NO DEBATING SOCIETY Hoover Plans Government’s Unemployed Conference. Says Meeting Will Not Be Allowed to Become Battleground for Capital and Labor. Washington, Aug. 30.—“ The gowrnment’s proposed unemployment conference will not be allowed to become a battleground for capital and labor. All contentious questions will be barred.” Secretary of Commerce Hoover made this assertion in proclaiming the intention of the administration to see that every American breadwinner who desires employment may find it. “We are not going to allow such questions as the open shop, wage scales or union conditions to be discussed,” Mr. Hoover emphasized. “Neither will labor or capital, as organized forces, be given representation. It is hoped to have not more than 15 or 20 men who know employment conditions from both sides participate. Thus some constructive work can be accomplished and the conference prevented from developing into a debating society.” The first work to be undertaken by the conference which he expects will convene in the middle of September, will be a survey of the actual unemployment situation, said Mr. Hoover. He Indicated that the total of 5,000,000 out of work as estimated by the Department of Labor, is “too black a picture.” While in no way underestimating the serious situation which may result from large nuiajiers of unemployed exhausting their pavings during the coming winter, Mr. Hoover said that the number of “breadwinners” out of work is nowhere as large, in his estimation, as the total announced.

IRELAND WARNED BY LLOYD GEORGE End Note Writing and Send Delegates for Another Parley, Is Reply to De Valera. PREMIER FOR QUICK ACTION Declares “In Rejecting British Settlement Terma^lreland Refuses Wider Range of Rights Than Those Enjoyed by States." — London, Aug. 29.—1 n rejecting the Britisli settlement terms Ireland tu^jed down a wider range of rights than enjoyed by the states of the American Union, Premier Lloyd George declared on Friday in his answer to the Irish parliament's refusal to the British peace*»rmditions. “We cannot prolong, the mere exchange of notes,” said Premier Lloyd George. “It Is essential that definite and immediate progress be made toward a basis whereupon further negotiations I can usefully proceed. “Further negotiations are futile unless there is some definite progress made towards the acceptance of a basis. “Your letter seems to us, unfortunate'y, to show no such progress. If I you ire prepared to examine how far these considerations can be reconciled with the aspirations you present I will be happy to meet you and your colleagues. “In demanding that Ireland be treated as a separate sovereign power you are advancing aims which the famous leaders of Irish history ex- : plicity disowned. “The British government offered Ire- , land all that O’Connell, Thomas ami Davis asked, and more; we met the unqualified demand that we recognize Ireland as a foreign power. “We do not believe that a permanent reconciliation between Britain and Ireland can ever be attained without a recognition nf the physical and historical interdependence which makes a complete political ami economic separation Impracticable. “Under the settlement which we outlined, Ireland would control every nerve and fiber of its national existence. She would be free in every aspect of national activity and development. "The states of the American Union, sovereign though they be, enjoy no such range of rights. “I consider that our proposals completely fulfill your wish that the principle of ‘government by the consent of the governed’ be the broad guiding principle of the settlement. “We can n <oi ss no settlement which InvoM.^" ffusal on the part of Ireland to 'pt the invitation of a free, eoval d loyal partnership in the ^immonwealth under one sovereign ; “We are reluctant to precipitate the issue, but prolongation of the present state of affairs is dangerous and action is being taken in various directions which, if continued, will prejudice the truce and ultimately lead to its termination. This would be deplorable.” The British premier reiterated in unequivocal terms that the British government can consider no settlement that means Ireland’s secession from the British crown. De Valera’s note replying to Lloyd George's last proposal after telling of the rejection of the offer by Dail Eireann. concluded as follows: “On the basis of the broad principle that ours is a government with the consent of the governed, peace is possible and can be secured —a peace which is Just and honorable to all, and fruitful of concord and enduring amity. “To negotiate such a peace Dail Eireann is ready to appoint representatives, and if your government accepts this principle, to invest them with plenary powers to meet and arrange the application and details.” GERMAN LEADER IS SLAIN M.
