 Secretary Colby listened without com ment but cautioned the chairman. when reference was made to Eamonn De Va lera as president of Ireland that as secretary of state he could hear them only on the understanding that they were there as American citizens and not as representatives of officials of the Irish people.
 I've demand recognition not as a fa- vor," said Mir Walsh, but as a right. The Irish republic is now established as d'iure and dc facto government. It's stability and representative character are attested by the endorsement of the ballots of ninety per cent. of the Irish people. The courts of the Irish republic are functioning daily and their decisions are respected by the entire population"
 Mir Walsh recited a long list of alleg- ed atrocities in Ireland and gave an an- alysis of conditions there.
