EisofL LLOYD GEORGE SENDS REPLY London, Aug. 26 (By the Associat ed Press).?David Lloyd George, thi British prime minister, today sent s prompt rejoinder to the . letter' ol Eamonn de Valcra, president of the Irish republic, which rejected the British government's* terms for peace in Ireland. The premier's note constituted a firm reiteration of the government's former standpoint, that Ireland could not be permitted to withdraw from the empire. He said he thought he had made it clear in conversations and previous communication;that ttye government "can discuss no settlement which involves a refusal on the part of Ireland to accept a free, equal and loyal partnership in the British commonwealth, under ,pne sovereign." ....... Mr. Lloyd George, ip- concluding his note, still held open the door for further negotiations with Mr. de Valera and his colleagues if they are prepared to examine how far the government's considerations "can be reconciled with the aspirations you i*epresent." He declared, however, thafthe government Could hot, "prolong a mere exchange of notes." .v In his communication Mr,- Lloyd George preserved- the same .Xtiendly tone that characterized his Termer letters.,to Mr. De--Valera. Today he buttressed the government's standpoint by quotations from Irish patriots and Abraham Lincoln, lie warned Mr. De Valera that a needless prolongation of the negotiations would serve to'*$lay into the hands of the extremists, who he declared, were only anxious to wrecfc the negotiations and terminate the - truce. A hopeful.-aspect of the situation ps it is? viewed in London political circles is that neither Mr. De Valera, in "his lftt6st i-pmhmnicatiojv *noi? Mir.
