TO KEEP NEUTRAL IN WAR
THE SLAUGHTER of three girls and the des- truction of a creamery in Co. Wexford by German bombs have heightened the feeling that the war is touching us more nearly week by week, writes a Dublin correspondent.
In spite of deep sympathy for the victims and their relations, the incident has so far created no wave of anti-German feeling, since it is assumed to have been due to a navigational error: but an apology and reparation are naturally expected from the German Government.

The Minister for Industry and Commerce referred to the exploit- ation in the past "by unscrupul ous persons" of the mistaken be lief that Ireland was teeming with updeveloped mineral wealth.
Here again one feels a certain surprise that such a remark should come from such a quar ter, for it is precisely the pro- pagandists of Separatism-from Wolfe Tone onwards who have been responsible for creating and maintaining the belief. Actually as the Minister said, the very scantiness of our mineral resour ces makes it imperative that they should be used to the best ad- vantage.
