TRADE WITH IRISH FREE STATE
MODIFIED ATTITUDE IN DUBLIN HEAVY ADVERSE TRADE BALANCE United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received January 6, 6.30 p.m.) LONDON. January 5. The Dublin correspondent of “The Times” says: “The first feelings of relief at the news of the Anglo-Irsh agreement have been succeeded by some dissatisfaction. It was at first assumed that the agreement involved the removal of the duties, which would be of real value in genuinely relieving the Free State’s farmers, and would have been a blessing to consumers. However, the opinion is growing that the Free State has made a bad bargain and is receiving little or nothing for a substantial concession to Britain.” British Minister Pleased. “Obviously I am pleased with the new Anglo-Irish agreement,” said Mr J. H. Thomas (Secretary for Dominion Affairs) to “The Daily Mail.” The Minister added: “I want to see the Free State playing its part as a member of the British Commonwealth.” Mr Thomas refused to prophesy regarding the settlement of the AngloIrish political dispute.
