BRITAIN'S LIMIT

v NEXT STEP AN APPEAL TO THE

COUNTBY.

(rtUUSHED IN THE TIKIS.)

LONDON,. i6th August. . The Times lobbyist aays that members are unanimous that the Government has gone to the limit of concession. Well-informed persons in close touch with the Sinn Fein and the South of Ireland interpret Mr. de Valera's ■■! statement, that the DaiPEifeann could not and the Irish people would not accept Mr. Lloyd George's proposals, as ah indication that the ultimate-recommen-dation of the Sinn Fein Cabinet to the Dail Eireann will be a referendum of the people, not rejection of the terras. Any rejection, with the possible renewal of hostilities, would undoubtedly lead to a general election in England, in which the Government would appeal to the elector* for an unchallengeable authority to resist the separatist movement in Ireland. The Dublin correspondent of The V Times states that the general feeling in N Dublin is .that agreement will eventually be reached.
