LONDON, March 19,
“The Times” states that the Irish Free State Executive of Ministers has suspended, the • Public Act-, which was passed by the Cosgrave Administration. ; f ' ''-<■> ! ”
lhe Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr Neville Chamberlain, speaking at Birmingham, made reference to Mr De Valera. He said the British Cabinet had not received any official communication from the Irish Free State, regarding the abolition of the oath and the retention of the Irish land annuities. “Until these reports have oeen officially confirmed,” he said, “I cannot assume that they , are correct. Nevertheless, in order to -remove any doubt concerning Britain’s attitude, I would say that any suggestion that solemn obligations of agreements can b,e repudiated or varied as though they concerned one side alone would cause Britain the grayest concern, and n, seriously pursued, would undoubtedly revive bitterness and differences, which it was hoped had been removed for ever.” ,
