THAT the IRA, is receiving packets of dollars from the United States and that classes are being held at which men are taught how to make bombs, was disclosed in the Dail recently.
Asking for special powers which would authorise the internment of persons suspected of activities against the State, Mr. Boland, Minister for Justice, said the raid on the magazine fort in Phoe- nix Park should have made everybody realise the neces- sity of the Government possessing such authority.
Sometimes it was said that the I.R.A. intended to raid Northern Ireland and some- times that they intended to bring off a coup in Dublin.
"We cannot say what their inten- tions are," he said, "but we want to get hold of the arms and ammunition which they have got and keep these people under lock and key.","
"Violent Action" Plans It was within the knowledge of the Government that this body contemn- plated violent action of some kind. which no Government could tolerate.
Large sums of money had come from America for the IR.A. They had captured packets of American dollars with no labels but an intima- tion that the money had been sent for the I.R.A.
"We have a shrewd idea where it ls coming from," he added.
He described how captured docu- ments had disclosed how the IR.A. were holding classes at Drogheda, where men were taught how to make explosives, and bombs and detonn- tors. Sulphuric acid and chemicals were handled in secret.
Mr.
W. T. Congrave, Leader of the Opposition moved
an amendment
that consideration of the Bill should be adjourned until the Government Bill to amend the
had Introduced Constitution.
A
It was unreasonable, he declared, that people should be deprived of their liberties on mare suspicion.
"Assassination Aim"
use arms
Mr. de Valera, replying, said that the Government held that intern- ment was not forbidden by the Con- stitution despite the Court Judgment. The illegal organisation were ap- parently prepared to against the State and to embroll it with neighbouring States. Such in- dividuals must be brought to book. "I believe that the ultimate end of the activities of these gentlemen must be assassination," sald Mr. James Dillon, pointing his finger across the House to where.Mr. de Valera was seated.
"God knows how many of us may be the victims of that campaign, but with that fully in mind I say we must face it."

"Petting" Nazi Prisoners
"UNHEALTHY sentimen. tal hysteria" was the term used in a B.B.C. broadcast about British people who sent gifts to German prisoners of

Major-General Sir Ernest Swinton, making his weekly "War Commentary," said:-
"I rend that ifte

"I would be far better if theso cranks censed to pet these prisoners, who, even though merely carrying fout orders, are the comrades at the
