THE ANNUITIES. ATTITUDE OF MR DE VALERA. .United Piess Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) • LONDON, August 24. , Mr Cosgrave, leader of tne Fianna Fail (Opposition) Party in the Dail Eireaijn, in a (speech at Dublin said : “President de Valera’s attitude is good politics but it is bad law and worsd morals. There is no hope in legal argument for the retention; of the annuities. • » ; .. The so-called secret agreement that was-made-in 1923, saved the Irish taxpayer the expense of the establishment iof a new Government Department. Moreover, it imposed on Britain, 'a .'liability of nearly one million sterling yearly, which the Free State would otherwise have .to bear.”
Mr- Cosgrave added :- “If Britain secures the remission of",her war debts, then her stability under the agreement of 1925 may be reduced thus resulting in the possibility of a case arising for the remission of the annuities.”
