FOMENTING TROUBLE
MR DE VALERA'S CAMPAIGN SO-CALLED BRITISH TYRANNY Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, August 2. (Received August 3, at 10.5 a.m.) The Dublin correspondent of ‘ The Times ’ says: “ While the Free State delegates at Ottawa are fraternising with the Imperial delegates, Mr De Valera and the remaining Ministers are touring the Free State fomenting opinion against so-called British tyranny. “ Neither Mr De Valera nor Mr Connolly (Postmaster-General), his chief abettor, denies that everyone would suffer in the De Valera dreamland, which is irreverently- described as a
‘ Hair-shirt Republic,’ but they regard such suffering as a privilege, for it is almost a holy cause. With pathetic faith in Mr Do Valera’s superhuman powers, thousands of unthinking supporters are cheering him at scores of meetings.
“Meanwhile the I.R.A. is preaching a complete breach with England, the leaders declaring that they have no sympathy with Mr Do Valera’s policy and demanding the declaration of an independent republic.”
