PARTITION OF EIRE
MR DE VALERA’S HOPES SETTLEMENT DECLARED TO BE POSSIBLE. DUTY OF THIS GENERATION. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. DUBLIN, December 30. Mr De Valera, Premier of Eire, broadcasting on the first anniversary of the new Constitution, recalled that during the past year the Irish people had got back their ports and settled their financial dispute with Britain. He was convinced that a settlement within the Constitution of the third outstanding question, namely partition, was equally possible. “We cannot fulfil our destiny as a nation,” he said, “unless we are an Irish nation, and we can only truly be that if we are an Irish-speaking nation. The duty for action lies with this generation.”
