Mr. Lloyd George, at Maidstone, said he was delighted that Sir James Craig and De Valera had met and discussed Ireland’s future. He could not say what might ensue, but it was a good sign that they were able to discuss things together.—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn.
DE VALERA’S VIEWS. A CONCILIATORY TONE. THE FEELING OF ULSTER. Received May 8, 5.5 p.m. London, May 7. De Valera writes in a conciliatory tone to the Irish Independent. He says: “We shall never cease to maintain there is community of interest between our countrymen in the north-east corner of Ireland and our people in the’ south and west. We believe Ulstermen, in spite of their misunderstandings and prejudices, which are mostly artificially created, look upon Ireland as their country, and in their hearts cherish the Irish name. Ulster felt profoundly in the eighteenth century her unity with Ireland. and shall do so again. May that day be soon.”—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn. Received May 7,5 A p.m. London, May 7.
