CROIX STATION. | Londo », Aug. 24th. -The Govt's. peace i proposals were iaid before the Dail Eire- | ann, which rejected them unanimously, | but is willing to negctiate on the princi- | ple of Government by consent of the | governed, Eamon De Valera says in his | reply to Mr. ILloyd George. The text of the letter, which bears the date of Au- | gust 24th, reads: “‘The judgment I gave | in my reply of Awmgust 10th, has been | confirmed I laid the proposals of your Government before the Dail Eireann and | by a unanimous vote it rejected them. ‘ From your letter ot August 13th. it was | clear that the principle we are asked to | accept was that the ‘' geographical pro- pinquity’’ of Ireland to Great - Britain imposed the position of the subcidination | of Ireland’s right to Great Britain’s | strategic interests as she conceived them , and that the length and persistence of the efforts made in the past to compel St CRe lXx AViED Ireland’s acquiescence in foreign domina- | tion imposed the condition of acceptance | of that domination now. We cannot be- | lieve that your Govt. intends to commit | itself to the principle of Sheer Militarism, | ~ destructive of international morality and | ~ fatal to the world peace. If a small ‘ ~ nations right to independence is forfeit- | ‘ ed whe_n. a moré powerfil neighbour | covets its territery for military or other | ~ advantages it is supposed to confer |. there is an end to liherty. No longer | . can any small nation claim the right to | an existence. Holland and Denmark can | ‘ be made subservient to Germany, Belgi- | | um to Germany or to France, Portugal | | to Spain. If nations that have been | | forcibly annexed to an empire lost thece- | by their title to independence, there | can be no birth to freedom for them; in ' Ireland’s case, to speak of her seceding from a partnership she has not accepted, | or from an allegiance which she has not | undertaken to render, is fundamentally | false just as the claim to subordinate | her independence to British strategy is fundamentally unjust. To neither can | we, as representatives of the nation, | i lend countenance If cur refusal to be- | { tray our pation’s honour anc the trust | i that has been reposed in us is to be made | an issue of war by Great Britain, we de- | | plore it.. We are as. consciogs of our | | responsibilities, to the ltui=ce -~ wp are | mindfui of onr cbligations to the Herue | E Dead. We have not sought war, nor duv | | we seek war, butif war be made w : | us we must defend ourselves and s | do so, confideni that, whe'her our | sense be successful, no body | septative Irishmen or Irishw. | ever propose to the nation the s. | of its Birthright, We long 10 en ' conflict between Great Britain and | land. 1f your Goewt. be deétermined t | impose its will upon us by force and to | | insist upon conditions that involve a | surrender of our whole national and | I make negotiations imposzible, the re . spousibility for the continuance of the - conflict rest upon you. On the basis of | the bread guiding principle-of Govt., by ' the consent of the goverved, peace can | be secured, peace that will be just and | honourable to all and fruitful of con- | cord and inducive to amity. To negoti- | ate such a peace the Dail Eireann is - ready to appoint its representatives and ' if your Govt. accepts the principle pro- ' posed. to invest them with plenary pow- . ers to meet and arrange with you for its . application in detail 1 am faithtully | yours Eagron De Valera’'. ’ London, Aug. 26th.--The Bye-election | for Parliament in the Abbey division ot | West Minster for a successor to the ' late W.
