Nazi Propaganda For I.R.A.
(Received 3 p.m.) ' RUGBY, May, 12. ft 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 ' IR A. ‘ The propaganda, the recipients of which appear to have been ■ selected from old I.R.A. lists, have 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, Dr. Goebbels. This propaganda, it is suggested by commentators, must have been prompted by the rather naive idea that .members of the I.R.A. are likely to be pro-German. Thp contents of the material itself are reported to be largely antiSemitic, and have aroused the comment that the choice of material is riot of the happiest, since the recipients formerly regarded themselves as a cruelly persecuted minority.
