STRAIGHT TALK
FROM A LONDON PAPER TO DE VALERA AND CO. LIABLE TO MAKE POOR EXCHANGE BRITAIN’S FORBEARANCE HAS ITS LIMITATIONS (Aust. and N.Z. Cable.) (Received March 21, 2 pin.) London. March 20 Tlie Morning Post reminds Southern Ireland that it makes a mistake to presume too far on the "yielding nature of British people whose concessions for the sake of peace are regarded merely as signs of weakness. "The Statute of Westminster, as we predicted when it was foolishly passed', encourages tlie disruptive forces. Ireland’s interest, however, lies in a free British market, which henceforth is reserved for members of tlie Empire. The Free State cannot have it- both ways. If she repudiates her allegiance and obligations. Britain will show just and severe resentment. The Free State might then find to her bitter regret that a petty republic on the skirts of
Europe is a poor exchange for citizenship in the British Empire.
