 Armed rebellion against the British invader is an ever present possi bi1ity, MT. de Valera said. Whether it will break out depends almost en- tirely on the conduct of the British forces and the speed with which foreign countries recognize the island as political entity, he asserted.
 ''It is discouraging, this fighting for recognition, always against odds, and no one can answer what a desperate people might do," he declared. 'The facts are that Ireland has signified to the world her will, and the world must be made to recognize this. We hope through the aid of the American people and other nations to gain our rishtful place. If they refuse-who can say?"

 The Council recognizes that the va rious European countries are in very large measure interdependent It is also recognized that unstable conditions are practically world wide and are due largely to the big trade balance against Europe a trade bal ance of probably 1000 millions per annum to thea bad. In the case of
 Great Britain this adverse balance
 has been largely rectifed because ex- ports have almost, if not quite over taken i'm ports. In Europe generally
 this is not the case. One of the aims of the Council is to consider how the
 general adverse trade balance can be rectified. These are broadly, the prin- ciples upon which the economic sec i ton of the Supreme Council in Lon- l don is basing it's Investigations When | the facts have been ascertained the l question of the remedies will be con, | sidered.

An of. fcial report is shortly expected on the findings of the Supreme Council Included in a preliminary report by the Council were the following ob- servations.
 The important discussion on high prices and exchanges was continued at Downing street, when the following were present: Lloyd George, MT Chamberlain, Sir Auckland Geddes Sir Robert Horne and MT. McCurdy M Francois Marsai, Signor Nitti and Signor Beneduce, Baron Moncheur (the Belgion ambassador in addi- ton to financial and economic ex. perts.
 This discussion of economic ques tions was an important one and the facts which were ascertained includ- ed the following increase in whole sale prices: France 800 per cent Italy, 300 per cent; Great Britain ITO per cent; Japan, 160 per cent America 120 per cent.
 These figures were accepted by tht representative of the nations whose delegates were at the conference The American figure was accepted but America was not represented Economic conditions in Germany were investigated, and the conference re cognized that in Germany the popu 1ation is receiving less than half O the normal food calories estimated by the Supreme Economic Council t be required for adequate sustenance
 It will be thus seen that there i no ground for allegations that ou late enemies are suffering less thai the Allies. The aDove comparison are between present wholesale price and pre-war wholesale prices.
