1t Is for ireland to Decide

r there is TO be further yielding in the
negotiations for face-to-facc confer
cncc between Great Britain and ireland. it
must come from the latter. Lloyd George
has arrived at the point beyond which he
cannot. dare not, GO De Valera has in
sisted that he would not yield and yet
The world is loath to believe that an i'm
passe. which means resumption OF civil
war i'll its most horrible phases has been
reached. 1t still hopes that De Valera,
swayed by the knowledge that his own pco-
pie. except for few hothcads, are opposed
to further conflict. will forego his demand
for what Lloyd George fears might be in
terpreted as tacit recognition OF Irish in
dependence. and accept the invitation TO
conference on October H.
Recognition" is the rock on which the
break will come if the negotiations are to
fail and the truce be broken In his latest
and perhaps his final notc-for he recog-
nizes the futility of continuing the long
dTawn-out correspondence which seems TO
have degenerated into diplomatic phrase
making-Lloyd George valves every con-
dition that heretofore he has set forth as
prerequisite to conference or TO the as
sumption by Ireland OF dominion status eX-
cept the unaltcrablc one that there can be
no recognition Of Irish sovereignty either in
fact or in any circumstance that might
lead 10 future charge that Britain had
been trapped into recognition Every
thing else Lloyd George is content 10 leave
for discussion AT the meeting OF rcpreson-
tatives of the Irish people and the British
Empire.
II De Valera stubbornly insists. not so
much on recognition of Ireland's independ-
ent status by Great Britain as on its own
assumption OF such character for its plen-
pOtentiaries. then the break is inevitable.
That he will so insist, in face OF the sent-
Ment OF perhaps a vast majority of his
people against an insiStence that means
war, is hardly conceivable. 1t is more like
ly that he will understand that the des-
perate diplomatic game, the maneuvring
tor position. has about been played out,
with his the deciding move for war or peace
He has secured all and far more than ever
he dared hope for Ireland and he must
realize that il would be suicidal for him to
carry his demands TO the point of resumng
armed conflict.
