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.
