REPROACHES THE IRISH $o Grant De Valera's Claim Would Be to Acknowledge Ireland As Independent. WILL CONSULT CABINET Lloyd George In Cancelling Arrange- in en ta For Peace Conference 8 till Hope Negotiation May "Vet He rftaumed London, Sept. 15. (By Associated Press) The arrangements for the proposed Irlhh peace conference are cancelled but the negotiations still are not ruptured. That in brief is the story of today's unexpected and sur prising developments. Eamon De Valera, the Irish reDUb. lican leader, having reaffirmed his claim to enter the conference as the representative of an Independent aov ereign state, Premier Lloyd George declares that such admission is im possible. He announces the cancella tion of the arrangements for a con ference and the necessity of his con suiting his colleagues on the subject The premier Is careful not to close the door to possible resumption of the negotiations. On the contrary, he gives Mr. De valera and his support ers the amplest time and opportunity to reconsider their position. Declaring that there was but one answer to a claim which would be equivalent to Great Britain's acknow ledging Ireland's right to negotiate a treaty of closer association with "some other foreign power." he mildly re pro aches the Irish people for taking no single step to meet the generous ad vances of the British government. The whole tone of the letter; in faefc reveals that the premier still retains hope of some more favorable develop ment. Lloyd George's Reply. The text of Mr. Lloyd George's re ply, which was telegraphed tonight says: "I informed your emissaries who came to me here Tuesday that reiter ation of your claim to negotiate with Ms Majesty's government as the rep resentatlve of an Independent and sovereign state would make a confer ence between us impossible; "They brought me a letter froirf you In which -you specifically reaffirm that claim, stating that your nation has formerly declared its independence and recognizes Itself as a sovereign state and It is only, you added, 'as representatives of that state and as . its chosen guardians that we have any authority or powers to act on behalf of our people. . "I asked them to warn you of the very serious effect of such a paragraph and offered to regard the letter as not delivered to me In order that you might have time to reconsider It. De spite this Intimation you have now published the letter in its original form. I must accordingly cancel the ar rangements for the conference next week at Inverness and must consult my colleagues on the course of action this new situation necessitates. I wit communicate this to you as soon as possible but as 1 am for the moment laid up here a fVw days' delay is in evitable, Meanwhile I must make It absolutely clear that his majesty's government cannot reconsider Its posi tion which I have stated to you. Would Mean Independence. "If we h rce pted a conference with your delegates on the formal state ment of Ihe claim winch you have re affirmed it would constitute ah or ficijtl recognition by his majesty's gov eminent of the severance of Ireland from the empire and of Its existence as an independent republic. "It would moreover, entitle you ti declare as of right acknowledged b us. that in preference to association with the British empire you would pursue closer association h a treaty ;with some other foreign power.

"Governor" J. W. Bailey' tonight gave a portion of hl Inaugural address and "my program," aa tha late Theodore Roosevelt and the later Cameron Morrison, sometimes said. He was speaking before the North Carolina Orphan association which held the first of Its two days' ses sions. Mr. Bailey offers his plan to any body who wishes to run for governor on It. He does not admit that he Is running on it. But he does Insist that the evils which he laid naked before the people tonight- and did It with great eloquence, shall be met man fully and settled Intelligently. He will make outcry until some champion vocative enough to catch the Tar Heel ear takes It up. If that means his running for governor It means running for governor. Of course he said not a word about current politics. He was talking to people who are Interested In remedial measures for orphans. One of the first and dearest works to which he would dedicate the state would be the im provement of conditions which would reduce disease and thereby cut down the mortality among parents. This done, the parentless- children would be fewer and the means left these children on which to live and receive an education would be larger. Tells Doleful Story. It was a doleful story that Mr. Bailey uttered, but one could not think It pessimistic. He studies government statistics and he does not see the riches that show up so plainly in the University News letter of Prof. K. C. Branson, and .move Governor Morri son to such rhapsodies. Bailey thinks North. Carolina la poor. He does not believe that a state which has only 25,000 income tax payers can be rich. To him It Is a contradiction in terms to call a commonwealth wealthy which has 700,000 tenants, 300,000 of whom move every year. And he gets these figures from Mr. Branson. They alarm him. He has been dis enchanted. Once he thought North Carolina strong physically, but the figures are against him. After tracing the causes of social decay' and national death, telling how Rome waxed on agricultural success and waned when farming failed, he said: "We have but lately had a stirring revelation of the condition of the masses In North Carolina, Every young man between the ages' of 1! and 30 in America was submitted to physical examination under the selec tive draft act. Here Is the first dis closure In American history of the actual physical and mental condition of the population. What does that dis close show with respect to North Caro lina? Here are some of the facts: "a. In rejections for pulmonary and suspected tuberculosis, North- Carolina ranked inth from the worst, the num ber of rejections on this account being 27:5 per 1,000 men. The average lor the United Ktates was 22. "b. In rejections for malnutrition North Carolina ranked worst being ex ceeded only by Alaska. "c. In rejections for vice dispases (venereal -and alcoholic). North Caro lina ranked 13th. the number of rejec tions on this account being 72 pet thousand. Average for the United States 58. "d. In rejections for functional ner vous disorders North Carolina ranked third, her number being 1.43. The aver age for the United States .90. "e. In total mental disorders North Carolina ranked fourth, her number being 24 per 1.000. The average for the United States 15. "f. In rejections for mental defi ciency North Carolina ranked fourth, her number being 24H. The average for the United States 12. "g. In total rejections North Caro lina ranked 19th. "hTin drfectlve--' physical develop ment North Carolina ranked eighth, her number per 1.000 being 4.23. The average for the United States being 2.C6. Consider This Data. "I beg you to consider this dsta. I beg you to account for It. I bpg yon to change It. I hfg you to do anything with It except Ignore It. It Is evident that somewhat Is wrong with the run: ditlons of life In North Carolina. Com pared with the other states of this union, we make a Bhowlng that In Btantly demands our attention. "Now we aro all proud of North Car olina, all devoted to our state. It is our home, our native land. But we will not interpret our devotion In foolish boasting. We will not Ignore disagreeable facts. If we sincerely love this state, we will as quickly rem edy wrong conditions here as we would bind up a wound upon the body of our mother. Not only so, If we find that conditions are such as' to cause a de ficiency of manhood and womanhood, all our pride and love will move us, all our self-Interest will move us. to get at the root of those conditions and ex tirpate it. "North Carolina Is well favored geo graphically. . Our soil and climate pro duce a great volume anil diversity of crops. We have a most iimiRuu water power am! It has been marveleoualy de veloped. We have very extensive trans portation. We have a very great ex tent of manufacturing. We have no troublesome foreign element. We have no great and crowded cities no slums." His conclusion Is that agricultural conditions In 83 per cent agricultural' North Carolina are adverse. Ho had told how the thousands go to the mills, but there is no longer any room for the increasing number. The number of tenant farmers Increases. These 700, 000 "are In poverty; and poverty real poverty is a great destroyer. It is a source of disease. It Is a source of death. It Is the enemy of little chil dren. It Is an alliance with that other enemy of the human race Ignorance. . "Three hundred thousand 6f these tenant croppers move, every year. That means practically all of them move every three years. .

Ttw llgp Biilldtnt iBv Uute sin) By C. W. GILI1KRT. - (Omtbl, 1J1, by PUUdelnhtt fublte Lnlffr.) Washington, Sept. 15. Representa tive Brennan. of Michigan, announces that upon the reconvening of Congress he will introduce a bill permitting the manufacture and sale of beer and light wines containing not more than 4 per cent of alcohol, to be taxed heavily, the proceeds of the tax to be applied to the payment of the Boldlors'. bonus. This Idea: is in the minds of certain members of the administration. The prohibition forces In Congress may be strong enough to prevent Its adoption before the next congressional election but It Is likely to make pro gress In the coming regular session. President Harding Is committed to some degree of aid to tha soldiers. Revenues out of which to aid them are not In sight. The sale of bonds for the purpose would depress the price of out standing liberty bonds, j It Is a situation making for a search for soma new source'of revenue taxing of which the oountry would not regard as a burden. The proposal to permit the manufacture and sale of wine and beer aa a means of raising revenue for the soldiers' bonus would enlist the veterans of the great - war - besides liberalizing the Volstead act. The plan Is tempting. Politically It will require much calculation to see wheth er tha support of the soldiers woulu offset the loss of the extreme prohibi tionist vote. Tha extreme prohibition movement has receded. This Is shown by the fail ure to put through Congress the radi cal amendments to the Volstead act making It more enforceable. And It now seems certain that this amend ment will fail unless the extreme search and seisur provisions are omitted. -With them left out the. en-: forcement of the prohibition law will remain as difficult as It Is now. The temporary defeat of the . Volstead amendment has produced no effective protest. Bo It is generally felt here that the prohibition movement has passed Its climax. An argument for the liberalising of the Volstead act Is found In Its unen-forclblllty.- Statistics upon the Im portation Of wines and liquors are In .teealU(...lJuxJ the first J.eYfO months of 1921, 111,592 gallons of whisky and 700,000 gallons of sacra rhental wines and 20,000 and 70.000 cases of battled wines have legally been Imported. Of the 111,592 of whisky 61.400 gallons came In July alone. A year ago only 6.588 gallons came In July. Kvldently ways are be ing found to get around the law for bidding Importation. Of course these figures are by no meanB complete, for they Include only the liquor for which permits were granted. Immense quantities are also being smuggled Into the country. Pro hibition officials admit that the Im portation of liquor Is virtually out of tlielr control and they propose stricter laws and ruling aa a means of cutting down this source of strong drinks. SccreTary Mellon has prepared a new ruling prohibiting Importation of liquor lj wholesale druggists. If this rule goes Into effe'cT'p'ermits In the future will go only to retail drug stores, who. It la believed, will not have -the resources or familiarity with foreign trade tri order liquor abroad extensively. But probably this dis ability will not be permanent. The lesson of liquor law enforcement so far has been that a way Is found aroupd every obstacle that new rul ings create. The comparative eaBC with which liquor Is obtained In this country Is making sentiment in favor of modifica tion of the law so as to permit the making of light wines and beer of low alcoholic content. And the political need of some way to provide revenue for a soldiers' bonus Is also operating toward a modification of the present law.
