WILL REMAIN NEUTRAL
ATTITUDE OF IRELAND
(Reed. Dec. 26, 9 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 25.
In a Christmas Day broadcast to America, the Prime Minister of Eire, Mr. E. de Valera, said: “It is our duty to Ireland to try and keep out of this war, and with God’s help we hope to succeed. If it should be that we are attacked, our people and friends everywhere will already know of our determination to resist to the utmost of our power. We are a people united as perhaps never before in history. Unless \Ve are attacked, any change from neutrality would destroy this unity.”
