CONFERENCE AT INVERNESS CANCELED BY BRTTISH PREMIER Quick Action of Lloyd George on Receipt of de Valera's Let- ter Declaring That Irish Nation Recognizes Itself as a Sovereign State "Only One Answer Possible to Such a Claim," Says Premier. A despatch from London says: The Irish negotiations came to a crisis on Thursday involving the cancellation of the arrangements for the confer- ence at Inverness next week and im- plying the possibility of the British Government having to consider a new course of -action. This new situation follows upon the publication in Dublin on Thursday! afternoon of a letter from de Valera to Lloyd George, declaring that the; Irish nation recognizes itself as a sovereign State, and that it is only t as representatives of that sovereign! State that the Sinn Fein Cabinet has| authority or power to act. A despatch from Dublin says: The text of the letter of Eamon de Valera, accepting the invitation to the Inver- ness Conference, but under certain conditions, follows: "We are unhesitating in declaring our willin-gness to enter a conference to ascertain how the association of Ireland with the community of nations known as the British Empire can best be reconciled with Irish national' as- pirations. "Our readiness to contemplate such an associaiitm was indicate*! in our letter of August 10. We have accord- Ingly summoned the Dail, that we may submit to it for ratification the names of the representatives it is our Intention to propose. We hope that these representatives will find it pos- sible to be at Inverness on the date you suggest, September 20. "In this final note we deem it our duty to reaffirm that our position is, and can only be, as we have denned it throughout this correspondence. Our nation has formally declared its inde- pendence and recognizes itself as a sovereign State. It is only as repre- sentatives of that State and as its chosen guardians that we have auth- ority or powers to act on behalf of our people. ^- | "As regards the principle of govern- ment by consent of the governed, in the very mture of things it must be the basis of any agreement that will achieve the purpose we have at heart that is, the find reconciliation of our nation with yours. "We have suggested no interpreta- tion of that principle save its every- day interpretation, the sense, for ex- ample, in which it was understood by the plain- men and women of th world -when on January 5, 1918, you sadd: " 'The settlement of Europe must be based on such grounds of reason and justice as will give some promise of stability. Therefore, it is that we feel that government with the consent of the governed must be the basis of any temloria! settlement in thus war." "These words are the true answer to the critic-ism of cur position which your last letter puts forward. The principle was understood then to mean the light of n.tticns that hod been an- nexed to Empires against their wiH to free themselves from the grappling hook. That is the sense in which we un-.lei'st:<r. I it. In reality, it is your Goverr^ient, when it seeks to rend our ancient nation and to partition its territory, that would give to the prin- ciple an interpretation that would undermine the fabric of every demo- cratic State and drive the civilized world back onto tribalism. "I am, Sir, faithfully yours, "Eamon de Valera." A despatch from London says: Premier Lioyd George telegraphed j de Valera from Gairloch, Scotland, the following cancellation of the Inverness Conference: "I informed your emissaries who ' came to me, here, on Tuesday, the i 13th, that reiteration of your claim i to negotiate with His Majesty's Gov-' eminent as representatives of an inde- pendent and sovereign State would make a conference between us impos- sible. They brought me a letter in which you specifically reaffirm that claim, stating that your nation has; formally declared its indepent!ence and recognizes itself as a sovereign State; and 'it is only,' you added, 'as repre-j sentatives of that State and as itsj chosen guardians that we have any f authority or powers to act on behalf of our people.' "I asked them to warn you of the; very serious effect of such a claim and j offered to regard the letter as un- delivered to me in order that you might have time to reconsider it. De-' spite this intimation you have now- published the letter in, its original form. "I must accordingly cancel the ar- rangements for the conference next! week at Inverness and must consult | my colleagues on the course of action ' which this new situation necessitates. "I will communicate this to you as ^ soon as possible, but as I am, for the mc-nient, laid up here, a few days' de- j lay is inevitable. Meanwhile. I must make it absolutely clear that His | i Majesty's Government caraiot recon- sider the position which I have stated to you. 'If we accepted a conference with' your delegates on' the formal state-! ment of claim which you have re-| affirmed, it would constitute an official recognition by His Majesty's Govern- ( meurt of the severance of Ireland from : the Empire and of its existence as an i independent Republic. It would, more- j over, entitle you to declare, as of right i acknowledged by us, that, in prefer- ! ence to association with the British Empire, you would pursue a closer association, by treaty, with some other foreign power. There is only one answer possible to such a claim as that. "The great concessions which His Majesty's Government have made to the feeling of your people, in order to secure a lasting settlement, deserved, in my opinion, some more generous response, but s-o far every advance has been mace by us. On your part you have not come to meet us, by a single step, but have merely reiterated, in phrases of emphatic challenge, the let- ter anJ spirit of your original claim." Something That Conerns You.

Greeks Suffer a Huge Disaster On the rii-ft day of the Short Course in Journalism held this week at thej University of Toronto, one hundred and seventeen persons registered, forty-nine of them being men. The class consisted primal i!y of editors | and publishers of weekly news-papers i in Ontario, from as far east as Ottawa' a.nd as far west as Petrolia. If one may judge from the comments heard in the corridors, those in attendance were delighted with the lectures to which they were privileged to listen and highly approved of the action taken by the provincial university : .n providing this course. The sucve.-s of this first journalistic venture shows, as did the short course for farmers last winter, that the peo- ple of the province appreciate the "broaden-ing-out policy" of their own university ari are eager to avail them- selves of the opportunities offered. Ontario's provincial university is lead- ing the way in university extension and is showing its desire to serve its constituency in the fullest possible ; manner. A despatch from Constantinople says: Reports from Angora say that the Greek army is in general retreat, abandoning wounded, automobiles and war material. The Greek troops are now apparently west of the Sakaria River. Since Greek public opinion virtu- ally concluded and expected the fall of Angora, with the subsequent occupa- tion of Constantinople, this severe re- verse, even if no worse disaster fol- lows, must have a profound effect. issued on August 10 for hay and clover, 10,374,000 tons, and alfalfa. 42,720,000 (40,760,500); rye, 9,567,000 1 362,000 tons; first cutting.
