DUBLIN. Feb. PA few hours
after l had talked 10 Prime Min
lister cannon De Valera the pro-
British Irish Times brought 10 his
attention a story that had APP
peared in the London Daily Tele-
graph cabled by its special cor
respondent in Lisbon and printed
under the heading. "Willkie Tells
De Valera" The story said:
cit il learned from sources
which were in close touch with
Wendell Willkie when he passed
through here, that IL was at
Cardinal Hinsley's instigation
that he visited Ireland.
EDITORS NOTE: Arthur
Cardinal Hinsley primate of the
Roman Catholic Church in Great
Britain. has tried 10 impress
upon De Valera the British
views on the subject of Irish
neutrality
ASK COOPERATION
'willkie told De Valera that
Irish Catholic opinion In the
United States did not support
his attitude toward Britain. but
desired full cooperation against
Germany without insisting on a
United Ireland a. q condition.
"WilllSie said De Valera was
much impressed and reverted to
the subject repeatedly during
the talks. Willkie got the i'm
preston that De Valera might
revise his attitude toward Bril-
tain and ultimately might even
consider the question of giving
bases"
Having called that version OF
WILKES hit : and run visit to
De Valera's attention, the Irish
Times then printed the Irish
chiefs verdict;
1T il completely devoid Of
any foundation"
TOLD IN CONFIDENCE
About 10 American newspaper
men in London know WILKES
version Of his brief visit with
De Valera. All of us agreed that
what Willkie told us was off the
record" Nor am I at liberty to
quote De Valera on anything he
told me during the hour and 25
minutes we talked in Dublin.
But this I can report without
condolences and without
fear of contradiction:
II Willxie or any other man
tells President Roosevelt or
Prime Minister Churchill that
he has shaken" De VaIera's
firm resolve to maintain abso-
lutte neutrality or that De Valera
Is in such a precarious political
position at home that he will
turn any backiip to save his
own skin: then such a reporter
would either be mistaken or else
deliberately incorporating the
facts.

ESSENTIAL AXIOMS

There are three axioms essen
tial to a clear understanding of
this particular phase of the unend-
ing Irish problem"
First; IL Fire unified behind
De Valera in his neutrality
stond?
The answer is. ennphatically yes!
More than any other leader in
Irish history, more than ever be-
fore during his own career,
De Valera enjoys the unity Of
Fire. On his own neutrality pol
icy. he has support that is far
deeper and broader than the sup
port President Roosevelt has for
his own foreign policy.
Second; IL De Voieya's neu.
frolity absolutely boianeed7
Again the answer is, emphati-
cally yes.
am convinced that with the
exception of small group of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. there is no
pro-Nazi feeling in Fire. Among
some extremist elements - which
have been vigorously suppressed
by De Valera there is pro.
German feeling that is rooted in
and fed by hate for Britain
Third Whot does De Valera
Uont from Britoin thot DU r7ohe
Ere neutral or Britoin,a side"1
The answer Is: Arms High
and low IN Ere the people vii
remind you that tire frishnen vii
fight TO the death against any
invader. --..-..-.....-...----
Last June when an invasion
was expected. 100000 Irishmer
swarned 70 the colors. On thu
basis of population that would be
the equivalent of an army Of
5000 600 in America.
If England armed those 200, 00C
1rishmen adequately, she coulc
forget her western front: shs
could withdraw some hundred
thousand British troops believed
70 be quartered in Northern Ire
land.

British Ship Losses
Third Nazi Claims,
Lord Halifax Says
Toll Is Heavy, Envoy
Admits, bur Stresses
Reich Exoeeerotion

German claims of British ship
losses during the month of February
were almost exactly three times
the truth" Viscount Halifax, the
British Ambassador, said today.
That is an immense exaggera-
ton" the Ambassador added in
talking with reporters at the State
Department, "and it is an interest
ing speculation as to why they are
doing it"
Lord Halifax said he did not mean
to say the British losses were not
formidable, but desired to emphasize
the eXaggeration of the German
claims.
The Ambassador and Richard G.
Casey, the Australian Minister,
conferred together with Secretary
of State Hull for nearly an hour on
what Lord Halifax described as the
past, the present and the future" of
the world situation.
Our general judgments and esti-
mates very much coincide and we
find common agreement about the
value of the information and facts
before us" he added.
He refused to be drawn into a dis
cuSSion of whether the prospects
were viewed optimistically or pes
simistically, explaining that he, Mr..
Casey and Mr.. Hull had balanced
view" of the situation.
The conference was one of series
for discussion of mutual interests
Of the United States. Great Britain
and Australia, including conditions
in the Far East.

Potential feminine drivers of
American Red Cross ambulances,
with an eye on gathering war clouds,
went through their PAGES on the
wind~swept Mall yesterday, and the
only casualty was a frost-bitten
wire haired terrier whose mistress
left him out in the cold until she
had finished her tests.
Thirty women in all--members
of the American Red Cross Volun-
teer Motor Corps-drove their cars
in a series of tests designed to 10
cate the best prospective operators
of ambulanceS.
Conducted by A. A. A. Aide.
The demonstration, sponsored by
the Red Cross and the American
Automobile Association, was staged
on jefferson drive between Sixth
and Seventh streets NV, in an
area marked off by park police.
In shining limousineS and battered
family coupes, a cross section of
Washington and nearby women
turned out for the tests developed
and supervised yesterday by Prof.
Amos E. Neyhart, national A. A A
consultant on road training. The
demonstration marked the first ex-
tenSive field work by the volunteers
who have gone through classroom
course on driving and repairs of
automobiles
Each woman had to drive as near
as possible over a 4-inch wide white
line extending for ITS feet along
the street and then pass through
two stanchions with only a 6-inch
clearance on either side. At the
end of the course" they were re-
quired to stop on two white spots.
Bottle Gauges Smoothness.
Prof Neyhart explained that those
who overshot the spots were rear
end drivers" type of motorist
who tries to ride up on a rear
bumper. Passage through the
stanchionS was to test their ability
to move in narrow spaces, something
every Washington motorist is well
acquainted with.
An empty milk bottle was car
ried on the floor of each machine
during the test to find those who
drove smoothly. An upset bottle
was marked against the contestant.
Later additional stanchions were
set up along the white line at 25-
