Eire is

Neutral

(In its own)

sort of way)

IN war, as in peace, Ireland is a country divided against itself. Northern Ireland, Six counties

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 Valera 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 Road-above whose por- tico in flown the swastika flag of the Nazi Reich,

In the last war Ireland was gar- risoned by a larga army of British troops, who had to face not only the threat of n possible German

At the same time, Mr. de Valern would probably be the Best to nd- mit that if the Royal Navy were severely crippled Ireland could not fong continue to be that "sovereign state" Independent democratic which its constitution affirms it to be. Elre's Permanent Defence Force consists of 590 oleers und 5,500 N.C.O.s and men with a re- serve of 234 officers, $,750 N.C.O.S and men, and a Volunteer Force of 300 officers and 15,000 N.C.Os and

nien.

All men between the ages of 18 and 25 years are required to com- plete a period of initial training with the Permanent Force, followed by a period of annual training in camp. Altogether Edre might be able to put into the field an army of some 40,000 men, which would be, of course, entirely in- adequate for defence against ony invasion by a great power, and might seem to be hardly sufficient

to prevent the utilisation of the country's consta by enemy sub- marines and acroplanes.

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

Since 1921, however, there has been no British army in Elre, and In 1938 even the three naval bases mentioned above were handed over with all their equipment to the Irish defence forces. The respon 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 that, British soldiers, nailors, and alr- men who land on the soll of Eire face the likelihood of internment,
