MURDER POLICY DENOUNCED BY DE VALERA.
(Received June 25, 5.5 pan.) LONDON, June 23. Regarding the shooting of Field Marshal Wilson (Military Adviser to the Government of Ulster), Air De Valera has issued a statement in Dublin to the effect that, “the killing of any human being is an awful act, but it is as awful when the victim is a humble worker as when the victim is placed on the seats of the mighty and is known in every corner of the world. It is characteristic of our hypocritical civilisation that only in the latter cases are we expected to cry out and express our horror and condemnation. For my part, I have nothing but loathing for such conventional statements, when the plain means to secure that such awful happenings shall not occur are deliberately put aside. Ido not approve; but do not pretend to misunderstand.”
