Premier Lloyd George outlines a principle based settlement with Ireland developed by England. He argues for Ireland as a separate sovereign power within the British commonwealth and rejects any equal status with Holland and Belgium under German sovereignty. He cites Grattan Parnell and O Connell to defend unity and mutual interdependence, and quotes Lincoln to stress partnership under one sovereign.

Sinn Fein Talks Open As De Valera Heads Dublin Assembly
In Downing Street a hurried Sinn Fein reply signals possible further talks. Eamon de Valera, elected leader of the Irish republicans with title president, and Arthur Griffith as vice president, preside over a Dail Éireann session. An internal loan of £500,000 and two US loans totaling $20,000,000 were sanctioned, to be repaid, with likely 6 percent interest. The view in Sinn Fein circles sees exchanges as a new stage in ongoing negotiations amid fears of renewed warfare if the controversy delays an end to the war.
