IRELAND NOT NEUTRAL
If any further evidence had been needed to prove that
Ireland’s proclaimed netutrality is only a pretense it was forth
coming: in the Associated Press report filed from Belfast in
Northern Ireland by Roger D. Greene and giving information
which his orgranization was not permitted to send out of
Dublin even though printed on the front page of Eamon De
Valera’s own newspaper.
That newspaper was authority for the report that both
the German and Japanese envoys attended an Irish Red Cross
function St. Patrick’s night at Dublin castle, but even though
thus published in Ireland the censors would not permit the
Associated Press to send the story out of the counti^ and itf
representative ihad to go across the frontier to file it for
American and other countries.
Although the German and Japanese diplomats, heads
and directors of the Axis espionage system in Ireland, were
present, and certainly invited, the American minister was not
Invited, nor was the British minister present, probably not
Invited.
The circumstances, together with De Valera’s bitter
words about “those two powerful but misguided nations, the
United States and Britain,’’ and the angry explosion he staged
when the American minister presented the request from
Washington that the German and Japanese diplomats be
ousted, serve to indicate which side he la
avors to win the war
and where his sympathies are.
It was not because De Valera and his people were so
neutral in their attitude toward the belligerents that Ireland
refused to permit the Allies to use her harbors as bases for
fighting the German submarines, a refusal which has cost
many an American ship and an untold number of American
and British lives, Including perhaps a"tot of good Irishmen
who were patriotic members of our fighting forces.
What help or benefit can Ireland expect to obtain from
Germany after the war is over—or from the victorious Al
lies?—The Charlotte Observer.
COW vs. SOYBEAN
Henry Ford, who thinks much and talks little, foresees
the eventual passage of the cow, like Mr. Dodo, that ancient
bird which is no more. Mr. Ford is quoted as saying that
make the cow unnecessary either for meat or milk production
in five years. He doesn’t predict such early elimination of
the cow, but believes it altogether possible to render the cow
unnecessary if chemurgists learn to utilize all the varied food
qualities of the bean and the public is educated to its use.
Mr. Ford expressed a somewhat similar idea of the “ex
pensive” cow and her limited output a few years back when
the soybean was becoming po'pularized in the Midwest. Tre
mendous progress has been made since that time in the pro
cessing of a wider variety of products from the rich protein
of the humble soybean.
