IRISH PEACE.
SINN FEIN REPUDIATES MOVE. SCENE IN THE COMMONS. NO TRUCE WITH EXTREMISTS. By Telesraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Doc. 8, 8.15 p.m. London, Dee. 7. The Sinn Fein authorities have issued a statement to the effect that Father O'Flanagan's telegram making an offer of peace on behalf of Sinn Fein was purely a personal opinion, and had not tiie executive's sanction. The statement adds that all public bodies will be well advised to steer clear of the snares of the British Government until the Dail Eireann (the Sinn Fein Parliament) has spoken. .j.«; In the House of Commons, Mr. Bonar Law said no reply had yet been sent to Father O'Flanagan. Sir Hamar Greenwood (Chief Secretary for Ireland) said there could be no substantial truce until the leaders in the Irish Republican army surrendered or were arrested. (General cheers.) My. J. Devlin (Nationalist member for Belfast) asked if that was a declaration of war to the finish on Ireland. (Interruptions.) Mr. Devlin turned to the Ulster Unionists'- benches and cried, "Shut up, you dogß'." (Uproar.) Sir Hamar Greenwood said there was no question of war against Ireland, but the Government was bound to take action against extremists.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
