ATTACK ON BRITAIN
DISPUTE WITH IRELAND DE VALERA'S BITTERNESS DUTIES AND ANNUITIES By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received July 29. 11.5 p.m.) LONDON, July 29 A message from Dublin states that Mr. de Valera, addressing 10.000 people on College Green, in opening his 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 a dumping ground for British manufactures. Tho imposition by Britain of panic tariffs clearly demonstrated a situation which must bo met with cool, calm courage, not panic action: If the farmers failed to pay their annuities to tho State a host of evils which would heavily burden t hern would follow, because the States' credit for tho benefit of the individual cotdd not be resorted to iri the hope of repayment. Suggestions regarding ease in making terms should not be entertained. Britain wanted to press this fight. Therefore it would be tho height of foolishness if Iroland thought goodwill on her side could prevent it.
