BRITISH ANSWER
CONTINUED from Page ons)

WINGED that a further interchange Of
notes was useless. One minister, who
had been in personal contact with
Sim Fein opinion, said he was in
formed that it was the real intention
of its leaders to secure a plebiscite OF
the Irish people after a further eX-
change of notes and to ensure that
such plebiscite resulted in a mandate
for a conference.
After the conflicting interpreta-
tons placed in Ireland and England
on the latest Sim Fein note were re-
ferred to the Premier he said it was
necessary to impose a time limit and
ascertain beyond doubt whether the
Sim Fem was prepared to remain
within the empire. If so, permanent
settlement was undoubtedly possible.
If not, further negotiations were use
less. The cabinet therefore, should
make another effort to secure an
agreement on this point, with all the
blessings of peace to follow"
Thereupon the ministers quickly
made up their minds, and the decision
and invitation conveyed in the reply
were unanimous.

Scrap Over War Win
Continued from PAGE One,

States it's sympathy was with the
cause of the Allies.
General Pershing, however, re-
garded Mr.. Gompers' remarks as q
claim that labor had won the war.
some OF those who heard his re-
marks quote him as having said
substa ntially:
The policies of this republic are
not determined by labor unions or
by any other organizations. but by
the consensus of opinion Of its patri-
otto citizens of whatever affiliations.
i want to say that every Ameri-
can is patriot whether he belongs
to some labor organization or is
just an ordinary citizen, and that it
isn't question of labor unions. it
isn't a question of arty organization,
1t isn't question of whether you be-
long to some association or not
1t is a question of whether we are
loyal citizens of the United States.
] am here to say to you that the
members of the labor unions weren't
the only ones who won the war. It
was the citizens who inherited their
patriotism from their forefathers
who came across in the May7ower
and helped determine and decide the
independence of America as well as
those who have adopted American
institutions as their own. 1t seems
to be about time for US to rise I'D
and say that America shall be ruled
and governed by American citizens
and not by organizations which have
their own selfish purposes to serve"
The incident, however, did not de-
velop into debate and ended with
General Pershing's speech.
Later today Mr.. Gompers issued
the following statement:
General Pershing is quoted in the
newspapers today as having said:
1T wasn't labor that won the war.
1t seems to be it's time for someone
to say that.it wasn't this association
or that which won the war--it was
the loyaly of all the straight forward
American citizens which brought sue
cess to the allied cause
1T Is to be presumed that those
who read the extract from General
Pershing's speech at the Lafayette
hdTHe LAY banquet concluded that
in my address which preceded I had
made the claim that labor won the
war.
"Of course I made no such state
ment and much as regret the neees-
sity for saying SO, there was no
ground for the rather testy remarks
Of the leader whom we all admire and
to whom we all owe great debt.
with everything else contained in
General Pershing's speech found
myself In full accord. / regret ex-
ceedinglys that he should have made

statement, l have been proud of the

Dublin Cheerful

Dublin, Sept. 7.-(By The Associat-
ed Press -Word from Inverness that
the British cabinet had appointed
committee to deal with Mr.. De VAL
era's reply lends strength to the OPP
timism in Dublin that the negotiations
will not be broken. Members of the
Sim F'ein continue to profess conf
dence in the ultimate result and de-
clare that they do not expect renew
al of the warfare.
While there has been little public
criticism here of the method of con-
dCtting the negotiations, some of the
Sim Feiners have expressed them
selves in private that while they real
ize Mr. De Valera is striving for the
best settlement possible, there has
been overmuch weight attached to
what they consider non essentials
such as naval and air service ar
rangements. In their opinion more
attention should be given to freedom
to trade for which Ireland Is anxious.
and 10 the questions of Ireland's share
in the national debt and Irelands
contribution to the Imperial treasury.
On all these matters IL is pointed out,
there is a possibility of bargaining
with the British government.
