DUBLIN HOPEFUL.
ULTIMATE AGREEMENT EXPECTED. REFERENDUM HINTED. Received August 16, 10.5 pan. London, August 16. A Dublin correspondent states that the general feeling in Dublin is that an agreement will ultimately be reached. The Times lobbyist says members are unanimous that the Government has gone to the limit of concession. Well informed persons in close touch with Sinn Fein and South Ireland interpret De Valera’s statement, that the Dail Eireann could not and the Irish people would not accept Mr. Lloyd George’s proposals, as an indication that the ultimate recommendation of the Sinn Fein Cabinet to the Dail Eireann will be a referendum of the people and not the rejection of the terms. Any rejection, with a possible renewal of hostilities, would undoubtedly lead to a general election in England, in which the Government would appeal to the electors for unchallengeable authority to resist the separatist movement in Ireland.—Times Service.
