dc.descriptionPrinted report and statement [for circulation, no publisher given] entitled 'President De Valera and Irish Independence'. Briefly commenting on a crucial misunderstanding arising from an interview of DeValera in New York with the Westminster Gazette (published 5 and 6 February also in the New York Globe); DeValera had not talked of concessions but followed as always the tenet of 'equality of rights between nations'. Offering a statement (by DeValera) on which the interview was based in full: arguing that Britain's plea of security in maintaining a hold on Ireland is mere tyranny; pointing to inconsistencies in defending states like Belgium and founding the League of Nations on the one hand, and acting differently with Ireland; polemically calling for an application of the Monroe Doctrine for Britain's two neighboring islands; listing reasons for Britain to selfishly hold on to Ireland. For security issues, reasoning that 'mutual self-interest would make the peoples of these two islands, if both independent, the closest possible allies in a moment of real national danger to either'. Only England can remedy the situation.
