to-day. adding that the northern sec
tion Of Ireland will under no cir
cumstances be subordinated to the
South.
1--WE have our own government:
we intend to keep it We consider
that the London peace conferences do
not affect US. They are too nebulous
thus far. II Sim Fein shows signs
of returning sanity and friendliness
toward us, then there will be time
to talk OF a united Ireland"
Mr.. Pollock declared that a united
Ireland will result only from equal
rights for the two sections: that
Ulster will confer with Sim Fein
leaders II the proper sort OF invitation
rather have a customs barrier be
tween it and the South than between
it and England.
1--WE don't care whether South Ire
land becomes a province. dominion or
republic" he said. I'm any event we
will do our utmost to insure peaceful
cooperation, which is necessary for
Irelands welfare. But the settlement
lmust not impair listers connection
with the empire in favor of a group of
men who have shown great destruc-
tive but no constructive ability. Ulster
cannot countenance the south's cam
paign Of red Indian warfare. We
realize the two sections must c.

we will not permit ourselves to be
subordinated to a Dublin Government
founded on such warfare. With Ulster
given equal representation. l don't
doubt a scheme can be evolved to let
the two sections live as they must in
peace and good will"
DUBLIN. July CA reply from
: the Sim Fein to Lloyd Georges pro-
posals for peace in Ireland will prob
ably go forward this week. No init
nation as to what this answer will
be has been given out from an,
source, but the Irish Bulletin. oigar
OF the Dali Eireann, in an article
that the Sim Fein will accept NJ
terms that deny the right Of self
determination.
The Bulletin goes on to say thaI
the Irish will return TO the wilder
ness rather than accept anything
compromising national honor and na
tional independence.
Repudiating any desire to coerce
Ulster, because 1t Knows too wei
the futility Of such repression" the
Bulletin says, what we rely upon ID
the irresistible and unifying influence
OF common interests and common
citizenship"
In conclusion, the Bulletin declare:
It is fallacious to suppose that the
Irish national movement is merely {
matter OF money and can be settled
by fiscal autonomy.
1t says that Ireland has the rgh
to control her finances. and the pri
mary demand regardless of all other
is that Ireland should he free. NOthin,
can satisfy that demand but full ma
tional independence ...
