The following proclamation issued by Mr. De Valera is signi- Acant:-During the trace each soldier and citizen must regard Your discipline himself as the custodian of the nation's honour. must prove this is a struggle organised by the nation.” In the negotiations initiated, your representatives will do their utmost to secare a just and peaceful termination of the struggle, but his tory, particularly our history, and the character of the issue to be decided are a warning against undue considence. An unbending determination to endure all that may still be necessary and fortitude such as you have shown in all recent sufferings, may be required. These alone will lead to a desired peace. Should forco be resum ed against our nation, you must be ready on your part once more to resist. Thus alone will you secure the final abandonment of force and acceptance of justice as arbiter.

The Sunday Express expects that Mr. Lloyd George will meet Mr. De Valera within a few days. The Cabinet is determined that no time shall be lost. It declares that General Smuts, who has done so much to

create a hopeful atmosphere, will take a prominent Lord part in the negotiations if the Irish representatives agree. Derby's insistence last night that we must be prepared to make sacrifces, even to the extent of giving full financial control to Ireland, but with restrictions as regards the national debt, the Army and Navy, to secure a settlement, indicates that a new spirit is abroad. It reports that Mesars. McNeil, Michael and Collins Jare likely to accompany Mr. De Valera to London.

London, July 10.

A revelation of the great part played by the King, not only in connection with Ireland but in removing the threatened hitch to the Anglo-American relations, is made by the Observer, which says that the statement made by the Premier in the House of Commons on July 7th with regard to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance threatened to endanger the project of the Pacific conference, be- cause the American Government could not usefully enter into a co ference as the result of a British suggestion which would be deroga. tory to President Harding's position, and which might easily have seemed to many Americans to be a manoeuvre in the interests of Japan. The King and the American Ambassador had an eamest and important conversation at the Ball at Buckingham Palace on the evening of July 7th in honour of the Belgian King and Queen, following which the Premier's words about "replies received from the Laited States" were deleted from Hansard. Thas it is left to the United States not only to issue a formal invitation to the conference but also to propose terms of reference.
