mier's invitation for conference.
The reply raised no question as to
the status of the Sim Fem delegates,
and no further correspondence be-
tween the premier and the Irish lead
er is expected
We received your letter of invi-
tation to conference in London Dc-
tober II, with a view to aseertaining
how the association of Ireland with

the British empire may best he re-
conciled with irish national aspira-
tlons," said Vdfga in his reply.
Our respective positions have
been stated and understood and we
agree that conference, not cores
pondence, is the most practical and
hopeful way to an understanding.
"Wef accept the invitation. Our
delegates will meet YOU in London
on TIE date mentioned and explore

Clark Scores Swann's
Office for Slackness

John Kirkland Clark, coalition can
didatc for District Attorney, yesterday
charged District Attorney Swann's
Office with slackness and inefiiciency
in its failure to prosecute food
profiteers.
"In the last few years." said Mr..
Clark, this particular species Of bird
of prey has been abnormaily active.
Complaints have been made, but no
effective action has been taken. The
esponsibilty can be laid squarely at
the door of the District Attorneys
office. The inef1iciency goes back to
1917 and is revealed in the report of
the work Of the office for that year
Mr.. Swann's chief clerk in his report
told of the extraordinary rise in prices
of food and fuel. An investigation
was ordered by the District Attorney,
he wrote, and that was the end Of it.
Take the revelations made by the
Meyer committee concerning the
wholesale and petty graft in the De-
partment of Markets in the last year
Does any one suppose that the District
Attorneys Office was ignorant of what
was going on? Does any one believe
that that office was helpless to bring
the grafters into court?"
