LONDON, August 19.—The British government, in its Irish peace offer, had conceded everything it was pos- sible to concede, Premier Lloyd George declared to the house of com- mons today in his expected state- ment on the Irish peace negotiations. It embodied the largest measure of freedom ever offered Ireland, he said, and he hoped the Irish leaders would not reject it, “and take the responsi- bility of renewing a conflict which would be robbed of all glory and all gratitude by its overshadowing hor- ror. Mr. Lloyd George disclaimed any menace for his words. He declared, however, that the government in mal ing its terms had done everything it could to secure peace and the good will of the people of Ireland, and that | LETTER INSINUATES HARM MAY COME TO COMMISSIONER OYSTE An anonymous letter indicating that harm might befall him if he continued his strenuous campaign for law enforcement as head of the police department “was receiv- ed by Commissioner Oyster a few days ago, it became known today. ‘The letter was typewritten and purported to be from “a friend” who felt it his duty to pass on to the Commissioner a “tip” he had received. The “friend” took it upon himself to ask the Commis- sioner if he realized he was put- ting certain people out of business. It is known that Commissioner Oyster has received other unsigned letters since he took office, but the typewritten one received this week hinted more directly at threats of retaliation. ‘The Commissioner said today he did not have the letter with him and could not recall the text. Capt. Oyster said he was satisfled that if the writer was “a friend,” as he claimed to be, he would have called in person. It was understood reference was made in the letter to the cam- paigns being conducted by the police against bootleggers and handbook makers. The Commis- sioner has shown no indication of letting up in his campaigns as a Tesult of the receipt of the letter.

But the Washington gov- ernment agrees with the prime min- ister’s statement that unless far east- ern controversies are settled there is little hope for disarmament.
