NOT AN ALTERNATIVE.
PAPER’S STRONG CRITICISM Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received January 6, 9.30 a.m.) LONDON. January 5. “ Freeman’s Journal” sais :—The Irish people will not hnd in Mr de Valera’s publication and justification of his attempt to divide tho nation in the crisis of its fate. His alleged alterna-
tive is not an alternative. Apparently Mr de Valera cannot forgive the Irishmen who made the Treaty for their success. For this he is ready to sacrifice his country. He has not the instincts of an Irishman in his blood.
“It is a curse to Ireland that its unity should be broken by such a man acting under the advice of an Englishman who achieved fame in the British Intelligence Service. The document is largely the work of Lieutenant Erskine Childers. The Irish people must stand up and begin their freedom hv giving their fate into the hands of their own countrymen.”
