NEW DELHI, Mar. lit. Gen.
Joseph w. Stilwell, bubbling with
enthusiasm, declared today "the
entire Hukawng Valley will soon be
ours" as columns of tanks manned
by Chinese and American soldiers
cut wide swath through Japanese
ranks in that Northern Burma sec

statement relayed here. II believe
we have killed 1000 Japanese in
this operation alone, which should
be good news in any language ex-

Gen. Stilwell's press bulletin today
gave the first mention permissible
that tanks had ambled down close
on the heels of bulldozers, and
plowed into the bands of fieetine
Japanese already badly upset by
the sudden appearances of Ameri-
can soldiers far in their rear. The

Dublin Observers See
Anxious Doys for Fire

DUBLIN, March II Py.-It is
felt in this neutral capital tonight
that the days ahead will be anxious
ones for Fire.
Such a feeling prevailed despite
the widespread relief at the assur-
ance by the United States Govern
ment that it did not contemplate
proceeding to military or other
measure" because of the Irish re-
fusal to comply with the American
request for the expulsion of Axis
agents.
The publication of the texts of
Evening star., 1944-03-12

the Irish and American notes had a
calming effect on the public, which
In the last two weeks had buzzed
with alarming rumors.
70 But on all sides were heard ex-
pressions of concern over the age
old good relations between Ireland
and America. The hope was ex-
pressed generally that way might
be found out of the impasse with
out imperiling the ties that bind
the two countries.
Misinformation CHARGED.
The Irish press, which supports
the government. presented as an
example Of the misinformation re-
garding the Fire situation a ref
erence by one diplomatic corre-
spondent to German and japanese
diplomatic pouches which he as
sertedt could leave Dublin under
privilege.
The newspaper said that this was
untrue and added that there are
no such bags and have not been
since the war started.
Irish censorship forbids criticism
OF the governments neutrality pol
icy, but it cannot compel such
commendation as came from the
Irish Independent, which said Mr..
de Valera's reply represented the
general attitude of the people and
the will Of Parliament.
Attacks Seen as Unfair,
The Dublin correspondent of the
British Press Association said the
Irish feel that Fires clearly de-
fined policy Of neutrality has been
unfairly attacked. We in this coun-
try are at loss to understand why
similar attitude has not been
adopted on the part of the United
States toward such neutrals as
Sweden and Turkey"
The people of Northern Ireland,
however were said by the Irish Dailv
Telegraph in Belfast, to back up the
American request. The paper said
edltorially that the presence in
Dublin OF center where Allied in
formation of vital nature can be
collected and transmitted to the
enemy is a grave source of danger"
The Irish stand was hailed in
Berlin as a "resolute act of de-
tense" DNB called the American
request new chapter in Anglo
american pressure politics against
all neutrals and nonbelligerents

meter Of Europe"

British troops had advanced on the
coastal plain south of Maungdaw
and into the foothills leading toward
Akyab.
Added to Gen. Stilwell's state
ment was a press note summary of
the results of operations in the
Hukawng Valley during the last
few days.
"Of 1000 japanese estimated to
have been killed, 800 were credited
to the American Infantry force
headed by Gen. Frank Merrill while
a tank column under Col. Rothwell
H. Brown wiped out about 500 and
the remaining 700 enemy dead were
accounted for by the Chinese 22nd

but the United States, to whom
those vessels belonged, and the

I'm view of the foregoing circum-
stances, it is regretted that the State
Department cannot comply with
your request that it recommend te
the Maritime Commission the ap-
proval of the sale now in question.
The Maritime Commission, acting
through the War Shipping Admin
istration, rejected the request fol-
the purchase.
MI. Brennan last night pointed
out that the American note hac
stated that the Irish government
had not protested to the German
government over the sinking of the
Irish Pine and the Irish Oak.
He said he called this to the at
tention of Undersecretary of State
Stettinius last January "a and tolc
him the accusation was most un-
reasonable because such a protest
could not be made without positive
evidence that the loss of these two
vessels was due to German action
that the Irish Pine disappeared from
the high seas and we had nc
knowledge as TO what had happened
to her; that the Irish Oak was tor
pedoed but the members of the crew
had not been able to identify the
nationality of the submarine which
fired the torpedo"
Mr.. Brennan also said that he had
cited the case of another ship. the
kerlogue. which had been machine
gunned from the air, and he de-
clared that protest in that case
to Germany would have beer
ridiculous because the plane in
volved proved to be British. The
British admitted the facts Of the

| Britain Is Expected
Ito Place Restrictions
On Travel 10 Fire
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
LONDON, Mar. 11.-British pres
sure was applied on Dublin to ac-
cept the United States request for
the closing of Axis listening posts in
Ireland, and in answer Fires Prime
Minister, Eamon de Valera, merely
gave the British government a copy
of the rejection he sent Washing
ton, it was disclosed today. i.
Mr.. de Valera's refusal of the re-
quest, which was aimed at pre-
venting the leakage of important
military information, may bring the
imposition of stringent restrictions
or travel between Fire and the
United Kingdom. Responsible quar-
ters said there was little chance that
force-such as economic sanctions
would be brought to bear against
the Irish government.
In a note dated February %, Sir
John Maffey, United Kingdom rep
resentative to Fire, informed Mr..
de Valera that the British fully
support the request for the removal
from Fire of German and Japanese
diplomatic and consular representa-
tives" and said the British desire
ito emphasize the Importance which
they attach to this request"
The prospect that border restric-
tions would be frightened found sup
port in Home Secretary Morrison's
statement of last July that I'VE are
watching the border position, and
when further improvements in con-
troll are wanted we will make them
The belief was general also that
the United States would not have
made its request without considering
what it would do in the event of a
refusal. The demand conceded with
other evidences of a stiffening of
United Nations policy toward neu-
trail nations suspected of playing
ball-willingly or unwillingly-with
the Axis.
These evidences include the Allied
stand on the new Argentine regime
the halting of lease-lend shipments
to Turkey and the pressure on Spain
to hew closer to neutrality.

situation is, because news of 1t has
just been given to us, but there
should be no delay in taking the
necessary steps to protect the lives

When Gov. Bricker was asked II
he believed economic sanctions
should be enforced against Ireland,
he said "the enforcement of eco
nomic sanctions against Ireland
must depend upon how serious the
situation is. We have not yet been
given the complete information, as
near as can determine, from read
ing this mornings newspapers. ."
