IRISH PEACE IS
ROPE OF PEOPLE
IN CONFERENCE
De Valera Spends Day \\ ith
Leaders While Ulsterites
Call Cabinet Meeting.
LONDON'. June 27.—1 t was learned
from an authoritative source this after
noon that the Irish peace conference will
he held, the Central News announced. The
government is reported to have received
information from Dublin and Belfast in
dicating that Kamonn De Valera and Sir
James Craig both v.lll accept the invi
tation to come to London to confer with
the Britisii government.
LONDON, .Tune 27—Wheels bgan
[ turning today for the manufacturing of
an Irish peace.
i Still dazed by Premier Lloyd George's
j sudden action in calling upon Eamou De
; Valera and Sir James Craig for a peace
; conference, England waited hopefully for
a settlement of the long-vexing question.
De Valera spent today conferring with
Siun Fein leaders. Under the terms of
the premier's offer he will be allowed to
take whatever colleagues he U/islres into
the conference, their safety guaranteed.
Sir James Craig, premier of Ulster, al
ready has called a cabinet meeting for
Tuesday.,
It was believed both Irish factions
would be ready to notify Lloyd George
by mid-week what they intended to do
in regard to his invitation.
The solution most commonly discussed
was the granting of Sinn Fein full gov
ernmental powers except for control cf
the army and navy anil in foreign rela
tions. Under those conditions i'lster
probably will be grantee* similar rights.
PRESS COMMENT
ON PEACE MOVE
LONDON, June 27— “ The hour for
peace in Ireland has struck." said the
Times today in commenting upon Pre
mier Lloyd George's invitation to Eamonn
De Valera and Sir James Craig to come
to London to discuss an Irish settlement
with the British government.
Virtually all of the newspapers approve
of the premier's course.
The opposition newspaper. Daily News,
which has been an outspoken critic of
the government's Irish policy, declares
the country is confronted with the ap
palling prospect of intensified warfare in
Ireland If the conference fails.
It has been proposed that England ad
minister Ireland as a crown colony, be
ginning July 12, unless the Southern Ire
land parliament (created tinder the new
home rule bill) meets nnd swears allegi
ance to England and King George.
DECLARES PLANS KIIADI
FOR GREAT CAMPAIGN.
“The view held in Ireland." said the
Daily News, “is that this action would
be tantamount to actual declaration of
war." This newspaper pointed out that
both general staffs (English amL Sinn
Fein) have plans completed for a great
campaign. The Irish Republican army
ha* been strengthened by enforcing con
scription in additional districts.
“Is this the twilight or the dawn?"
queries the Daily News in commenting
upon the latest peace move.
The Dally Telegraph referred to the
premier's invitation as a state document
of first-class importance which would be
closely scanned throughout the world.
The latter was put forward as a final
appeal for reconciliation In the spirit of
King's words at Belfast," said the Dally
Telegraph.
“The country looks for no ‘niggling'
conditions' lint for a whole hearted at
tempt to bring the deplorable situation
to an end and conclude a handsome
peace," said the Daily Mail.
I LSTEK PAPER
TAKES EXCF.PT'ON.
"For the moment an attitude of cau
tion aud riwfrnint from criticism on the
part of the Irish is necessary.” said the
Irish Independent, adding: ‘"lf the
elected representatives decide to accept
they may be trusted to do everything
pnsihle to secure terms satisfactory to
the Irish people.”
"We mush take exception to the at
tempt of the premier to drag Ulster Into
a conference with the Sinn Fein.” said a
dispatch from Belfast quoting the
Northern Whig. This newspaper con
tinued :
"What have we to do with De Valera's
absurd claim to get up a republic?- The
premier is not treating Sir James Craig
fairly in asking him to meet De Valera,
whom the loyalists of Ulster regard with
abhorrence. His hands are steeped in the
blood of hundreds of innocent policemen,
soldiers and civilians. One shudders at
the very Idea of being asked to sit in
the same room.”
The Manchester Guardian, a constant
critic of the government’s policy, sus
pends Judgment on the premier’s peace
move. It prints a column of uor.com
mital news, beginning with the caption:
“It Is Business?" aud closing with the
question:
"Is ther.- wisdom and statesmanship
enough ‘j prevent the opportunity from
being 1 ,st ?”

To Delay Painting Is False Economy
To delay painting—putting it off from year to year—when

at the rate of 30% to 35% each year. Look at your house. If
