LONDON, July 25. FIFTY-FOUR members
of the IRA.-forty-seven men and seven women-are now in English jails serving penal servitude sentences totalling 604 years.
There is not one of them even the eight sentenced to twenty years apiece-who does not believe that he will be free in a year or two,
The man who discovered their optimism is a Scotland-yard chief who has had to question each of them. He said: "Every one of them has the implicit belief that there will be! an amnesty after a year or so, and that they will be repatriated to Ire land. Several summers and winters will have to pass before they will be convinced otherwise.
This Is the one reason why heavy sentences have not been so effective a deterrent as we expected, At the first irial Mr. Justice Hum- phreys, passed sentences totalling 152 | years. There have been ninety-five bomb attempts since then.
"I tlak the men should be plainly told that they are going to serve every I day of their sentences."
Scotland-yard belleve that they are now definitely on top. and that they are reaching a position when the I.R.A. campaign will be gradually stamped out.
83 Convictod
Actually 156 alleged members of the IR.A. have been in the hands of the police since January, but many have been released because there was no evidence against them.
Of those arrested in connection with the outrages eighty-three have been convicted; Atty-four have been sent to penal servitude, the others to ordinary imprisonment or Borstal.
Finance of the 1.RA. war provides an interesting study.
On one side there is the army of 200 trained detectives dealing only with L.R.A. Investigations-all earn- Ing approximately 28-u week-plus a possible police reserve of 10,000 men in times of emergency.
On the other is Sean Russell, with funds said to total £550,000, mostly collected in America, and his bomb squad of 120 to 150 men, eith draw- ing £3 a week, plus the cost of the defence of those members of the 1.R.A.. who get caught.
Thirty-five members of the public have been injured since January. Recently was announced that James Bastow, seventeen-yeur-ald newspaper vanboy, has lost the sight of his left eye following the explosion in Piccadilly,

It was in November that the first suspicion of the war to come reach- ed the special branch. Late night a van broke down in an Ilford side street. A policeman, walking up to it, more out of curiosity than any- thing else, discovered that the van contained more than a ton of ex- plosive puwder. He detained the Irish driver and his companion for inquiries.
The First Blow
The special branch were able to tell the judge at the Old Balley a few weeks later that both men were officers of the Irish Republican Army. The first blow, delivered by the LILA. on the morning of January 16, was planned to cripple the entire electrical system. Time bombs were placed against pylons in many cities. But the plan was nullided to a large extent because rain damped the fuses. Since that day the Commissioner of Scotlund-yard has signed some thing like 450 search warrants, and Yard vans have moved more than fourteen tons of explosives out of the reach of the LRA.
The Yard cannot guarantee that there will be no more outrages: They are satisfied that recent steps taken will make things far more diffl- cult for the Irishmen, but they also belleve that they could kill the cam- paign in month it some form of passport system were introduced for travellers from Eire, and if they were given powers to prevent sus- pects going where they please.
