LAND ANNUITIES AS SOURCE?

BRITAIN'S APPEAL TO REASON

THE OTTAWA

OTTAWA SPIRIT

PURSUING HIS POLICY OF PROVOCATION, Mr.

de Valera yesterday asked the Dail Eirrann to approve an Emergency Estimate of £2,000,000 for the furtherance of his anti-British economic policy. The source of the money was not disclosed but there is every reason to believe that he contemplates employing the land annuities, wrongfully withheld, to foster schemes for transferring Ireland's trade from Britain to the Continent.

While he was moving his resolution, Sir Thomas Inskip was

delivering an important

speech, appealing to Mr. de Valera for a more commonsense attitude, declaring that the differences will have to be settled sooner or later and that if it is later it will be grave to the detriment of the econo- mic position of both countries. He paid a warm tribute to the attitude of the Irish delegation at Ottawa and suggested that if they persuaded their colleagues in Dublin to the Ottawa spirit, the dispute would quickly be smoothed away.
