De Vaiera's Wire Called
Overture for Conference
Dublin Belieres Message May
Erase Impression Caused by
Leaders Letter to Premier

DUBLIN, Sept. 16 (By The Associ-
ated Press).-Men closely in touch
with the leaders on both sides of the
Irish question in conversations tonight
expressed the opinion that the tele-
gram sent to Premier Lloyd George by
Eamon 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.. Lloyd George probably
would not have Cancelled the proposed
conference.
1t is clearly evident here that neither
side to the controversy desires break,
but both factions seem unwilling to
waive points of principle or make ad-
missions which possibly might after
ward prove embarrassing. 1t is con-
sidered here that Mr.. de Valera's tele-
gram to the Premier withdraws moth
ing that he previously has contended
for, but that it is intended to facilitate
decision by the British Cabinet in
favor of further conference.
Two leading Sim Feiners, not menr-
bers of the Dali Eireann Cabinet but
nevertheless in close touch with it.
said tonight the phrasing of Mr.. de
Valeras letter to Mr.. Lloyd George was
unfortunate, since the intention was to
bring about a conference without pref
udice to the convictions of either side
TO the controversy.

This action. Chile claims, would con-

she was proposing this review OF the

PARIS, Sept. 16 (By The Associated

on Russian Relief met this afternoon,
with Joseph j. B. E. Moulens, the
French Minister Of Provisions, presid-
ing 1t was decided to ask all the gov
crnments which desire to participate in
the humanitarian work with which the
Supreme Council has charged the COM
mission to send representatives as
members of the commission.
The commission adopted the text of
a letter which is to be sent to heads Of
governments explaining the motive de-
manding the preliminary mission of in
CURRY, which the Russians refused to
permit, and citing examples which, it
is claimed, proved the necessity for the
mission.
One of the examples cited is that the
Soviet government had informed DIR.
Fridtjof Nansen that the amount Of
the wheat deficit for the next ten
months for the starving people was
100000 tons, while the excess in other
districts where the harvests were
abundant was 100000 tons. which the
able to transport to the famine dis
tricts. The number of persons who
have emigrated into the better sup
piled districts IS not known.
The letter argues that the mandate
given the commission is above any
question of personality. It says the
only object of the commission is to
save the starving millions, and hence
the commission is determined to con-
tinue its work of collecting all pos
sible information and co-ordinating it
for the next meeting of the commits
sion, which will be held in Brussels
on October 6.
The letter is to be sent to twenty
three countries, including the United
States, Germany, Argentina, Brazil,

In authoritative circles here optimis-

Commenting on the tentative agendA

it confirms the idea that the United

United States desires to conclude an

a substitute for the alliance.

"Nichi Nichi," proposes to apply the

Racial Equality Not on

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 (By

question of immigration and
racial equality is understood not
to have been included in the list of
subjects recently proposed by the
American government for discus
sion at the Conference on the
Limitation of Armament.
This circumstance, coupled with
the attitude of the Japanese gov

that subject at the conference, is
generally taken here to indicate
that the point probably will not
be raised in making up the con-

BRUSA, Asia Minor, Sept. 16 (By

George of Greece narrowly escaped
capture by mounted Turkish irregulars
while en- route to this city from the
battle front this week. The motor car
in which the Crown Prince, General
Stratigos and other officers were trav-

just after it had left the west bank of
the Sakara River. Turks opened fire
from hillside. The bullets came close
to the Prince, but the driver speeded
up the car and the party escaped.
This was the second close call the
Prince had within a fortnight. While
he was at general headquarters, at
Uzumbek, an attempt to capture him
was made by Turkish irregulars, who
evidently planned to make the whole
general staff prisoners. The attack
was frustrated, however, by machine
gun and rifle fire

Mr.. Daugherty adds, however that
he does not think the power would
exist in the case of an adjournment OF
five or eleven days, instead Of twenty
eight. as such period would not CON
stitute the recess intended by the Con

the power to make recess appointments
although a line of demarcation could

strong feeling against the Ultra Con-

cceedingly irritated by De yalera's
fencing.
A roundabout rumor from Dublin has
1T that Parliament will reassemble be-
fore October 1S, with view to a CEN
eral election. but there is nothing to
support this story. Lloyd George has
no political opposition worthy the
name in his present stand.
Inevitably in the course of whatever
negotiations Lloyd George engages in
whether they be over coal strike or
over some Anglo-French question, there
comes crisis when it seems that all
hope must be abandoned, but the his
tory of his negotiations reveals that
this is the very moment when a COM
promise is nearest.
Door Is Kept Open
To-day's comment emphasizes that
the Premier has not completely shut
the door to an Irish agreement. The
Irish press refuses to admit that the
last word has been spoken and Sim Fein
sympathizers declare De Valera had
no expectation that his letter would be
interpreted as it was. They point to the
selection of the Sim Fein delegates
as proof of De Valera's sincerity.
"The Evening Standard" suggests that
the government send a message to the
Dali Eireann stating:
"You reaffirm your claim to inde-
pendence and we refuse and always
shall refuse to recognize that claim
If you choose to come to a conference
with that knowledge, come"
"The Evening News" on the other
hand, suggests that plebiscite be held
in Ireland to decide whether a majority
want q settlement or will stand by De
Valera's demands.
