Eire is
Neutral
(In its own) sort of way)
IN war, as in peace, Ireland is a
country divided against itself. Six counties - Northern Ireland, that is-have joined in the fight against Nazi Germany; the twenty- six counties that make up Eire are neutral.
Shortly before the outbreak of war the German Minister in Dublin, Dr. Eduard Hempel, assured Mr. de Valera, Eire's Prime Minister and Minister for External Affairs, that if Germany should be in- volved in a European war the German Government would respect Eire's neutra- lity, and Mr. de Valora in reply informed Dr. Hempel that his Government wished, to remain at peace with Germany as with all other powers.
Thus it happens that there is still a German Legation in Dublin-No. 68, Northumber- land Rond-above whose por- tico is flown the swastika flag of the Nazi Reich.
In Northern Ireland—UIS- ter, as it is sometimes but not quite accurately - styled-the war is being prosecuted with "full ́vigour." "There is no con?” scription, but recruiting for the British armed forces is active, particulurly for the two regiments, the Royal Ulster Rifles and the Royal Irish Fusiliers, who have their headquarters in Northern Ire- land.
In Ere, on the other hand, no British uniforms are allowed to up- pear in the streets and no recruit- ing for the British armed forces is officially permitted--although, no difficulties are placed in the way of the young men of Eire who cross the Irish Sea with a view to en- listing in the Royal Navy Army, or the I.A.F.
the
Young Irishmen employed in Great Britain are able to be called up for militory, service un- less they prefer to return to Eire- which, we are told, many of themin have done.
In the last war Ireland was gur- risoned by a large aviny of British troups, who had to face not only the threat of à possible German invasion, but the ever-present like- lihood of a Sinn Feln rising.
Moreover, the Irish ports and harbours-in particular, Bercha- ven. Lough Swilly, and Queens- town (now styled Cobh)—were innde great use of by ships of the Royal Navy.
Since 1021, however, there has been no British army in Eire, and In 1838 even the three naval bases mentioned above were handed over with all their equipment to the The respon- Irish defence forces. sibility of preventing
the use of Irish waters by. German sub- marines, which in the last war fell to the Royal Navy, has now de. veloped on Mr. de Valera; and in accordance with the strict letter of neutrality it may be presumed Ultat British soldiers, sailors, and air- men who land on the soll of Eire face the likelihood of internment.
But while resolved to maintain her neutrality-an evidence of this resolve is the fact that Dublin has no Linck-out-Eire cannot be des- cribed as being pro-German.

There is still in the country an intransigent element presented by the Irish Republican Army, which to-day, us for many years past, regards England is the enemy; but the Irish people as a

whole are too striet in their Catho- Heist, and too sincere in their love of liberty, to be much affected by the propaganda of a pagan dicta- torship.
Mr. de Valera hanself may be duscribed as a good of League-of- Nations-man; as President of the Nineteenth Assembly of the League he sent on September 27, 1938 a telegram warmly supporting Mr. Chamberlain's peace effort on the eve of the Munich Conference. For him, as for Sion Feln generally, there can be no question of full co-operation with Britain in peace. or in war so long as the partition of Ireland continues.

All men between the ages of 18 and 25 years are required to com- plete a period of initial training with

If Ireland depends for her pro- tection upon Britain's navy. It is also true that a very large per- centage of her population deperd for their livelihood on the British market. In spite of Mr. de Va- lera's efforts to make Elre largely self-supporting and to give much cemployment as possible of n varied character to the Irish people, "Ireland and Britain are, economie- ally speaking, mutually dependent.

Another yachtsman, who was caught in the typhoon yesterday was Mr. T. P.
