Pauls. others Of the public will have

Thus far the responsible republicans
in Ireland who have spoken regarding
the assassination. including Eamon De
Valera. have disavowed any knowledge
o. the crime or its perpetrators. De
Valera tonight, however, issued a polit-
ical manifesto in which he denounced
the policy Of the British government
and that OF Ulster as the cause for
such outrages.
Widens Breach. Says Craig
Sir James Craig. Ulster Premier. Is
sued q statement in which he asserted
that the assassination would serve 20
widen the breach and harden the hearts
Of tho Ulsterites for their policy OF no
surrender. Regret was expressed in
government circles to-day that the mur-
der might be calculated to delay a.
Irish settlement.
Hardly anywhere. however. outside
the ranks Of the die hards" and Of
Ulster has there come any suggestion
that the government should modify its
policy toward the Irish Free State or
be IN any way influenced in reae-
tlonary direction.
