A UNITED IRELAND
DE VALERA’S CREED
MISGUIDED ULSTER PEOPLE
“EXPLOITED POLITICALLY.” i. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright .] (Received 9 a.m.) DUBLIN, July 25. “Religion is being used to cloak mean and shabby things,” said Mr De Valera in the Dail, referring to “unfortunate happenings in other parts of the country.” “The citizens of Ireland are only too anxious to live in peace and friendship,” added Mr De Valera. “The foreign Power which created this situation by refusing to allow the people to settle their. own differences cannot escape responsibility. “I deplore the recent reprisals in the Free State. The Government will see that-, as far as possible the guilty who have chained the Free State are treated with the full rigour of the law.
“I hope the misguided people of Ulster will realise that they are being exploited politically. Then the Irishmen’s ideal of living together as Irishmen in their own land will soon be fulfilled.”
