POLITICAL PRISONERS
MR DE VALERA REFUSES RELEASE saVs people ape gaoling THEMSELVES. DESIRE TO SEE IRELAND UNITED. By Telegraph-Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.55 p.m.( LONDON, February 18. Mr E. De Valera, addressing the Cavan Convention, on a motion urging the release of political prisoners, denied the imprisoning of people and said they were gaoling themselves by attacking national institutions. The Government would do its duty. Some Irishmen wanted to see Ireland at war. They could not end partition when they were themselves disunited. He had been about to deal with partition on the same lines as with the return of ports when these people butted in. The motion was lost in favour of an amendment appealing to youth to support the Government. Soldiers trained Bren machineguns on an hotel in Parnell Square, Dublin, and removed six men.
