IRISH FREE STATE
THE BUTTER BOUNTY MR DE VALERA'S INTENTION Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, April 16. The correspondent of ‘ The Times ’ at Dublin says:—“The butter bounty clearly indicates Mr De Valera’s intention to concentrate on the British market, in which he is resolved to fight not only the Danes, but also Australians and New Zealanders. The bounty should make the export price of the Free State’s butter 110 s a cwt, compared with the home price of 1475.” “ NO THANK YOU " , ' LONDON, April 17. (Received April 18, at 10 a.m.) The ‘ Observer,’ commenting on Mr De Valera’s reported plans to increase the sale of Irish butter in the British market against Australian, New Zealand, and Danish, says: “No, thank you. Not on your terms. The British people have this business in their own hands, apart from Governments. REMOVAL OF OATH. BILL BEING REDRAFTED. DUBLIN, April 17. (Received April 18, at IQ a.m.) The Oath Removal Bill is being redrafted, and will be introduced in the Dail this week. The Cosgrave Party will move a reasoned amendment on the second reading a fortnight hence. Mr Do Valera, had a conference with Mr Norton, Leader of the Labour group, and it is reliably stated that the Labourites will vote solidly in favour of the Bill, which, when it has passed the Dail, will be, sent to' the Senate, which will cither pass or suspend it for eighteen months. In the, event of suspension, Mr De Valera is determined to have another General Election. If he is then successful, the Bill will pass within sixty days. In the meantime, there is considerable anxiety in trade and industrial circles. A Dublin firm of biscuit makers announces that if the Free State becomes politically independent, it will be obliged to dispense with half its workers, because the British import duties will prevent its competing with British firms. Similarly it would be unable to export to the dominions and colonies.
