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 neutrai.

Shortly before the outbreak of war the German Minister in Dublin, Dr. Eduard Hempel, assured Mr. de Valera, Eire's Prime Minister und 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. 58, Northumber- land Road-above whose por- tico is flown the swastika flag of the Nazi Reich.

whole are too strict in their Catho- Jielsrn, and too sincere in their love of liberty, to be much affected by the propaganda of a pagan dieta- torship.

Mr. de Valera himself may be described 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 Slan Fein generally, there can be

no question of full

peace"

In Northern Ireland-Uls- 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-co-operation with Britain active, particularly for the two or in war so long as the partition regiments, the Royal Ulster

of Ireland continues, Rifles and the Royal Irish Fusillers, who have their headquarters in Northern Ire- land,

In Eire, 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 dileulties are placed in the way of the young men of Elre who cross the Irish Sea with a view to en- listing

in the Royal Navy, the Army, or the B.A.F.

Young Irishmen employed in Great Britain are liable to be called up for military service un- less they prefer to return to Elre- which, we are told, many of them have done.

In the last war Ireland was gar- rlaoned by a large army of British troops, who had to face not only the threat of a possible German invasion, but the ever-present like-

hood of a Sinn Fein rising.

Moreover, the Irish ports and Harbours-in particular. Bercha- ven, Lough Swilly, and Queens- town (now styled Cobh)--were made great use of by ships of the Royal Navy.

Since 1921, however, there has been no British army in Eire, and in 1938 even the three naval basca mentioned above were honded over with all their equipment to the Irish defence forces.

The The respon- ability of preventing the use of Irish watera 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, 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 black-out-Elro cannot be des- cribed as being pro-Gorman.

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

At the same tice, Mr. de Valers would probably be the first to ad- init that if the Royal Navy were severely crippled Ireland could not long continue to be that "sovereign Independent democratic

Altogether Eire might be able to put into the field an army of some 10,000 men, which would be, of course, entirely in- adequate for defence against uny invasion
