The letter dated July 11 reads as tollows: “I can assure you it is a matter of great graitfication to me to find that the loyal men of-Ulster hold the same opinions as I do as <o the ‘English speaking peoples. It may interest you' to know that practically. all the reputable mewspapers.in the United States are now in thorough approval of ‘our condemnation. of the activi- ties of Sinn Fein sympathizers in the United States. ““This has been brought about by & remarkable expression of opinion by American people in the form of show- ers of letters and celegrams to all concerned. _ It woula seem as thoush the incident were about to be trans- formed into an issue.

Not Be Necessary to Wait for Rclease to McKeown Before Irish Republican Parliament Can Meet. Dublin, Aug. 8.—(By the Associat- ed Press)—Eamon De Valera, the re- publican leader’ discussing with news- papermen today the case of John J. McKeown, declared he did not believe the refusal to release McKeown with the other imprisoned members of the Irish republican parliament represent- ed the considered decision .of = the British government. It was done, he thought by subordinates who based their action on technicalities. Erskne Childers, who is associated with the Sinn Fein leader declared to- day the statement that no meting of the Irish republican parliament could be held until McKeown was released was wholly unfounded. Such a state- ment was published this morning as an official Sinn Fein pronouncement.
