Referring to Macswiney, Mr.. De
Valera said:
Lloyd George mas thrown down his
gauge and it has been accepted He
lmaglnes that by looping off the heads
or the republican movement in ireland
he will KIN the republic. Miserable
opportunist, he is incanable of under
standing the depth of devotion to an
ideal; comfortable imperiaist, he has
never felt the intensity of peoples
yearning desire for the liberty they
have lost; contemplate demagogue, he
has never known democracy such as
Ire lands, where the people always find
a leader when the occasion demands"
