Valera Visits Chicago in Honor at Luncheon
Carson in Belfast reports a 15 minute demonstration as Eamon de Valera, president of the Irish republic, is greeted in Chicago. He waves an Irish flag and American flag, is carried aloft by supporters, and outlines self determination and Irish independence in remarks at a luncheon. He notes the 1848 context and argues secession differs from voluntary union.
