To-day we have sown the seeds of peace. The problem with which we were confronted is not new. It has baffled two generations. We faced it in circumstances fraught with the gravest possibilities. We bring back an instrument solemnly executed by the representatives of three Governments - an instrument which provides a sane and constructive solution. Born of a generous desire for peace and friendship, this agreement, accepted in the spirit in which it was negotiated and signed provides the basis of a sure and lasting peace. We confidently recommend it to the Irish people.
