De Valera Sends His Greetings to America BY EAMON DE VALERA President of the Irish Free State. (Copyright. 1935, by United Press) DUBLIN. March 16—On the occasion of St. Patrick’s Day I send greetings to our friends in America. During the past year steady progress has been made toward our respective national and economic independence. Our people once more have shown their power of endurance, their unconquerable national will, and their sound judgment. They have co-operated with the government loyally in all its efforts. While agriculture in Ireland, as in all countries, continues depressed, the rapid expansion of secondary industries here is providing an ever increasing home market for our produce. For example we are now producing all our requirements in flour and 80 per cent, of our sugar requirements. We are producing a large proportion of our needs in boots, shoes, woolen men's clothing and other manufactures. Our social services have been still further improved and a national housing scheme to provide decent housing conditions for all is being successfully operated. Confidence in the future of the country is encouraging the investing public to supply the capital needed for our development. Many recent capital issues have been over-subscribed. Increased railway traffic receipts and fewer bankruptcies are indications of the trend of our economic life. The advances made in the last three years in the face of external pressure and internal difficulties caused by our hitherto unbalanced national economy give hope for greater achievements in the next few years.
