Fear Of Nazi Aid
From Fifth Column
In Fire Expressed
Request for British Help
Suggested by Northern
Ireland Spokesman
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BELFAST, Northern Ireland, July
GA potential fifth column threat
ems Ireland" a highly placed North
ern Ireland source declared today.
He said 1t existed In extremists
of the outlawed Irish Republican
Army who always opposed the gov
ernment in authority" and in Ger
mans and Italians still residing in
ireland (Eire-the former Irish Free
State).
Calling the menace the same as
"the danger which conquered Nor
way" this spokesman declared:
ireland must not prove the
Achilles heel in the defense Of the
United Kingdom. We will hold on
no matter what Germans land"
North Ready to Help British.
Northern Ireland, he asserted, has
well-equipped men under arms and
ready Ito help the British Army
when it sets forth on it's duty to
protect our part of the British
Empire"
Northern Ireland is part of the
United Kingdom.
The solution, he said, is for Fire
Ireland-to request British military
aid.
Until Fire seeks and secures mil
itary cooperation of the. imperial
government" he added, Fire will
leave herself open to attack by
Germany.
Fire Has Poor Defense.
Fire does not possess military
strength to repel German invasion.
She has small army but is defense
less in the air and on the sea.
Any plan for the defense of Ire
land, North and South, must form
part of a wider plan for the defense
of Great Britain, Northern Ireland
and Fire"
Ireland, giving the Germans q
base for forays against the English
west coast, would be of high stra-
tegic value to any Nazi invasion OF
England.

Sweden Asking Pacts
With Reich for Close
Trade cooperation
Agreements Will Aim
To Restore NormuIcy
In Scandinavia
1y the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, July g. Sweden
openly entered a course of close CO.
operation with Germany today, its
aim a 'normalized Scandinavia,
Trade-the trade on which Sweden
depends for existeace-and the safe
guarding Of the nations Giving
space" were the objects sought
through multilateral agreements
with Germany, with German -domi-
mated Denmark and German con-
trolled Norway.
These agreements, expected to be
completed this week. were practical
manifestations of the new Swedish
policy indicated by Prime Minister
Per Hanson.
Hansson's policy is based on the
premise that, with the war in Nor
way ended and Swedens access to
British markets closed, the Swedes'
one hope of resuming business is
through trade with Germany and
Nazi-dominated areas.
Hope to Extend Trade Channels.
The new multilateral agreements
are designed to promote inter-
change of goods between the coun-
tries concerned. Negotiations with
Norway so far have concerned only
Sweden's trade with that country.
in other words there is no hope, as
yet, of using Norwegian or Western
Sweden seaports for trade with the
Americas.
An interesting feature of the Nor
wegian negotiations is that they
have been conducted with represent
atives of the existing regime The
position of the Norwegian Legation
here, linked with King Haakons
refugee government in England, is
not yet clarified.
Sweden's acquiescence last week to
a German request for permission to
send troops and supplies across
Swedish territory into Norway in
dicated the Stockholm government S
unwillingness to let anything stand
in the way of realistic settlement
with Germany.
Expect to Aid All States.
An informant close to the govern
ment said transit rights across
Sweden for Germany won't affect
the outcome of the war and restora-
ton of trade would help neighboring
Scandinavian states, as we'll as
Sweden, back to normalcy.
SWeden'S most important import
Is coal, which it can obtain under
present circumstances only from
Germany. It's most important ex-
port is iron ore, from which Ger
many is the only big customer in a
position to carry away what it buys.
