De Valera Says Fire
Was Not Consulted

DUBLIN, Jan. % R.-Eamon de
Valera. the Brooklyn born Prime
Minister Of neutral Fire, vigorously
protested last night the landing OF
United States troops across the
border in Northern Ireland and
the renewed emphasis thus placed
on the rift between Fire and the
six counties Of the north.
Washington displayed scant
sympathy for Mr.. de Valera's
protest. There was no official
comment, but President Roose-
velt made 1t plain that he re-
garded the protest as inconse-
quential)
Mr.. de Valera based his protest
on the fact that Irish govern
ment was mot consulted either by
the British government or the
American Government" on the ar
rival Of the troops.
simultaneously Minister Of Sup
plies Sean Lemass, in a speech here
last night, declared Fires independ-
ence and neutrality faced increas-
ing danger and might have their
supreme test in the coming year
He made no further elaboration on
that statement

Dutch and Australian naval and air
forces, and of Japanese admissions,
showed today that the Allies had
sunk or damaged 14s Japanese naval

Revision of the score Is possible,
however, because of possible dupli-

BELFAST, Northern Ireland, Jan.
28.-Prime Minister John M. An
drews told Parliament here today
that Eamon de Valera, Prime Min
lister of Ere, had no right to protest
the arrival Of United States troops
in Ulster (Northern Ireland.
CDe Valera contended that the
debarkation of United States
on the northern side of the bor-
der emphasized the split which
led to the partition Of Ireland in
1921; was carried out despite the
express will Of the Irish people;
and his government was not con-
sulted)
"As head Of the government Of q
neighboring neutral state" Mr.. An
drews said, "he Ode Valera) evi-
IDENTIFY resents the arrival of Amer
ican troops here. No doubt he
would have prevented it If he could,
just as he has denied to Britain and
the United States use Of naval bases
In Fire.
This folly has meant the sacrifice
OF many thousands of gallant lives
In the battle of the Atlantic. Fire
Is In no less danger Of invasion by
Germany than Britain and Northern
Ireland. II such an attack were
made, the people of Fire would be
glad Of any help they could secure,
whether British or American.
ut is our duty and our privilege
not only to welcome the American
troops, but to facilitate them to the
uttermost In the task in which they
are engaged" Andrews continued.
Northern ireland is in the fight
for freedom and intends to see it
through.
With q check for 81 900, 900 as a
f1rst move, United States Army au-
thorities have opened an account in
Northern Ireland bank to pay for
the needs Of the force landed here

SOMEWHERE IN NORTHERN
IRELAND, JAN 28-United States
troops newly established in North
ern Ireland were called from their
beds before dawn today to begin
learning the business Of what to do
and how to behave in case of Nazi
air raid.
Their first day in camp yesterday
was free for the men to settle down
in their new surroundings and rest
from a firing ocean trip. But when
the bugle sounded this morning it
meant that an arduous training
program was being resumed.
Oficials do not conceal their con-
Germ that the German air force
may attempt to give the troops in
the new encampments taste OF
bombing.
A German bomber was engaged
by ground batteries not far away
at the moment the troops were
landing
All the camps, constructed by
lend-lease techn1cians months in
advance, have been equipped with
AFRAID shelters and the men are
to be taught quickly their most
efficient use.
Ulster Transformed.
This section of Northern Ireland,
with its Old World ways and un-
changing customs, has been trans
formed into a corner of the U. S. A.
by the advent of the new A. E. F.
The groundwork for the trans
formation, however, was laid by a
corps of $500 American technicians
who have been laboring here for
months to build the cantonments
into which the troops moved on their
debarkation Monday.
The technicians did more than
build the cantonments, for they
paved the way for the doushboys

until very recently been expected, to
do things they are quite unable to
do. such as fight a land war without
air superiority or control narrow
waters which are dominated by hos
tile air power.
Conversely, 1t is not unknown for
air forces to be expected to perform
tasks for which they are quite un-
fitted, or at least can only perform
by quite disproportionate expendi-
ture of effort, man power and mate
rial, and then not so effectively as
the land or sea forces whose proper
tasks they are.
Admiral Yarnell Refuted.
If for major strategic reasons we
cannot concentrate adequate air
power in any place or on any task
then the operations of our naval and
land forces must be adjusted ac-
cordingly. 1t may. for political rea-
sons, be considered necessary to fight
on land or. at sea without adequate
air support. We had to in Norway,
and we had to in Greece and Crete,
because there were not the air forces
available, nor were there adequate
airdromes If they had been.
Admiral Yarnell, who in a recent
article in Golfers Magazine makes
the extraordinary assumption that
the loss of Crete was due to some
arbitrary and one-sided decision on
the part of the Royal Air Force to
withdraw air support, is not alone
In his failure to understand the pro-
found influence of geographic con-
ditions on the exercise of air power.
He would not suggest, for in
stance, that the United States Fleet
should be told to operate in jap
anese waters without q base in the
Far East or q reasonably secure
line of supply for its tankers and
ammunition ships.
Yet an air force without bases and
without q secure system Of supply
for fuel, bombs and spare parts is
just as helpless as that fleet
would be-
A fleet at sea, operating beyond
the range of shore-based air sup
port, must take it's own air support
with it in the form of ship-borne
aircraft and these may be and in
the British system are part Of the
fleet.
Ship-borne fighters, however, are
not always available and the loss
of the Prince of Wales and the Re-
pulse has proved what the air staff
have constantly urged in the past,
that when neither ship-borne nor
shore based fighter cover can be af-
forded heavy ships cannot venture
safely within the effective range of
shore-based air striking forces.
Specialization Is "Nonsense."
There is great deal of egregious
nonsense talked about the need for
specialized training for air opera
tions in support of armies and
navies. The uninitiated would
almost be led to believe that it is
necessary to breed a special type Of

statesman who has to Justify his
actions and maintain his position in
legally constituted representative
assembly, representative Of the
people, whose knowledge of military
matters Is nonexistent and whose
judgment is frequently wrong.
It Is therefore all the more i'm
portant that advice on the applica-
ton Of air power should be the re-
sponsibility Of a single head Of q
centralized service, working as the
chief Of an expert staff who have
made a life study Of air power and
its problems and that the decisions
of the political authority, the Prime
Minister and the war cabinet, should
be capable of being translated into
action with that promptitude and
administrative efficiency which
would be impossible under divided
control.
Concentration Is Decisive.
The principle of concentration on
the decisive point Is indeed the es-
sence Of air power. No serious ex-
ponent Of air power or Of the sys-
tenn Of a third service claims that
war can be won solely by air forces.
No one weapon, no single service,
no specialized military method, can
win any war. But the misuse or fail
ure to take advantage of any one
military method may well lose war
and can very easily prolong 1t dis
astrously.
The art Of war is to know how
to weld all tactics into one whole,
when to put the emphasis on one
or another, how much of the Ma
tion's resources to allot to each
and, as far as air power Is con-
cerned, to take full advantage of
its flexibility to concentrate 1t in
adequate strength at the place and
on the task which Is Of decisive
importance at the time.
We cannot be stronger than the
enemy everywhere all the time. If
we could be, it would cease to be
relevant because the war would be
won. So we must use our air re-
sources f1exibly as our major ma
tional strategy demands at the
time, as the Germans do. We can
only do that If we have a single
autonomous air service as the Ger
mans have, based by Goering's own
admission on our model.

in the fact that they have ruth
lessly discarded outworn naval and
military traditions, have allotted
to air power its proper share in
their plans and have remolded
their naval and military technique
to suit the conditions Of the air
age.
In this latter respect we have
much to learn from them. Armies
and fleets are still expected, or have

obvious that after the first few

fall elections explain both the mar
rowness and hesitancy with which
Congress is acting and the lack of
vigor in the support the President
is giving his Price Administration.
Mr.. Roosevelt has given ample evi-
dence recently of being election
conscious. Quite naturally he wants
to retain a large Democratic majority
in the next Congress, but 1t is dis
tressing that this desire should have
led him to nullify by inaction his
own seven-point anti-inhation pro-
gram-particularly that feature of
it dealing with the stabilizing of
wages. If there is any other ex-
planation of the discrepancy be-
tween the Presidents words and his
deeds on this subject, 1t has not
been advanced.
Price Ceilings Cracking.
As result, the wage scale is rising
and Mr.. Hendersons price ceilings
are cracking. Apparently, no firm
action against price rises can be ex-
pected from either the White House
| or Congress until after the elections.
BY that time prices will have
wriggled up through all the Hender-
son ceilings with the result that the
levels will be considerably higher
than they are now and, of course, so
will be the new ceilings. This does
not involve runaway imitation, but it
is imitation and it will add many
billions to the cost Of the war and to
the burdens of the people. There
isn't much Mr.. Henderson can do
about 1t and he knows 1t.
Without White House and Con-
gressional support he Is pretty help
less. He can make some gestures,
but they will not mean much. Rec
ognizing the situation, his friends
say Mr.. Henderson will not resign
(no one ever thought he would
but will employ the months be-
tween now and next January In
cleaning up his own administrative
personnel. That is good idea. 1t
needs cleaning up the worst way
and wedding out. There are a lot
Of incompetents In his organization,
but even If it were a hundred per
cent efficient, under existing cir
cumstances it could not function
effectively. To do his Job Mr.. Hen
derson must have support-particu-
larly he must have wage control.
Unless he has that, no matter how
much money Congress gives him, he
cannot do the job.
AS to rubber, the trouble is not
so much politics as 1t Is pro-
crastination. There is no single man
with complete power to deal with
the shortage. Mr.. Nelson is sup
