A BLACK CHRISTMAS
BRITAIN DOUBLES TARIFFS | i CONSTERNATION IN IRE- j ! LAND j Press Association— Copyright | London, Nov. B.—The Treasury announces that owing to the Free I State’s failure to implement its j obligations the 20 per cent, duty i on live animals has been increased I to 40 per cent, and on bacon, pork, I other meat, butter, eggs, cream, poultry and game to 30 per cent. “It will be a black Christmas” says a member of the Cosgrave Party. “Turkeys will be abundant j at a few pence, but that is useless I to the turkey raisers.” , An Irish cattle-breeder says the new tariff is received with consternation. It deals a severe blow to the turkey and chicken trade, and it is impossible to export cattle to Britain. Mr. de Valera’s bounties are now futile. Both large and small producers are on the brink ‘ of ruin.
