possible thnt new efforts would be made
to approach the Ulrtcr Government with

The Ilelfnst correspondent of the
Pres Association says the Irish News
of that city prints n message from u
well-informed Dublin source to the ef
fect that the Government contemplates
an early reassembly of the l?ritih Par
liament. This step would bo taken, It is
said, with the view of declaring a gen
eral election so that u new Government
might be formed which would bo in
vested with tho rljht to formulate do
""mettle policies and appoint delegates to
the conference on limitation of arma
ments to be held in Washington.
"In this event " tho correspondent
adds, "the masses of the Irish reople
mny get an opportunity of giving a
considered verdict on Issues moit vi

PRESS OF BRITAIN
BACKS UP PREMIER
London, Sept. 1C (By A. P.) The
British press expresses surprise and
disappointment at the developments In
the Irish situation, but supports the
action of the Prime Minister.
The Dally Chronicle says Lloyd
George had th empire behind him in
the making of his offer to the Sinn Fein
to confer within the circle of the em
pire and that he will have It no les in
nls reply to calling off tho proposed
conference. The newspaper asserts that
a majority of the Dall Elreann 'threat
en to bring the truce to an end and
cast the country back into the throws
of hateful conflict, " but it wonders if
the Irish people will "remain passive
and acquiescent while the cup which
they longed for and which Is within
their grasp is dashed from their lips by
a gesture of infatuation."
The Daily Chronicle asks why the
Sinn Fein leaden do not take a plebis
cite for authority to accept the British
offer if their election platform does not
Biv mem mis autnoruy.
The Daily Graphic says that Eamon
de Valera's "misguided action" will be
received by the whole British isles with
dismay, and believes that it will cause,
consternation In Ireland. i
"Ireland is a land of surprises," i
continues the Graphic, "and we may
yet hope that De Valera and his col
leagues will have sense enough to see
that their stiff-necked attitude toward
the British Government Is condemned
by the whole world outnide of Sinn
leln Ireland and is the road to utter
ruin."
In an editorial the Manchester Guard- '
ian says the important thing to recog- i
ie Is that a "breakdown and not a
terak-off" has oecured in the IriMh
negotiations. The newspaper expresses
regret that Lloyd George adopted u
"venerable formula" and did not put '
"the most favorable construction" on
w vaiern s words.
"The Sinn Fein portion was stated
without its acceptance being nked."
the newspaper asserts, "but that need
not have been taken as a bar to the
conference. It is impossible for th
moment to admit a claim which would
compel tho treatment of Irishmen as
aliens, but the conference would hi for
Bjucn more practical purpose to dis- i
cover whether we can reconcile tlm full
est demands of prnctical liberty for!
Ireland with the status of a British '
uomimon, tioseiy examined and clearly
defined.
"It would bo lamentable if on n point
of form and not of substance the op-
lortunlty for an agreement should be
oat."
Dublin, Sept. 10. (By A. P i
Prime Minister Lloyd George Is hlnmed
by the Freeman's Journal for the can
cellation of the proposed JmerncBa con
ference. "Mr. Lloyd George,' the newspaper
declares, "made an extravagant mis
construction In canceling the confer
ence on the ground thut lo confer on tin
terms of De 'Valera's note would be to
recognise Ireland as an Independent

rctical objeetiens to -uch a meeting. It
is not y-n too late for the adoption ol
such a course '
Belfast. Sept. 111. (By A. P.) Sir
.Tames Craig, the I'lster Premier, com
menting on tin hitch in tlie Irish peace
negotiations, declared today his belief
thut the questions nt IsMte did not af
fect the six northern counties, but were
matters for adjustment between the
Government nnd the representatives of
Southern Ireland.
Of the otlier political leaders here, n
number pointed to the latest turn in
events ar continuing the I'lster conten
tion that the llepublkan leaders would
p-ove implacable.
Of the newspapers, the Northern
Whig. In its comment, tool; n similar
view.
"Prime Minister Llojd George." the
newspaper says, "ut la't Is alive to
tho futility of endeavoring to conciliate
the Slhu Felu leader", und the only
course open to the Government, if it is
sincere in Its expressed desire to main
tain the essential unit of the realm,
is immediately to take adequate meas
ures to break the treasonable tyranny
which has three-fourths of Ireland in
its grip. The conciliating nnd tem
porizing policy of the last two years,
tor which a heavy price has been paid,
must end."
The Belfast News Letter says:
"De Valera's repfv was more than
a refusal of the Government's condi
tions. It was an ultimatum, and Lloyd
George treated It as such The onlv
way out of the deadlock is to surrender
tho elnim of independence for Ireland.
The Sinn Fein Is now at the parting of
the ways for good or oil to Ireland.
The only hope for good, lies In aban
donment of the impossible."
Corlt. Sept. ll?. i By A. P ) In
commenting on the lntet exchang" of
notes between Prime Minister Lloyd
Georgn and Sinn Fein leaders, the Cork
Examiner emphatically refuses to be
lieve the deadlock is the last phase of
the negotiations, "which every sane
person in both countries hoped would
end In agreement."
"The masses of both countries," the
newspaper adds, "want peace, nnd the
only practical means of reaching a
satisfactory understanding is by direct
conference. There has been enough of
notes and counter-notes. Let pleni
potentiaries of England and Ireland
meet with absolutely open minds and
nithout any conditions whatsoever.
This is probnbly what will eventually
happen. Neither would bo prejudiced
in such a conference, and with good
will a settlement should be reached."
LLOYD GEORGE'S
REPLY TO IRISH
London. Sept. 10. (By A. P.) The
text of Lloyd George'', reply to Eamon
de Valera. which was telegraphed last
night, says :
"I informed your emissaries who
came to me here Tuesday thnt reitera
tion of your claim to negotiate with
His Majesty's Government as the rep
resentative of an independent and sov
ereign State would make a conference
between us Impossible.
"They brought me a letter from you,
in which you sporifically reaffirm that
claim, stating that your nation hus
formally declared its Independence nnd
nnii it i nnlv. vou added, "as renrc
scnUtlves of thnt Stato and as Us
chosen guardians that we have nny
nuthorlly or powers to net on behalf
of our people.'
"I asked them to wnrn you of tho
very serious effect of such a paragraph,
nnd offered to regard the letter as not
delivered to me In order that you might
have time to reconsider It. Despite
this Intimation, you have now published
the letter In its original form. I must
accordingly cancel the arrangements
for tho conference next week at
Inverness and consult my colleagues on
the course of action this new situation
necessitates. I will communlcnte this
to you as soon as possible, but as I nm
for the moment laid up here, n few days'
delay is inevitable. Meanwhile, I must
make It absolutely clear that His
Majesty's Government cAnnot recon
sider Its position, which I bava stated
to 'oU-
"If we accepted a conference with
your delegates on tho formal statement
of the claim which you have reaffirmed,
it would constitute nn official recogni
tion by His Majesty's Government o!
the severance of Ireland from the em
pire nnd of Its existence ns on Inde
pendent republic.
"It would, moreover, ciltltle you lo
declare as of right acknowledged by
us. that In preference to association
with the British Empire, you. would
pursue closer association by a treaty
with some otlier foreign Power. There
is only one nnswer possible, to such n
claim ns that.
"The great concessions which His
Majesty's Government made to the
feeling of your people ih order to secure
a lasting settlement deserved, In my
opinion, some more generous response,
but so far every advance has been made
bv us.
"On your part you have not come to
meet us tiy n single step, nut nave
merely reiterated in phrases of em
phatic challenge the letter nnd the spirit
of your original claim.
"I am, jours faithfully,
"LLOYD llEOUGE."
DUBLIN LOOKS FOR
NEW NEGOTIATIONS
Dublin, Sept. 10. (By A. P ) Al
though the popular newspapers today
describe the letter of Llojd George,
canceling arrangements for the Inver
ness conference as u bombshell, which
spread conscrnatlon, there seems no dis
position on the part of tho public in
general to consider the Irish peace ne
gotiations nt an end, nnd the Prime
Minister's reference to "inevitable de-
Inj " gies rise to hope.
The nrcviiillns indications here nre
that tho desire is to nvold a breach, that
a diligent search is In progress for n
formula which will enable the proposed
conference to be held without the sac
rifice of principles on the part of either
side, nnd that it is possible to phrase
such a statement of principles in a way
to avoid n breach.
The next move, however. It is claimed
here, is with Lloyd George, nnd further
communication with him nfter the Brit
ish Cnblnet meeting is nwnited.
Leaders of the Dull Eireann expressed
no concern over the prospect of n gen
eral election, taking tnc view that there
was no probability of nny party at
tempting to fight the Sinn Fein on com
promise lines, nnd that if one did so
the Sinn Fein would score another
triumph, the result being that n re
newal of the Sinn Fein republican man
date would bo registered by the re
turns. As to the truce, there is considered
to bo no immediate probability of its
runture.
There was little activity nt the Man
sion House up to noon todny. De Va
lera had not nrrived there nt that hour.
Will Borrow Abroad on Credit of
Industries and Agriculture
ncrlln, Sept. 10. (ly A. 1.) Dcr
Tag says the plan being entertained by
tho German industrial world for the
purpose of enabling the Government to
meet Its future reparations obligations
is to raise a private gold loan abroad on
the credit of German Industries and
agriculture.
A Berlin dispatch of Thursdny quoted
the Vosslsche Zcitung an saying it had
learned that nt an Importnnt conference
Tuesday of Chancellor Wlrth with rep
resentatives of banking and Industrial
organizations the latter expressed readi
ness to supply the Government with gold
and foreign bills to meet future repara
tions payments.
Cubans Displace Gasoline With Al
cohol From Cnne Product
Washington, Sept. 10. (By A. P )
Cuban tnxl drivers hnvo petitioned
the municipality of Havana to lower the
standard rntc, as they find they can
tut existing charges one-third and still
mako a profit by substituting nleolml
for gasoline as motlvo power for auto
mobiles, nceordlnj to a report to the
Commerce Dcpnrtmcnt today from Phi
lander L, Cable, American Charge
D'Affalrcs nt Havana.
"A strong movement Is taking place
In Cuba," he s.nld. "t6 replace gasoline
ns the motive power for self-propelled
vehicles by alcohol. The nlcohol Is pro
duced from tho waste of sugar nnd is n
Cuban product. The nveragc cost of
gasoline today is fifty cents a gallon,
while that of alcohol varies between
thirty nnd thirty-fivo cents."

LABORITE EXHORTS SYNOD
Britisher Urges Methodists to Apply
Christianity to Industry
London. Sept. 10. (By A. P.) Ar.
thur IIend"rson, Labor member of the
Brltibh House of Commons, In dis
cussing human needs in modern indus
try before the World's Methodist Con
ference today, declared tho problem of
just distribution of wealth remained un
changed. If this was to be accom
plished, he said, the churches must see
that Christian principles were applied
in industry.
"The time has gone when men and
women could bo treated us cogs In the
inachincr of wealth production," Mr.
Henderson asserted. "Tho churches
must assert the fact that the worker
is first a man with u human claim
to a full life."

nted his advice, urging the eight-hour
day and profit-sharing.
