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

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,

"You In the United States are
3,000 miles away from immedi

the ports to Britain we would
thereby involve ourselves di
rectly in the war with all its
consequences.

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. Five years ago In the as

ho made a fervent but unan
swered appeal for a "peace con
ference" which would meet be
fore war could break out and try
to remove the causes of war. 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.

ful man with a vibrant Irish

I ssked the Taloseach about
tho proposal mads by the Cana
dian parliament that Ireland
should lease the ports and air
bases to Canada instead of Brit
aln. 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., ...
"Iodine" was taken from the
Greek word meaning "violet,"
because of its violet-colored va
por. The kingfisher, a bird which
is an expert at catching fish, is
