DE VALERA’S ATTITUDE Recd. 6 p.m. London, Nov. 7. “To expect Ulster to become part of a State which has brazenly repudiated its loyalty to the Crown is an outage against reason and common sense,” said Sir Basil Brooke, replying to Mr. de Valera’s address . j tne Fianna Fail.
“Mr. de Valera’s speech is a twofold justification for Northern Ireland’s opposition to its inclusion in an all Ireland republic,” he added. “It is apparent that if Mr. de Valera achieved his object. Britain would lose the Ultser bridgehead and would have near the western coaj.t a country owing no allegiance to the Crown. Our attitude is unequivocal, sincere and intense. King George is our King an<l the British flag is our flag.”
