London,
Sept.
30th—Eamon
De Valera
today
sent
a
commuanication
to
Mr.
Lloyd
Georga
aceepting
the
invitation
0
a
einier:ac:
inlonlon on
D2t lita
with
a
view
to
a settiement
of the Irish
question.'*
We
received
your
letter of
Invitation
to
a
conference
in London
on
Oct. 11th with a view to ascertaining
how
the
association
of Irelaud with the
com-
munity
of
nations
known
as
the British
Empire
may
best
be
reconciled
with
Irisk
national
aspirations’’,
said
Mr.
De
Valera
in
his reply.
Our resvective
pesitions
have
been
stated
and
under-
stood.
We
agree
that
a conference,
not
correspondence
is
the
most practical
and
hopeful
way
to
an understanding.
We
accept
(ke invitation.
Our delegates
will
meet
you in Londen
on the date
mention-
ed and explore
every possibility of a set
tlement by personal
discussion.
’’De Val-
era’s
telegram
today
was
in reply to one
received
from
Mr.
Lloyd George
by
the
Dail
Cabinet
yesterday,
in
which
the
Premier
diplomatically
avoided
the ques-
tion
of
recognition
of
Ireland by Great
Britain
and
invited
Irish
delegates
to
an
untrammelled
meeting
next
month.
Todays
message
from
De
Valera
was
the
most
importan:
step
yet
tak-
en
towards
Irish
peace
Arthur
Grif-
fiths
Sinn
Fein
foreign
minister,
was
to head
the
deputation
which
would
go
to London for pour parlers
with a special
cabinet
committee appuinted
by Mr. Lloyd
George.
It
was
considered
possible
by
many
that
De
Valera
himself
would
now
go
to
the
conference.
Great
joy
was
expressed
on
all
sides
here
today
when
the report
that
De
Valera
had
ac-
cepted
Mr. Lloyd
George's
invitation
spread
through the
City.
The word was
immediately
telegraphed
throughout
the
country,
and
a number of impromptu cele
brations
tosk
place.
It was
felt
that
once
lrish
and
British
met
in
a formal
conference,
at
which
they
would
talk
confidently, lirtle difficulty would
remain
in the
way
of
a
settlement
satisfactory
to both sides.
The majority of Irishmen
not extreme
as
some
of
the
Sinn
Fein
leaders,
felt that Ireland
was
certain
to
come
well out of the
conference,
even
if
she failed to achieve
complete
independ-
ence.

IstBurgenland,
knovn
here
as
'‘Wes: Hungary’'
today
pro-
claimed itself an Independent
State.
London,
Oect.
lst—Great
Britain
was
today
filled with hope
of a settlement
of
the
Irish
Problem.
following the
meet-
ing ot the British “’abinet
members
and
the
representatives
of Sinn
Fein
Ireland
in ti e City on October
11th.
[he prompt
answer
from
Eamon
D 2 Valera,
aceept
ing Mr. Lloyd George’s invitation
to the
conference
and
the
conciliatory
tone of
the latest exchanges
between
London and
Dublin,
seem
o promise
that out of
the
conference
would
come
an
agreement
which
would solve
a
problem
which
has
proved
a stumbling
block for the
ablest
States
nan
of the
British
Nation.
I.on-
don
newspapers
today
did
not
assume
that
a settlement
was
certain,
and
they
recognized
the
way
to peace
might e
iong
and
difflcult,
but
hope
abounded
oven
if the
¢ nference
was lacking.
Mr.
Lloyd George
received
praise
in
some
quarters
for
his
skill
and
patience
lln
handling
the
troublesome
preliminaries
and
there
was
hope
expressed
that
his
ability in negotiations
would
be equal
to
the
task
of
reconeciliation.
Discussing
the difficuities ahead,
the
London
{imes
deprecated
the
‘'Dominion Status’’
as
a
fived
formula
to
which
the
agreement
must
conform.
The
Daily
Chronicle
which
is
regarded
as
very
near
Mr.
Lloyd
George,
said
the
agreement
to
en.er the conierence
was
a very big step
because
it presupposed
a wish
oun
both
sides
to reach
a
settlement.
The
main
danger
to peace,
in
the
opinion
of
the
Daily
News,
will
not
lie
in
the
con-
ference
chamber,
but
in
conditions
in
Ireland,
and
the
newspapers
re-
marked,
that
two dangers
were
already
evident,
the incessant
rioting
in Belfast
and
the existence
of
internmen{
camps.
The
Morning
Post,
which
sesterday
described
the
Premier’s
letter§.to
BMr.
De Valera as
a fresh
surrender
so
Irish
rebels”’, said,
‘‘the question
now
under
discussion
is
whether
the comm’\gniry
of
nations,
know
as
the
British
Empire,
is to continue
to exist and thanks
to
the
Government,
even
more
than
to Mr.
De Valera,
the
question
is
well
on
its
way to a negative
decision.
