MR. DE VALERA'S HOPES PROBLEM OF PARTITION SETTLEMENT QUITE POSSIBLE (Received December 80, 11.30 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 30 The Prime Minister of Eire, Mr. Earaonn de Valera, broadcasting from Dublin on the first anniversary of the new constitution, recalled that in the past year the Irish people had got back their ports and settled the finan-
cial dispute with Britain. He said he was convinced that within the constitution tiro settlement of the third outstanding question, namely partition, was equally possible. "We cannot fulfil our defetinv as a nation unless \v«> are an Irish nation, and we can only, truly be that if we are an Irish-speaking nation," said Mr. de Valera. "The duty for action lies with this generation."
