DEAfiWCK 0N REESE QEEES'EHBN BUT NEGOHATEQNS m! Sinn Fein Reply to British Government Not Meant as a Re- fusal of Termsâ€"Ireland is Ofiered Dominion Status With Complete Autonomy in Finance and Taxation. London, Aug. 15.â€"â€"The corresponâ€"‘ dence between the British Prime Min-4 ister, Mr. Lloyd George, and Eamonnl -de Valera, the Irish republican leader,l made public by the British Govern-l ment this evening, shows that. while there is a deadlock on the question of independence for Ireland the negotia- tions are still open. Great Britain ofl'ered Ireland com- plete autonomy in finance and taxa- tion, military forces for home de- fence, her own police and, among other things, control of the Irish posâ€" ‘tal services. In his reply to Mr. Lloyd George, Mr. de Valera argued for indepen- dence and offered to submit the Ulster questions to arbitration. In his final letter, Mr. Lloyd George denied Ireland’s right to secession, re- ‘fused foreign arbitration for Irish questions and expressed the hope that Ireland would accept the British terms, which he declared, were the best that could be offered. An easier feeling regarding Ireland prevailed to-day, both among the offi- cials and the politicians. All are now inclined to the View that the Sinn Fein rhetorical reply to the British Govern- ment did not mean a definite refusal. A Dublin corres‘pon‘dent’s report that Lloyd George’s opinion of the: terms of the note indicated that he: lowed to stand in the way of peaCe. The Sunday Times remarks to-day that both do Valera and Arthur Grif- fiths are purely amateur statesmen, inexperienced in high affairs, and un- skilled in negotiations. It then pro- ceeds to recall de Valera’s lack of finesse in dealing with two American conventions. “The Irish leaders do not speak our language, although they use our words,” says the Times. “Their habitual expression is always more or less hyperbolical. They do not expect their words to be construed literally.” A Dublin despatch says: “On an authority which needs no en- dorsement, it is learned that there is no intention to break ofl" the negotia- tions."

A despatch from Quebec says:â€" With the air vibrating from the firing of guns from Quebec’s ancient citadel, the sound of whistles from river craft, the ringing of bells and the applause of a large crowd, Lord Byng of Vimy, Canada’s new Governorâ€" General, landed Thursday morning at King‘s wharf, proceeded through the beflagged streets to the Provincial Legislature buildings, and was there sworn in office with a pomp and im- pressiveness which probably have never before been equalled in the hisâ€" tory of the Dominion. LORD BYNG 0F VIMY INSTALLED AS GOVERNOR-GENERAL @F CANAEEA A band played the National Anthem as His Excellency came ashore. The Governorâ€"General, who wore a gen- eral’s uniform, stood smartly at the salute while it was being played and afterwards inspected the smart guard of honor on the wharf. Behind an escort of cavalry the General and Lady Byng and their suite proceeded in carriages by a roundabout route to the Parliament Buildings. Lord and Lady Byng received a series of ova- tions as they passed through the crowds, which His Excellency ack- nowledged by waving his hand while his wife bowed repeatedly. A dense throng had gathered at the Parlia- ment Buiiding‘, and there again he re- ceived an ovation. In the meantime those present on duty by virtue of their offices and those by invitation had gathered in the Legislative Council Chamber. Where the ceremony of swearing in was to take place. The scene was one of much brilliance. Against a back- ground of vivid red, the color scheme of the chamber, there stood out the golds, reds and blacks of the uniforms of the military officers present, the sombre tones of the uniforms of Preâ€" mier Meighen and his Cabinet Minis- tors, “’ho are Privy Councillors; the scheme out the niforms :nt, the looked upon it as a rejection of his |offer, astonished Irish leaders.

The leaders also say that they asked that the present ofl’er be made the basis of the full and final conference. Members of the Irish Cabinet and the Dail Eireann further assert that no demand was made for general am- nesty and that failure to obtain the release of prisiners Would not be al- lowed to stand in the way of peaCe.

Wheat Harvest Saskatoon, Aug. 14.â€"Wheat cutting has started on 25 per cent. of the farms in the Saskatoon district, ac- cording to reports received last night. Fears of frost have hastened opera- tions on half of these, but it seems likely that this danger is now past, due to the warm weather of the past two days. _ Serious oat blight is reported in the northern part of the district and a potato blight which puzzles ‘experts is spreading rapidly in the neighbor- hood of Saskatoon.

A despato‘n from London says:â€" Some remarkable figures, showing the falling off of British trade, are pub- lished by the Treasury.

For seven months this year the imports were £652,348,- 038, compared with £1,195,819,350 in the correspond‘iny period of 1920, and the exports were £412,067,426, com- pared with £774,918,788.
