THE PRINCIPLE OF GOVERNMENT BY CONSENT DISCUSSED,
Government's Final Overture.
(Reuter's Service. )
London, September $. The Cabinet, in the course of the reply to Mr, de Valera, points! out that the principle of government by consent of the governed, on which Mr. de Valera insisted in his last latter, is the foundation of! British constitutional development, but the Cabinet cannot accept as the basis of a practical conference an interpretation of that principle which would commit it to such demands as setting up a republic and repudiating the Crown. So applied, the principle of government by consent of the governed would undermine the fabric of every
democratic State and drive the civilized world back to tribalism,
The reply mentions that if Sinn Fein accepts the invitation to a conference it will be open to thein to raise the subject of guarantees; or any points where it may be considered that Irish freedom is pre- judicedby proposals already made. The reply dwells on the desirability! of the conference at which any possible Sinn Fein objection that the proposals offer Ireland less than the liberty described, can be explored. The Cabinet opines that the correspondence has lasted long enough, and therefore asks for a definite reply, accompanied by a suggestion for a conference on the 20th Inst.
Suggested Conference at Inverness.
