NAZI PROPAGANDA
CIRCULATION IN EIRE
POLICE INVESTIGATING
(British Official Wireless.)
(Received May 13, 1.30 p.m.)
RUGBY, May 12,
It is reported from Dublin that the police there are investigating the circumstances in which, according to evidence which has come into their possession, Nazi propaganda material has been sent to ex-members of the Irish Republican Army. The propaganda, the recipients, of which ' appear to have been selected from old I.R.A. lists, has been issued by the Department of Propaganda of the Third Reich in Hamburg, and includes, it is stated, a letter signed by the Minister of Propaganda. f This propaganda, it is suggested by commentators, must have been promoted by the rather naive idea that the members of the I.R.A. are likely to be proGerman.
The pontents of the material itself are reported to be largely anti-Semitic, and have aroused the comment that the choice of the material is not of the happiest, since the recipients formerly regarded themselves as a cruelly persecuted minority.
