De Valera Would Make
Concessions To Ulster
rn.. mi.. *_.t.i.j B.... 1 f rt f.V. n/itUn lnloVi.
DUBLIN, Aug. 17—Eamon de
Valera, declared today that the
Daile Eiream would not accept the
terms offered by the British govern
ment, extending to Ireland an offer
of dominion status.
“From reports this morning in the
British and foreign press there
seems to be doubt as to what our at
titude is toward the British propo
sals. There seems to be doubt as
to what I have said or whether it
means acceptance or rejection.
“There ought to be no doubt in
any body’s mind. We cannot and
will not, on behalf of this nation,
accept these terms.
“There is an Indian proverb read
ing: ‘Fool me once, shame on you;
fool me twice shame on me.’ The
Irish people will not be fooled this
time.
“It is said we are offered the
status of dominion home rule for Ire
land, the status of the British do
minion. Ireland is offered no such
thing. The statement that Ireland
was offered a dominion status cccn
tained two falsehoods. Whore is
Ireland? There is no Ireland in the
terms, but two broken pieces of Ire
land.
“All the time these negotiators
have met in an attempt to get in
touch with the people of the north
and tell theil we have no enmity
and will malt* sacrifices which we
would never think of making for
Britain. We will he willing to give
them every safeguard any reasona
ble people could say were entitled to
and we are ready to leave the ques
tion of t nehtorhshrdluetaoincm
tion of the north to external arbi
tration, or leave the whole question
to external arbitration.
“England’s terms are unreasona
ble. The claims of the minority in
Ireland is unreasonable, but even
unreasonable we would be ready to
consider and I, for one, would be
willing to go a long way to give
way to them, particularly in their
sentiment, if we could get them to
come with us and consider the in
terest of their own country and not
be allying themselves with foreign
ers.”
wnat was onerea was not even
dominion status. It was admitted
the dominions had the right to se
cede, and could get out if they de
sired we are told we must stay in
whether we like it or not.
We are not claiming the right to se
cede. There cannot bo a question
of secession because there has never
been any union.
“Northern Ireland has regarded
itself from its own viewpoint and in
entering negotiations they need not
give up that point of view. I would
bo willing to suggest to the Irish
people that they give up a good deal
In order to have Ireland able to look
into the future without anticipating
distracting internal problems.”
Mr. de Valera said the Irish na
tion did not stand between England
and the world and was not shutting
up the seas betwen the two islands.
“We have no enmity to England.”
he declared, “at least if this ques
tion was settled I believe there
would be none. The only enmity is
to that rule which the Irish people
hate to the marrow of their bone.”
“It was said,” ho remarked, “the
Irish question was a problem. It
was a problem—a powerful question
-- -
ink to encroach upon the right,
property and freedom of nnothcr na
tion. Human nature had to be taken
into consideration and they who
were working for a final settlement
had to see to it that relations must
be adjusted on the basis of right.
Therefore, in considering the prob
lem they who had right on their
side must count,” he said.
An entirely fresh audience was in
the Mansion House today for the ses
sion. it having been decided to Is
sue now tickets each day so as to
satisfy demands of thousands who
want to attend. As soon as the ap
plause given the members as they
entered had died down the Pall pro

ITALY NEAR AGREEMENT
WITH SOVIET JGOVERNMENT
TBy The Associated PrcM.l
ROMK, Auk. 17—Negotiations for
an economic agreement with the
Russian soviet delegations, the Mes
sage™ said today, have almost been
completed. The agreement, which
Is to be signed soon, Is said to con
tain these four points:
A mutual undertaking of open
negotiations immediately for an ec
onomic and commercial agreement
of the widest kind between the two
countries.
Russia is to afford Italy the same
facilities and advantages as those
granted other countries; Russia is to
give equitable consideration Mi Ital
ian claims for credits with regards
to Russia. An undertaking by the
soviet government that Its delegates
in Italy will abstain from any at
tempts at propaganda in the king
dom,
London newspapers, even in~
who have warmly supported Irish
aspiration, today viewed with regret
the statement made by Eamon He
Valera yesterday. There was reluct
ance to'regard his speech as express
ing Ireland’s last word and some ed
itorials declared that it the issue was
placed before the Irish people the
terms would be accepted. Assertion
was made on the strength of Dublin
advices that the Irish having tasted
peace since the establishment of the
truce would never consent to return
to hostilities and, indeed, few Irish
men believe there was any probabil
ity of resumption of warfare.
Opinions differ as to whether the
republican parliament would vote
acceptance of the British terms. The
predominant view was that accept
ance of the government’s offer would
probably result in any case.
Considerable prominence was
give n extracts from editorials in
American papers, earnestly, advising
the Irish not to reject the govern
ment’s offer.
As evidence of the government s
desire to offer no provocation the
change In Dublin yesterday as’as
cited, it being pointed out no Brit
ish officers nor soldiers were in evi
dence during the opening of the
Dail Eireann.
The belief throughout British offi
cial circles is that the longer tho
truce lasts tho harder It will be to
break it.

After A Long Discussion 1
Agree South Amboy Linel
Shall Quit State Streefl
Members of the Board of Aider
men listened to arguments pro and \
con in regard to operations of buses 1
on State street to Broad street, for
about two hours last night. Alder
man-at-large John N. Wester at the
close of the discussion, said the mem
bers of the board would take all of
the arguments under consideration
and reach a settlement later. This
settlement may be announced at an
adjourned meeting of the board to
be held next Monday night. Last
night’s meeting, adjourned from
Monday night, was called for the
purpose of hearing the arguments of
both sides.
During the discussion both sides
agreed to allow South Amboy buses
to go over the old route. The bus
committee chairman. Albert G. Wat
ers, made a motion at the close of
the hearing, to allow the South Am
boy buses to go over the old route,
and this motion was confirmed by
the board.
Assistant Prosecutor John E.
Toolan appeared for the bus owners'
association, while Dr. George W.
Tyrrell was the spokesman l’or the
State Street Merchants Association.
Alderman-at-Large Wester told the
purpose of the meeting and request
ed a representative of the Slate
Street Association to first discuss
their sido of the case inasmuch as
the bus owners had been heard on
Monday night. Dr. Tyrrell gave a
brief outline of what he knew about
the new route, the approval of
which was given by representatives
of the bus owners association, he
claimed. He requested that the bus
owners tell what they want.
Alderman Albert G. Waters, chair
man of the bus committee put an
end to the discussion between Assist
ant Prosecutior Toolan and Dr. Tyr
rell as to who should give their side
of the case first, when he gave a com
plete outline of the State street plan
and other routings from the time an
outlined map was given to him by
Hugh Hielly, of the State street asso
ciation. One proposition arranged
for in the rerouting was for every
other Carteret bus to go from Am
boy avenue to Laurie street, to Penn
street, to Washington street, to State
street, to Smith street and thence to ;
the starting station, the chairman
stated.
Another proposition planned, the
alderman stated, was to have every
other New Brunswick nnd Mctuchen
bus rut down Laurie street in back
of tho hospital, to Penn street, to
Washington street, to State street, to
Smith street and to the starting sta
tion. The State street association
ilrst wanted every bus to go over this
route, it is said, but the bus commit
tee chairman agreed to bring tho
matter to the attention of the board,
if the State street association would
be reasonable in their demands.
Alderman Waters stated he took
the matter up with the bus owners, in
an effort to get the matter settled,
nnd offered Broad street, instead of
Washington street, due to the for
mer being in better condition at the
present time.
After a meeting of representatives
of tho State street association and
bus owners, it was pointed out that
an agreement was reached whereby
every other bus owner was to go
over the new route going out, and
one out of every three to go over
the route coming back. Tho alder
man stated that instead of giving
the new route a favorable trial, they
reported back with an attorney, de
manding their old route back.
Mr. Tciolan, representative of the
bus owner's association, referred to
a route, Smith Street to State street,
to Broad street, to Division street,
to New Brunswick avenue and thence
to tho different destinations, and re
turning, north on State street, to
Broad street, to High street, to
Smith street, and to the starting
point. There was some discussion
over these routes between the two
spokesmen, the State street associa
tion representative denying that his
association proposed these routes.
It was explained that these routes
were laid out for every other bus
leaving the city, and for the same
bus to return over the High street
route. These routes, it was pointed
out, were subject to the approval of
Public Utilities Commission.
After the Ttrnnespti routes had
boon made clear Alderman Clark
stated that when these recommend
ations were voted on he voted in fav
or of them, but was against the
routes inasmuch us they were not as
requested by tho State street asso
ciation. Dr. Tyrrell declared that
buses passing State street would
boost business in that section and
Alderman Clark said that at a pre
vious meeting it was pointed out the
State street association wanted their
share of New Brunswick, Metuohen,
Woodbrldge, Carteret and Roosevelt
buses to come in by way of State
street, but was not particular the
way thev left.
Thomas liurke. a representative of
the State street association, gave an
illustration of some good done by
the new route over State street. He
said, however, that if a bus takes a
person to a certain point it should
go back over that route to pick the
party up. When informed that trol
leys'could take a party to their des
tination. Mr. Burke state that it
would cost seven cents to go to State
and Smith streets to secure a bus
back to their homes.
Dr. Tyrrell said the State street as
sociation does not want to interfere
with tho Perth Amboy-South Amboy
route inasmuch as Smith street is
nearest to South Amboy and deserves
any profits to bo gained from pas
sengers on buses coming from that
direction. He stated that Smith
street wanted a share of incoming
buses and also a share of outgoing
buses to take the people back to
their- homes,
i
V
Assistant Prosecutor John Too
liroughout the discussion point
>ut that there was no business
he bus men along State street a
he side streets, that such roll
vere a losing proposition. He
minted out that the rerouting of
lusses would drive passengers to
rolley cars. The bus associati
epresentative told the board of
lumber of men employed by
nisses and the number aocomm
iated and asked that they be co
if.red with the number of travels
who might want to go up Sta
street to shop. He asked what ri
ho State street association had
isk the bus men to lose money.
Mr. Toolan said the bus men W€
nto business on a prescribed ro
rhey are all taxpayers, he said,
ttiey want to hear a real reason i
Lhey should be Inconvenienced.
Tyrrell replied to Mr. Toolan,
ng the Public Utility Commissi
looks to the good of the communl
The doctor stated that the Sm
street route has been built
tbout seven years, while the
street route is only starting,
said that State street only has
blocks over which the busses p
while Smith street has ele
blocks, a percentage of about
per cent to 70 per cent.
Dr .Tyrrell stated that If the e
would grant a franchise, the S
street association would run ell
busses of their own, four over t
West avenue, Sowaren road, whl
will soon be completed, and fo
over other routes. He said the
sociation did not care to do tl
but that they wanted a share, '
equal share. I !.
The State street represeintat
spoke of a bus route over the no
ern and northwestern sections o
city to convenience people in t
sections. Dr. Tyrrell stated
State street has not had bus
for seven years and that It
time that the thoroughfai
get its share.
Mr. Toolan declared
there has been no !}
street for seven years sin*
Is not a business propositi. ,
ferred to Dr,. Tyrrell's I
about the Public Utility Com I
ai.d asked what chance that (j
would have to order millionaires
build a trolley line In an undeve
oped section. In regard to the nor
and northwestern section of the cl
Mr. Toolan said:
"Why not order the Public Se
vice railroad to run a trolley line o
Anhnv avpihip?"
Mr. Toolan said the.bus owners d^E
not object to tlic State street associj^Bl
lion placing eight buses on States
•liter, but would object to overloai|^B
ing other lines.
Alderman Clark referred to J^B
statement of Mr. Toolan in rc£a|^H||
to bus owners incurring losses duj^Hp
ing the time they have been runnings!
or; State street and said the repofjj^H*]
of the bus committee, showed a godj^H
business was being done. The assls|^B|
ant prosecutor stated that carnivfl^^H
in South Amboy, Metuchen, Woo®R||
bridge and other praces were rqB^
sponsible lor the busses making U|H|
for their losses on State street.
Alderman-at-large John Westf^H|
said the board was not in favor
forcing a hardship on the bus
but at the same time wanted to givj^B
State stri ct a conveyance. '&*).
Alderman Clark informed the oth^K
er members of tho board and othei^R|
in attendance that the State strei^B.
merchants intended to place advetg^Bi
tisements in the buses which WOU^^H
probably make up for any loss
passengers by taking that route. ~BllS
Dr. Tyrrell stated that the StaJj^B
street association does not want fj^Bj
hurt tho bus men or to help
street alone, but to help the entn^B
city. Dr. Tyrrell hero referred J^^B
the petition of the 154 Smith stre^B|
merchants for the return of the ol^B
route as a foolish piece of buslnefl|j^R|
Chairman Waters, of the bus COOg^H
mittce, referred to the building U^H
of routes, such as tho route frog^HC;
this city to Metuchen. Ho staU^H*
this route was a losing propositia^^B
when it was not run right, but th|^H
as soon as care was taken, it
found to bo a good business propos^Bi
tion. He stated that if the bus
took some interest in the {State stret^H
route, it would also prove to bo j^B
good business proposition.
Dr. Tyrrell in closing tho arg|^H|
ments for a bus route along Sta^^B
street, thanked the members of t!»B
board, for allowing the State strel^R|
association to come before the boajH^Bg
to give their side of the case.
