I.R.A. BOMBINGS
* DEFENDED BY SEAN RUSSELL STATEMENT IN CHICAGO. (Independent Cable Service.) CHICAGO, August 13. The Irish Republican Army leader, Sean Russell, declared that bombings in English cities were the only method to enforce withdrawal of the British from Ireland. Ho added: “Experience has taught us that no concession can be obtained from England except through the force of arms." Recently messages from London referred to frequent rumours that Russell was on his way from America with a large sum of money collected from pR.A. sympathisers, and later suspicions were expressed that he had been smuggled from a German liner into County Cork, and was intending io be present at a meeting of I.R.A. chiefs in Northern Ireland. All Irish police were on the watch, leave having been suspended.
