TRADE AGREEMENT
BRITAIN AND IRELAND! RATIFICATION BY DAIL \ DUBLIN. Fe£ Continuing the debate in the Dait the trade pact with Britain, Mr. da Valera said there was no change in the British attitude regarding the land annuities, involving the payment of £5,000,000 to Britain. "I believe this money is ours,*' said Mr. de Yalera. "The pact mitigates the hardships caused by the British penal tariffs, bat does not recognise i Britain's right to the annuities. If we were in a stronger position to resist we would not have made the pact. "To that extent our flag has come >; _ 'down, but we still hope that right will triumph." General Mulcahy, describing Mr. de Valera's attitude as futile, said a better settlement could be obtained from Britain than from any inter- ■ lational body. The Dail ratified the* agreement bjr 72 votes to 49.
