Claim Ireland Has Been Of-
fered Dominion Status
Called Lie.
LONDON, AUK. 11 i—U. P)—
After a lengthy discussion of the
Irish situation today the British
cabinet decided that the statement
which Lloyd George was to have
made in commons this afternoon
should l>e deferred.
DUBLIN, Aus. 17.—(By U. P.) —
"We can not and will not accept the
British governments terms," De
Vitlera told the Dall Eireann today.
Addressing the Sinn Fein parlia
inent today, the republican
declared:
"There seems to be some doubt in
the press today after my speech of
yesterday as to whether w
reject the terms offered us by Mr.
Lloyd George.
"There should be no doubt In any-
one's mind.
"We can not and will not accept
those terms.
"There is an Indian proverb which
gays: 'Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.'
"The Irish people are not going to
be fooled this time.
"I would willingly suggest that the
Irish people give up a good deal to
free themselves from future exter-
nal trouble." De Valera continued.
"There is no enmity felt in the
south toward the people of the north.
We are ready to give them every rea-
sonable safeguard."
The Sinn Fein president declared
the statement that Ireland had been
offered dominion home rule con-
tained two falsehoods.
"There would be no Ireland, but
two broken pieces," he said.
Also Ireland has never been of-
fered the same status as the other
British dominions."
,rWe are willing to submit the
question between Great Britain and
Ireland to external arbitration," De
Valera declared.
"The Irish people will not flincb
because more armies have been or-
dered to this Country.
"We have no enmity towards Bri-
tain. It is as a separate nation that
we are talking today. It is as such
that we must enter into these or any
negotiations."

According to Murphy, the profits
of the exchange for the short period

a long time the exchange did not pay,
but that the business was now rapid-
y increasing.
Murphy stated that some of the
farmers' elevators had lost money on
wheat and flour due to declines and
