Mr. de Va-lera informed the Daily Herald that Ireland's one demand is the unqualified right to choose freely how .she is to bo governed—in other words, independence. Her only request is to be left free from British aggression and interference.
The Herald adds: "Mr. de Valera is at present in this country conversing with the British, Premier as President of the Irish, Republic." Mr. Desmond Fitzgerald, in an interview, said : "It is not a question of Belfast being subservient to Dublin, as Sir James Craig suggests, or Dublin being subservient to Belfast, but that both must be subservient to the Irish nation. The whole basis of the nation's claim is Mr. Wilson's-Fourteen Points. If tne Irish conference is to take place it must be on the basis of a,n independent nation." .
