ABSOLUTE LIBERTY
IRISH OBJECTIVE
Economic War of De Valera
and Free State Against
Britain Bitter.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DUBLIN, August lebanon De
Calera and the Irish Free State nave
embarked upon as bold course as any
small nation ever undertook.
Its goal is to make Ireland entirely
independent, economically as well as
politically, and it has been set gong
under forced draught by the economic
warfare which has blazed up between
Ireland and her ancient enemy across
st. Georges channel.
An economic war is not pleasant puSl-
ness, and that between Britain and the
Free State is no different from any
other. There is already suffering on
zach side, and it may be intenslned ten-
fold before peace is achieved
Many Are Affected.
The Irish farmer. the British miner,
the Irish trader and the British indus
trialist are all hit. =.
There is obstinacy in high places III
Britain. and there is an equal ooStlnacy
in Ireland, both born OF centuries u
bitter controversy.
mt the greatest obstacle to Anglo
Irish peace is the growing conviction IN
the minds of the vigorous, active ana
determined Separatist element IN Ire
land that this economic war is bless-
ing in disguise. I'll.
To De Valera the opportunity seems
tailormade 1t gives concrete basis on
which to agitate for an independent re-
public. which was otherwise largely po-
litical theory hard to make effective.
1T is encouraging to realize, the
President told the Senate, that the
result of this economic war VIII De 10
nut this nation in the direction OF
6o +r-voo nf aPOn0n1v that VIII
be better for her citizens and safer. for
the state as whole. In the past we
recognized that our weakness econom-
ically was the fact that we had to
depend on one market for the great
portion of our exports"
Ireland exports almost to no other
nation save England. These ran TO
$4,000 900 in 1880 She bought in the
same wear f44000000 worth of goods
from England India bought only
100000 more than that.
SeIf-Support Aim.
Constantly De Valera has stressed the
point that he is striving to put Ireland
in a position to feed and clothe herself,
and that if Irishmen have to sell at a
sacrifice in order to buy what they
have not got they will be more inclined
to keep their imports at the lowest
possible level.
Britain, in the opinion of many
political writer's here, has hurried De
Valera along a road which his limited
mandate gained in the last election did
not reckon. And that road leads toward
a republic.
Peace now may not even mend the
situation as far as trade is concerned.
De Valera, with an emergency fund OF
100000 to seek new markets, with
the nation swinging in behind him
despite the opposition which any such
dislocation of trade incurs, may not be
easily turned back.
The permanency of the Anglo-1rish
trade rift many Irish observers are
saying, seems almost assured.

How 1t Started
By JEAN NEWTON

The Tango
THAT the tango comes to us from
i Latin America is probably fairly
well known, but the knowledge that
it is a product Of the Argentine slums
might shock some of those who so
gracefully and light-he;irtly trip the
toe Terpsichore to this foreign music.
The tango came into it's own about
thirty years ago, originating in the
submerged section of the City Of
Buenos Aires.
1t was early characterized by con-
tortions, acrobatic kneelings and bend
ings, some of which positions are still
practiced in this dance.
Today's tango is considerably
Slowed down." the steps being mod!-
fed by modern tango masters, with
view of making dignified and
graceful ballroom affair out of what
was at first almost a frenzied per-

lice were plenty busy on their own
account brushing moths out Of the
station houses.
These moths probably rode in on
the night wind. Something queer al
ways is being brought into New York
on the wings of the wind. Last year
it was swarm of grasshoppers. A
few of them even came in open Win
dows as high up as the twentieth
story.
George Washington is reputed to
have thrown dollar across a river,
but the states of New York and New
Jersey threw a Washington bridge
across a river and the result for the
year Is expected to be million dol
lars in toll fees. That's nothing. The
Holland tunnel makes $2,500,OO0 a
year.
For a long time, it was the fashion
to be lean and hungry looking. Now,
If you look that way, people merely
put 1t down to the depression.
