Interview Editor' Note: Premier Eamon de Valera of Eire in the follow ing exclusive Interview with Wallace Carroll, manager of the London United Pre bureau, discusses Eire' determination to remain neutral and her refusal to surrender Irish naval base to Britain. De Valera told Car roll It was the fullest and most forceful interview he had givon In recent years. By WALLACE CARROLL Copyright 1(40 by United Pre DUBLIN, Eire, Nov. 21 (UP) Premier Eamon de Valera, lead er of a nation which has Just come through 25 year of war and economic conflict, spoke to day of Ireland' determination to remain neutral. In a frank talk across a green topped desk, he explained to me why he could not urrcnder to Britain naval base on the south and west coast of Ireland which Britain restored to Ireland In 1938. The Taloseach (head of the government) made it clear at the outset he did not wish to say anything which might foster ill feeling between Ireland and Brit ain. His consistent aim, he said, has been to obtain understand ing and goodwill. But lie made it equally clear Ireland will not change her attitude about tho bases. "It must be remembered." he said, "that these Irish ports had been held by Britain against the will of tho Irish people. In giv ing them back Britain was only restoring to Ireland what was her own. It was an act of resti tution. "I am not denying If one had been using something that be longs to another, to give it back to the rightful owner is sacri fice, and a repression of selfish ness which Is difficult. But If there is to be Justice in the world at all such sacrifices must be 1 made, . . To give us back tho port nnlv nn ennrlttinn thev urntilH hn relnrneri In nrllnln when thn wanted them would In fact bo not to restore them at all. And at the time of tho agreement In 11)38 it was made quito clear, both In British parliament and ours, that restoration was abso lute and without conditions, ex pressed or Implied, This question, . ho continued.

It also is one which Involve the safety of our people. "You In the United States are 3,000 miles away from immedi ate bombing. If we handed over the ports to Britain we would thereby involve ourselves di rectly in the war with all its consequences. "You have seen what hap pened to London, notwithstand ing its defenses.

KLAMATH FALLS, ing a It is, what would happen to Dublin, Cork and other Irish cities relatively unprotected? No doubt we have to face these dan ger but no nation can be asked to court them, "I can understand Britain's position and if I could do any thing to relieve the suffering of the British people I would do so. All our international efforts of ycur past hava had as their principal purpose the saving of tho peoples of Europe from their present plight. "Our principal purpose now must be to save our people. We think of the world as a whole because we are part of It. But it is primarily with the welfare of our own people that the Irish government must concern it self." I drew De Valera's attention to press statements that it would bo Just as feasible for Ireland to lease ports to Britain as it was for Britain to lease base to the United State. "But there i no analogy at all," De Valera replied. "In one case It i leasing territory to a neutral. The other case It is leasing a neutral's territory to one belligerent to attack an other. "There is in this matter of course another difference be tween the United States and Ire land that should be noted," De Valera sold. "A great power like the United States is suffi ciently strong if it became in volved In war to Influence the course of the war. But Ireland is a small nation and cannot hope to do that. "Moreover, a great power even If it is defeated may retain its liberty although it may lose some of its possessions. But a small state like Ireland, if it In volve itself In war, risks the loss of everything, even it lib erty. It should accordingly avoid war if at all possible." I asked the Taloseach about reports in the British press the United States may try to per suade Ireland to lease the ports to Britain. In reply, Dc Valera said in view of the considerations which he had just mentioned Ireland could give only one reply. He further expressed conviction that as the United States itself is concerned with keeping out of war it could not at the same time ask Ireland to take a step which would bring Ireland Into war. Dc Valera then emphasized the Irish nation needs peace and pointed out Ireland has been harassed by wars of one kind or another for the past quarter of a century. It was not the first time T had heard "Dcv" as he is affection ately known In Ireland speak for peaoe when war was, in tha air.

In 1938 when I saw him presiding at the league assembly he al ready had made it clear Ireland would stay out of the approach ing conflict. The man across the desk from mo hod changed little.

Taloseach, by the . way, means "chief" and is pronounced "three-shook," with the accent on the first syllable. "Canada is a belligerent just as England is," he replied. "No arrangement of that kind would make our action other than an act of war, exposing us to imme diate attack." ' I remarked Britain recently seemed anxious lest Germany in vade Ireland. Can Ireland de fend herself if Germany at tacked? I asked. "I don't think Britain need have any anxiety on the score," replied de Valera. "We have pledged ourselves not to allow our territory to be used as a base of attack. "We have at present In men and material a stronger defen sive force than ever existed on this island before and we are constantly strengthening it. With added equipment we are trying to get we could make this island at least as difficult a proposition to invade as Britain is and it is not our fault if our equipment is not more complete. ' "If attacked we are at war with whoever attacks us." He denied with emphasis that large numbers of Germans were active In Ireland. Alto gether there were some 300 Ger mans here, one half of whom were refugees and of the re mainder practically all were of long residence. "Has the British government ever complained to you of un neutral conduct or of permitting enemy activities in Ireland?" I inquired. ' "Never," he replied., ...
