"WE WANT PEACE"
AS MUCH AS ENGLAND
PEACE WITH HONOTJK
UNITED IRELAND FIRST
DE VALERA'S DECLARATION?
United Press Association—By Electric Tel«*j graph—Copyright ,-'! (Received 16th January, 10 a.m.): j . LONDON, 15th January.' ■ Mr. de Valera, in Galway, reply, ing to Mr. J. H. Thomas, said:—"We want peace as much as England, but peace can only be obtained when the ' Irish people are free to,determine the terms of their relationship with! Britain. Mr. Thomas will never geii peace while he insists'on the division and partition of Ireland, because the aim of every true Irishman is to end the partition. We have^ seen no indication of Britain's readiness to discuss,a real settlement. I am interested to know the meaning of Mr. Thomas's reference to the honourable, obligations. There never was a body so "determined to observe honourable obligations ai the present Free State Government.'* '
