Premier T.loyd Oeorge Mid In Parliament he would discuss peocp with Ireland if he could f;et Into touch with the Sinn Keln eaders "who can deliver the goods." Testerdav I had nn exclusive nnit au thorized interview with Michael Collins, leader of the "men who can deliver tnent, except as authorized representa tives of the Irish Government. When I told Mr Collins of the great power attributed to him bv the Prltish authorities, he merelv said "I do not agree with their opinion of me. As u matter of fact. Individuals as leaders ore of verv little Imnortance In our movement. It is unlike other movements, because in Ireland it is the bulk of the people who have decided. Ireland's welfare Is a mntter for nil the people to know exactly what they want and how they propose to get It. It Is they who have decided and they who act. Neither I nor anv other man la as powerful as your British friends say I am." There Will He No Compromise "For 7ii0 years Ireland has fought for her freedom and independence, ac cepted compromises and always has been defeated and disappointed," he added, "This time p art- not going to . yield until we establish our claim to recognition throughout tl e world. Ire land today has an existing government. vc have our cahinet. our parliament, our treasury, our nrmy, our eonsulnr service nnd our courts, and this year we shall begin to collect income taxes that have hitherto been paid to the British Government. Details have al ready been worked out and are to be put before the country In due course. One-half of the lucome tares of Ire land will be paid to our government in a year or two. Last year we asked for a loan of 2."0.000 from the Irish people for our treasury. We raised 400,000. Of this sum. we loet onlv 2fl, which was taken by the British authorities from one of our collectors. Expects to See Ireland Free "A government which is carrying on as the Irish Hcnublic is today cannot talk compromise," Sir. Collins continued. 'We may not see the realization of Ire land as a free nation, but our children will." And then he added with n smile "and I think we will too Meanwhile we are busy establishing the machinery necessary to our existence and the ,lmonth running of a modern state.

I glanced at the clipping nnd rend the opening: " 'Dear Michael "Did you get that letter?" I asked. Collins's laugh was a sufficient answer.

I asked, explaining my query further. "Our reports from. America," 'Collins answered, "Indicate the sentiment of the great mass of Amerlcn favors In dependence for Ireland. Was not the action of the convention due to local political conditions and not.to the wishes of the American people? We do not ask nnd do not expect American Inter vention to take the form of sending nn army over to help us fight for our Inde pendence. Wc ask only thnt the Amer ican people recognize through their gov ernment the government of the Irish people, which Is already In existence. The whole wortd Is passing through a period of readjustment. Why cannot the Irish people have a chnnce of living under a government of their own choice?" I raised the objection, which I al ways put forward In London, that if Bngland grants Ireland her Independ ence ns a republic it will mean the break-up of the British empire. I "nld the prevailing opinion In London was thnt Great Britain would never nsrec to it. Failed for 7R0 Years. "Whv not?" Mr. Collins asked. "If Lloyd George cannot do It. then some other statesman will. Why cannot Kngland hnve a government which will tako the bold and fearless step of granting independence to the Irish reople, who never have lived nnd never will live nllllngly under the Imperial istic rule of Great Britain. Kngland has tried for "."0 ears to rule Ireland and failed. Why can she not now give the Irish people their right to rule them selves?" I replied that many llbernl English men nho wished to see any Irish set tlement thought Lloyd George had gone as far as any prime minister could In offering to discuss a settlement with the Finn Fein, nnd that it was up to the latter to take the next step.
