SPLITTING THE IRISH RACE.
OUTSPOKEN CRITICISM OF DE VALERA.
London, February 3.
The “Daily Express’s” special correspondent in Dublin interviewed Mr T. Healy at the conclusion of the latter’s five years’ GovernorGeneralship. Mr Healy was most candid and did not mince his words, especially with reference to Mr De Valera. He said that jealousy not patriotism was at the root of De Valera’s position. He is vain and shallow, without a shred of ability, and insisted on splitting the Irish race by his pretended intransigeance. His reign of terror in the name of the Irish Republic brought only blood-shed and ill-will. He is nothing but a barren imposter. If bis futile and costly rebellion of 1922 bad not occurred, I think there would have been a rapprochement, but the Ulster Protestants could not be expected to enter a State afflicted with a factionist deadly outbreak, organised by this so-called leadci of the Irish people.”
