HOLIDAY EASES
 FIRES TENSION
Recent Crisis Dies Down; Further Allied Action
 Believed Unlikely

Dublin, March 17-(UP)-Cele- bration of St. Patrlck's day eased Fires tension today over the inter- national situation and the possibil- ity of the British and United States governments applying eco- homie sanctions.
 The recent crisis over Fires re. fusal to eject Axis representatives seemed to have died down here and informed persons believe that fur ther action by the Allies was un- likely. The general opinion seemed to be that If England does any, thing to us 1t will hurt her more than us."
 There was no doubt but that 8 blockade would hit Fire hard, but informed sources point out that every week Fire sends England 5000 head of cattle, besides much butter, eggs and other commodities.
 Although Fire is badly in need of coal, gasoline and wheat. which it now gets from the United States and Britain, sources here say that if the Irish used their foodstock reserves for themselves they could get along, even If food shipments stopped and the transportation sys. tenn broke down, as it inevitably would.
 St. Patrick's day found Fire united behind Premier Ramon de Valera in his stand against the Anglo-American demands.
 Events of the past fortnight" the Irish Independent said in an editorial. found the Irish people not only calm and dignifed but united as never before neutral ity as a cardinal principle of Irish national policy during the period of this war has been accepted by all parties"
 De Valera, instead of giving his usual St. Patrick's day message to America through the United Press, said:
 "In view of the situation which has developed, I consider 1t inad- visable to make any statement at the moment. Naturally, I wish my countrymen in America every hap piness and many more years of joy"
