passed on by him.
 There has been no move in any quar- ter of the Sim Fein as yet Indicating . desire 10 accept the British govern nents terms.
 The Irish Dominion League, establish cd by Sir Horace Plunkett to secure a dominion settlement for Ireland, is watching the negotiations between Mir. De Valera and NIT. Lloyd George with he keensst interest. This league has aut forward 9 dominion claim for full and unrestricted legislative, executive and economic independence, but it is of The opinion that all of Ireland's ex- ternal relations. such as peace, war and foreign policy. should depend upon inn 2erial consent.
 Captain Henry Harrison, secretary of the league, has given his approval to the attitude assumed by Mir. De Valera loward the governments offer He said ,oday he thought the republicans wer@ right in insisting that the geograpricNi situation of Ireland should be coverci m express terms in the treaty, srgu ng hat Ireland's proximity to Great BritaI would enable Great Britain to coerce he: nors easily than would be the case w,tr New Zealand.
 In Captain Harison's view, evefyth na depends on the working out in dl'ai! o he premier's six conditions. He saic .oday that he did not think IrelanI fhould be asyed to give a final reply tt he British governments proo )sa,s uh il several of the points had been beer made clearer.
 Both members of the domi- on lcaga' ana moderstes generally such as th' coustitutionsl nauonallsts, are asserl-, -o attach much importance to alleEeS discrepancies between the etter of Gen srzl Shuts, the South African premier -o Mr. De Valera, and the actual term tet forth by Mfr Lloyd George. Sin: Feiners also are declared to be com pialnluE of such discrepancies. and it l. reported they expect Mr. Lloyd Geore To indicate whether he accepted the in trrPrtation of the proposals contained il the communication of General Snuuts.
 It is said 10 be probsble that tn dnrninion league will address a com riunication to NIT. Lloyd George on th above lines unless something tranSpire before Monday, when the Dail Eirean' is expected to take up the paaos n5go tiatons.
