plies that
difficulties
have
long
exisied
throughout
the Empire and in the United
States,
attributible
to
persons
of Irish
extraction.
Infairness
to
the
Irish,
1
must
point
out
that
they
have
always
aimed
at
retention
of
their citizenship
in the United Kingdom
and
the Empire,
in which they
are
proud
to form’a part,
and
there
are
not
to
be
found
in any
quarter of the
world
more loyal citizens
than
those
of Ulster descent.
They hold
fast to cherished
ambitoins
and
deeply
resent
any
infringement
of
the rights
*nd privileges
which
belong
equally
to
therr
and
to
-taer
citizens
within
the
Empire.””
The text then recalls the
sac-
rifices made
in
agreeing
to self-govern-
ment
and in consenting
to the
establish-
ment of2 Parliament
in Northern
Ire-
land.
Concluding,
the text says:
‘'‘Let
me
assure
you
that
peace
is
earnestly
desired
by
my
Government
and myself
as by you and your
Government
and
al-
though
we
have
nothing
left
to give
away,
we
are
prepared,
when
you and
Mr. De
Valera
arrive
at
a
satisfactory
settlement
to
couperate
with
Southern
Ireland
on
equal
terms
for.the
future
welfare of our common
country
in order
to
avoid
any
misunderstanding
or mis-
}
representation
of our views,
lintend
io
publish this letter
when
your
proposals
are made.”’
London,
Aug.
15th.—The
Times
in
its
editorial
negotiations
says
Mr.
De.
Valera’s
reply
approaches
more closely
to
the
tone
desirable
in
such
negotia-
tions
than
any
of
kis past
utterances.
It is a reasoned
refusal,
which appears
deliberately
avoid
any
final
rupture.
