Copyright) LONDON, Dec. 30 The Prime Minister of Eire, Mr Earnonn 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 financial dispute with Britain. He said he was convinced that within the constitution the settlement of the third outstanding question, namely partition, was equally possible.
“ We cannot fulfil our destiny as a nation unless we 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 actiou lies with this generation.”
