Friday, May 18, 1945 HITLER’S FRIEND' The Irish in America, Americans in general and the world at large, were astounded when it became known.that upon the report of the death of Adolph Hitler, announced as killed in Berlin, Prime Minister deValera of Eire, Ireland to most of us, called officially at the German legation to express his grief and to extend to Germany the condolences of the Iri^h people. ^ To the hundreds of thousands of Irish who have fought under the Starry Banner of America, under the British Union Jack, and under the Maple Leaf of Canada, this action on the part of deValera will be receivedi witih stunned unbelief. Americans will shudder that a man of that type should have ever been an American citizen. The Irish prime minister will never be able to explain to the good fighting Irish of this nation why he cihose to remain neutral in a war that was fought to preserve civilization. Why is Ireland a free nation today? The answer is— because Great Britain stood between it and deValera’s friend, Adolph Hitler. If Iteland had been on the European con tinent, it would have gone the way of Belgium, Holland and Norway, as well as many other minor nations. Prime Minister deValera does not recognize that old grievances against Great Britain.should be buried and for gotten, in view of the present day indebtedness that the Irish owes to the followrs of King George. * Eire should rejoice at the news that slimey vermin such as Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler and the like have been ex terminated from the world picture. Condolences at this time to the spawn of Satan arouses the (iisgust of every decent individual.
