Dali Eireann Reply

Dublin. Aug. 25.-(By the Associat-
ed Press) The Dali Eireann cabinet
has replied to the letter which Pre-
mier Lloyd-George sent to canon de
Valera, the Irish republican leader. on
August 10. 1t was in this letter that
the British prime minister Informed
! Nj. de Valera that there could be no
compromise on the question of the
right of ireland to secede and also
attempted to make clear the condi-
IONS of the proposed peace settlement
While the text of the republican
cabinets letter will not be published
until an agreed joint communicate is
issued. it is understood that il makes
70 mention of a republic, but enun-
ciotes the principle of independence
ard expresses aversion to a resump-
ton of warfare. Thus, it is consd
cred there still is wide opening for
continuation of the neacc negotia-
lions, fact which has caused wide
spread satisfaction and general
feeling Of optimism.
At q public meeting of the Dali
Eireann tomorrow Mr.. De Valera
will explain the motives which led
the deputies to take the decision they
have. Publication Of the Joint COM
munique, both at London and Dub
lin is also looked for tomorrow.
At the same meeting the Dali
Eireann being a new one, all Office
holders. including the Acabinet, will
automatically go out of Office and
will be reelected. After this for
! mality, the peace negotiations will be
brought up by the President, and
any member will be free to bring
business before the chamber. 1t is
believed probable the parliament will
not be prorogued until the peace ne
gotiations are completed.
Tonight's issue of the Irish Bull
letn, official organ of the Dali
Eireann, going into 4 detailed dis
cussion of what it says the govern :
ment has denied Ireland. declares
Mr.. Lloyd Georges offer docs not
actually propose what it processes to
propose; what it does actually pro-
pose is something no nation could
accept without dishonor."
Comparing the offer of the British
prime minister with the form of
governments granted to Canada and
South Africa. the Bulletin asserts
that these dominions are allowed to
compose their domestic differences
without interferences from outside,
and concludes:
There could be free negotiations
on many matters in the premier s
SIX conditions and amicable arrange
ments arrived at to the common in
terests of both countries. But the
basis must be one of freedom
These words are taken as indicat
ing the intention of leaving room
for detailed negotiations on almost
every point of the peace proposals.
