peace in Ireland. The action of the
British government Yesterday in max
ing public letters exchanged between
Premier Lloyd George and Eamonn De

ed the people that virtual deadlock
exists and. although the door is de-
clared to have been left open for fur

tion is one of considerable gravity.

Reports from Dublin which might
indicate what the Irish Republicans
would do to counter the unexpected
move of the governor in giving the cor
respondence to the press were anxious
ly awaited.
The next step will be made in that
city as Lloyd George literally laid his
cards on the table yesterday and it
seems thatDe Valera and his colleagues
must meet the situation thus created.
Purpose Is Doubtful.
The purpose of the precipitatc action
of the government in making public the
British proposals and the demands of
the Irish Republicans has not been dis
closed but it is apparent that the
Prime Minister sought to lay the Irish
situation before the country ON the
eve of the meeting of the Dali Eirann.
The government offered De Valera
dominion status for the Irish with com.
plete autonomy in financial matters but
without tariff or trade restriction be-
tween the islands. De Valera demands
full independence for Ireland and sug-
gests Il treaty of association with the
Irish commonwealth group.
