TRADE WAR FACES BRIFISH AND IRISH MacDonald and De Valera Fail to Agree on Plan to owners for land reclaimed for. Irish farmers. When the semi-annual land an- nuities payment was not made on June 15 the British government immediately prepared to retaliate by a tariff tax on Pree State imports through which it hoped to collect the amoun€s due. The Free State government replied to this last week by sponsoring a bill for a similar tariff on British imports, Leaving today for his home, atLossle- mouth, Scotland, for a long vacation ordered by his physicians, Prime Min- ister MacDonald said he was disap- pointed with the rest of yesterday’s ne- the ' | floor.
