NAZI-ISM MENACE
PROPAGANDA IN EIRE ALARMING DEVELOPMENT PRIZES FOR. CHILDREN CREED DENOUNCED (Klre. To]. Copyright—lTiitod Press Assn.) ( Independent Cable Service.) (Reed. July 20. 9 a.m.) LONDON, July 19. It is announced that the Dominions Office and the Eire authorities in Dublin are jointly investigating Nazi propaganda in Eire which has developed alarmingly throughout the country until it has recently taken the form of encouraging cultural relations, the Ministry of Education in Berlin awarding prizes to Irish children who showed proficiency in German. Also, engravings of pictures of famous German artists were shipped to Dublin for distribution among the schools.
The Eire authorities are now trying to discriminate between Irish Republican Army extremists, who are only anti-British and those who are antiBritish and pro-German.
Mr. James Dillon, a member of the Dail, addressing the annual convention of Hibernians in Dublin, said that three years ago the danger of communism was on the left. Now rising on the right .was the more formidable menace of German Naziism—a monster growing to be the greatest threat to liberty and Christianity. The forces of Nazi-ism were seeking to establish world domination for 'their materialistic" philosophy which denied the existence of God.
