IRISH ANNUITIES
MR. COSGRAVE’S OFFER MORATORIUM SCHEME [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] LONDON, January 12. “I don’t think that this is .a political bribe. It is nothing of the sort!” declared Mr Cosgrave speaking at Kildare, when outbidding Mr De Valera for the farmers’ vote, Mr Cosgrave announced that if elected to office, he would remit the annuities for the November-December term, 1932; the June term 1933; the No-vember-December term 1933; and the June term 1934, the first collection being made in 1934. Mr Cosgrave said that he considered that the farmers were unable to pay more than half of what they had been paying, and stated that they would not be asked to pay more. His negotiations with Britain would ' be based on the ability of the farmers to pay, and would also be according to the formula to which Britain, France, and- Italy had already subscribed, and to which he hoped, America would ultimately subscribe.
