NO QUESTION OF FORCE
EIRE AND NORTHERN IRELAND.
DE VALERA’S IDEAL OF UNION
(United Press Association-Copyright.) (Received This Day, 10.5 a.m.) LONDON, November 25.
Mr de Valera, in a speech at the Fianna Fail conference, ’said that the immediate problem was not how to declare a Republic, which could be done to-morrow, but how to extend the existing institution of government to Northern Ireland. There could be no question of force against the north because the ideal .was not achievable by force. If Britain withdrew from the northern counties her subsidies for troops, natural influences would do the rest.
