London,
Aug. 28th.--The
Irish negoti-
ations
now
have
reached
the
ecritical
stage
in the
British
view,
as
mirrored
by
the
great
majority
of
newspapers,
including
those
previously
supporters
of Home
Rule and
those
advanced
iiber-
al newspapers
such
as
the ‘'Daily News’’
and the ‘‘Manchester
Guardian’’,
which
in
the past
have
gone
almost
as far
as
the
Sinn
Fein.
I'hey
think
that
the
Sinn Fein
declarations
of
general prinei-
ples
have
gone
rar enough
and that
the
time nhas
come
for dropping
declarations
of jprinciples, and
getting
down
to
the
business
of arranging
the
terms
if
the
Sinn
Fein
proposes
to negotiate
the
pro-
posals
which

Eamon e
Valera having
said
all
chat it was
necessary
to
assure
Irish-
men
of the Sinn
Fein
theoretical
stand-
point,
will do
this.
[lL'he
Sritish
find it
ditficult to analyze Mr. De Valera’s exact
-
position,
for
whatever
light
his
latest
notes
throw
upon it,
there
is the

at least
the
hope

Lhe
policy
of
the
‘‘irish Repubiican
Cabinet’’ wili
be,
‘while
constantly
affirming
Ireland’s
claim
to
indepenoence,
to
negotiate
at
the
same
time
terms
for dominion
status
under
the
new
watcaword
of
‘‘consent
of
the
governed’’,
in other
words,
that
while
eclinging
Lo
the
assertion
of

inherent
right

the
cabinet
will "‘consent’’ to
accept
domini-
on
status,
bargainiug
to the
last
diten
for
the
nearest
approach
to

ence possible.
[t is hoped
here
that
the
final solution
will rest
upon

people.
