Ireland Presses Self-Sufficiency Amid Debt Dispute With Britain
In a discussion of economic policy, Irish leader de Valera rejects full self-sufficiency, noting Ireland cannot be wholly independent of trade. He cites wheat production gains from 670000 acres to 170000 acres under farm support and predicts self-reliance in food, clothing and shelter is increasingly achievable. Britain’s demand for war debt payments contrasted with tariff penalties on U S imports is highlighted.
