MONDAY, APRIL gj. 1342 Know.What's. Best For Eire," Declare Irish btanding Pat On Their Belligerent Neutrality Police Seeking Suspects Two district robberies totaling a considerable quantity of loot were reported during the weekend, as well as the theft of three automobiles.

Tile robberies included one late Friday night or early Saturday at the Lynn store of the Lynn "Supply company, and one some 24 hours later at the Davis Beer garden, 308 Morgantown street. Thieves who entered the Lynn Station store by forcing a rear window were reported to have taken 50 cartons of cigarettes and some 35 pounds of sugar. Loot at the local establishment, including cash hidden on the premises and money from a pinball ma-' caine, was reported at about $60, Both robberies were discovered when the places were opened on the morning after the raids, but little could be found on which to base'an investigation. Two automobiles were stolen within an hour' from the Graf parking lot, including a 1941 Buic owned by J. M.

By JAMES TIUIASHER NEA Service Staff Writer "Unless something that is practically a miracle happens, we shall, despite our efforts- perhaps be forced into war," Thus Eamon de Valera, Eire's Prime Minister, summed up his country's precarious position in a recent speech. He did not speculate, in this much-qualified warning! when and how the miracle might be forthcoming. If it is to be from within his own government its operation Is not yet publicly apparent. CLINGS HARD TO NEITTRALITY Outwardly Eire still clings to the apprehensive but aggressive neutrality that, two and a half years, has kept her clear of the embroilment involving her neighbor, England, and Nazi Germany.

Eire's neutrality, responsible Irishmen insist, is inspired, not by hatred of England, but by a dispassionate conviction of what is best for the country's present and! future welfare.

RARE AT LIBRARY RICHMOND, Va. (UP) The Richmond public library's idea of keeping the reading room open on Sunday afternoons for soldiers and sailors work out so well. Dur- Ing the first month. of the new plan, only four men in uniform visited' the library on Sunday. Northern Ireland.

U.S. troops Urc stationed British bases would give defense ngainst "back door" invasion and aid to anti-submarine Mr. de Valera has stated that ir the case of Eire's invasion by elthe Germany or England, he i would call upon the other party to help repe it. His pursuit of this policy has In volved some delicate wire walking i-. the course of which he has man aged to avoid committing himself either power and to maintain th promise of assistance from Eire's principal grievance agains England is, of course, the separation of the six counties of Northern Ire land from the republic.

This has been aggravated by the landing English and American troops in Ul ster. Sire feels that the United States government, by sending an AJ3J 1 to Ireland, has condoned Eng land's partition of the country. Mr de Valera contends that "the parti tion of Ireland was no different in essence from the partition oT Po land," and that its evils are no than those over which the American Civil War -was fought. Germany was quick to take ad vantage of this feeling. Soon after the English force reached Ulster the tfazi radio informed Eire that Eng land was about to invade her, and promised that in such an event Germany would react as she had in the case of Denmark and Norway.

The ominous overtones of this familial 'offer of protection" may well have Mr. de Valera's wrath. PEEVED BY LACK OP U. S. MUNITIONS Another Irish "grievance against the United States was Eire's failure to get arms under the lease- end arrangement while neutral Turkey was doing so.

Here, in es- ence, was the ironic reaction of one rishman: MARBLE GRABiTE GO. High Grade Memorials A. E. HAWKINS Phone 2657 468 Coolsprihg St Uniontown, Fa. OFPEN EVENINGS "If Americans are concerned for us let them send us, not soldiers, but weapons.

I know that Americans and Englishmen good soldiers. But I cherish in my soul the perhaps perverted notion that no one will fight harder to protect Irish soil than an Irish While the diplomatic maneuvering has been going on, Eke has been strapping on her sword and pulling in her belt. The country's military goal is an srmy of 250,000. Like all of the neutrals' some of the belligerents'--it will be extremely weak In air power and deficient in most mechanized units But Eire hopes at least to be self- sufficient in the matter of food, and the government's "Grow More Pood" campaign aims at 600,000 more acres under cultivation this year than last. Eire was resentful when American troops, like those above, were stationed In Northern Ireland.

However, nnder a German "back-door" invasion of England via Klre, as shown on map at left, Eire's defenders mlg-ht find their help very welcome. U. S. TROOPS MAY PROVE A BOON No irishman thinks, however, that his country can win alone if war comes. And perhaps the miracle that Mr.

do Valera Ls seeking may be found In the presence of the unwelcome soldiery of Northern Ireland. A German invasion of England can't yet be ruled out. Nor with the Nazi fleet still potent and Southern Ireland only a step by air from the French coast, is a possible backdoor thrust at England from Eire illogical. Then, with his unwanted northern protection removed, Mr. de Valera's '-all for help might be in vain.

As things now stand it seems that the decidedly, Jesser of neutral Eire's two evils is the presence of English and American troops in Ulster, and tho fact that they got there "fustest with the mostest."

(Plenty of whcatftdds Nebraska, Bat tfao thing that interests most about Nebraska right now fe very important social experi- Bient tho beer peopKs started several years ago. Beer itself is a beverage of moderation. Yet, all too often, people are inclined to blarno beer wrongly for any misconduct of tho customer or the proprietor in a place licensed to sell beer. So, the brewers got together to see what they could do about this. They weren't really responsible for their retailers in fact, they're not allowed to control retailers.

Hut the brewing industry worked out a plan by which it cooperates the public authorities to eliminate bad conditions in the minority of places whose condnct would reflect on the law-abiding: majority. The beer people urge proprietors of retail places to conduct them properly and to obey the law. They urge consumers to cooperate, and ask the public generally to report Jaw violations to the authorities. They send warnings to careless toilers and conditions arc not corrected they take the case ap with the authorities. Naturafly the authorities and the pobKc have welcomed this as an added force fai bwkftng respect for law and "Rsat program is novr-operang in many states and with the Nation at war, brewing industry organizations cooperate with civil and military authorities to assure good conditions in beer outlets around the army camps and navai stations.

If people really help the brewers with that program they'll be doing a great thing for the country. No. 38 of a Seria Copyright-, 1942, Braving Industr?
