Mr. de Valera's previous visits were made in the cause of Irish - independence, the first in 1919, the last in 1929. He has no need to plead that cause now. The independence he craved has been won. Eire is a separate entity, having severed the symbolical tie which bound it to the British Commonwealth of Nations, and left only the slimmest of threads remaining. He still seeks unity

No single act of his could more stiffen. the opposition of the North than this. The question of unity is one, therefore, which he is unlikely to carry across the Atlantic.
