MR T. HEALY
AN OUTSPOKEN CRITIC I’ress Ateoci alien—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, February 3. The Dublin correspondent of the ‘Daily Express’ interviewed Mr T. Healy at the conclusion of his five years’ term as Governor-General, He was most candid, and did not mince his words, especially those in reference to Mr De Valera. He said: “Jealousy and not patriotism is tho root of his position. Ho is vain and shallow, without a shred of ability, and insists on splitting the Irish race by pretending intransigence. His reign or terror in the name of tho Irish Republic brought only bloodshed and ill-will. He is nothing but a barren impostor. If this futile, costly rebellion in 1922 had not occurred I think there would have been a rapprochement, but the Ulster Protestants could not bo expected to enter the State when it was afflicted by the factionist outbreak which was organised by this so-called leader of tho Irish people.”
