-By Telegraph— Copyright).
Rec. Mar. 20, 5.5 p!m. LONDON, Saturday. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr Neville Chamberlain, speaking at Birmingham, and referring to the hew President of the Irish Pree State Da.il, Mr de Valera, said that Cabinet had not received ari official 'communication from the Pree State regarding the abolition of the oatb and the reteiition of the land annuities. Continuing, he said : "Until the reports are officially confirmed, I canriot assume that they are true. Nevertheless, in order to remove doubt concerning the British attitude, I woul 1 say that any suggestion that the solemn obligations of the agreement can be repudiated or varied as though they concerned one side alone, would cause Great Britain the gravest concern and if seriously pursued would undoubtedly revive bitterness and doubts which it is hope'd have been removed for ever."
