DE VALERA NOT SO EAGER NOW FOR BLOODSHED
HIS PARTY’S AMBITION IS “A UNITED REPUBLICAN IRELAND” By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. Australian and New Zealand Cable Association. (Received November 25, 7.10 p.m.) LONDON, November 24. Mr Eamon de Valera, speaking in Dublin at the first convention of his new Republican Party, opposed the idea of achieving by force a united Republican Ireland, but said that if the road of peaceful progress and natural evolution were barred, then the road of revolution would beckon, and it would be taken. He had never said, and he was not saying now, that force was not a legitimate weapon for a nation striving for freedom. But a nation within itself ought to be able to settle its policy without a civil conflict.
