CRITICISM OF DE VALERA.
The Paper's Comments on His Action Were Amply Justified by:
His Ill-Considered and Wholly Inconsistent Action During
the Debates in the Dail—His Partizans and Admirers Don't
Believe in Freedom of the Press and Would Muzzle Every
Newspaper That Dares to Express Adverse Opinions—They
Attempted to Destroy “Tho Gaelic American” and Stopped
at No Dirty Work to Accomplish Their Purpose—His Utter
Incompetency as a Leader Fully Demonstrated by His
Actions During the Pest Two Years—No Cause Qan Win
