GOOD POLITICS
BAD LAW AND MORALS 31R COSGRAVE ON DE VALERA By Telegraph —Copyright —Press Assl. LONDON, Last Night. "Mr de Valera’s attitude is good politics, but had law and worse morals,” said Mr Cosgrave at Dublin. "There is no hope in legal argument for the retention of the annuities. The so-called secret agreement of 1923 saved the Irish taxpayer the expense of the establishment of a new Government department. Moreover, it imposed on Britain, the liability of nearly £1,000,000 yearly, which the Free State otherwise would have to hear.” He aded: "If Britain secures a remission of war debts her liatiility under the agreement of 1925 may be reduced, resulting in the possibility of a ease arising for the remission of the annuities.”
