it was for them

strife’’ he asked,
or will they rise
hopefully and fai bfully
to
a bright
future ofpeace
and freedom,
which

It is for

be.would
be

ri-
ties in
London would

dream of coming

vailed, and if Mr. De Valera
could unite

leadership,
accept
the
treaty and agree
to work for

he (Cellins) would gladly
step aside.
He added

contingeney
that
so
heavy
a
buvden
of

had
been
