IRISH FREE STATE
De VALERA'S CAMPAIGN POLICY OF BRITISH STATESMEN. “TO REDUCE IRELAND TO A CATTLE RANCH.” London, July 29. Addressing 10,000 electors at College Green, Mr de Valera, In opening a country-wide campaign, said it had been the policy of British statesmen for generations to reduce Ireland to a cattle ranch to provide cheap food and make It a dumping ground for British manufactures.
The imposition of panic tariffs clearly demonstrated that the situation must be met by cool, calm courage, not panic action. If the farmers failed to pay the annuities to the State a host of evils heavily burdening them would follow, because the State’s credit for the benefit of tho individual could not be resorted to in the hope of repayment.
Suggestions in regard to case in making terms should not be entertained Britain wanted to press their fight; therefore, it would be the height of foolishness if Ireland thought goodwill on her part could prevent it.
