NAZI PROPAGANDA
ACTIVITIES IN EIRE ALARMING PROPORTIONS INVESTIGATION BEING MADE (Independent Cable Service) (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, July 19. (Received July 19, at 11.15 p.m.) It has been announced that the 1 ominions Office and the Eireann authorities in Dublin are jointly investigating Nazi propaganda in Eire, which has developed in an alarming manner throughout the country, until recently it has taken the form of encouraging cultural relations, the Ministry of Education in Berlin awarding prizes to Irish children who showed proficiency in German, while engravings of pictures of famous German artists have been shipped to Dublin for distribution among schools. The Eire authorities are now trying to discriminate between Irish Republican Army extremists who are only anti-British and those who are anti-British and pro-German.
Mr James Dillon, a member of the Dail, addressing the annual convention of Hibernians in Dublin, said that three years sigo the danger of Communism was on the left but now the rising on the right was more formidable—the menace of German Nazism. The monster was growing to be the greatest threat to liberty and Christianity. The forces of Nazism were seeking to establish world dominion for their materialistic philosophy, which denied the existence of God.
