DE VALERA IS DEFIANT OVER BRITISH THREAT Economic War Would Not Halt Fight on Oath of Allegiance, He Says. iCoovrilht. 1332, bv United Prewi DUBLIN, April 21—Great Britain's strongest argument to dissuade Ireland from nbolishnig the nath of Allegiance the threat, of an economic war. will not, turn Irish Republicans from their indeoendence goal. President Eamon De Valera said today. De Valera has achieved the first step in his program, passage by the Dail of the first reading of the bill aimed to abolish the oath of allegiance from the Free State constitution. Retention of the *15.000,000 yearly land annuities paid Britain also Is included In the De Valera program. "The Irish Free State is hv far the best customer Great Britain has," De Valera said. "We buy more goods from her than she buys from us. "Last year the Frpe State was, with the exception of South Africa, the only important customer of Great Britain with whom that country had a favorable balance ol trade. "British statesmen are not likely to embark wantonly on a line ot action which would interfere with a trade position so advantageous to their country.” De Valera's opinion is not shared hv the Cosgrave element and most British observers. If Britain holds the. abolition of the oath to be a breach of the treaty of 1321, binding Ireland to the British rmpire, the British government has two means of reprisal •—military and economic. The first, generally is believed out of the question. The second has been regarded as Britain's trump card. Internal peace will not come to Ireland. De Valera believes, until the oath is removed.
