| Summary: | De Valera vehemently defends the Anti-Treaty Volunteers' right to fight the "Provisional Government" which he describes as "a usurpation..established..by coup d'etat..aided by the military resources of the enemies of our country". "I cannot ask any soldier of the Republic to submit tamely to the enactment of a "Treaty" which is a subversion of the Independence which he swore to defend with his life". |
