DULL LOGIC FROM AN IRISH WIT

Whenever q nootter involving the Irish comes up,
= eeeoe +bot somebody automatically runs to George
Bernard Shaw for his opinion. This hos happened SO
often thot Mr. Shaw, who can be conVncIn9Y pro-
fessiono Irishmon when he tit, has come 10 be
recorded as on authoritative source OF IRISH oP'non'
He usuolIv rewards his questoners with some
pretty sharp answers too. But the logic OF MS oPn
ion on the Irish neutrality dispute IS dull
Mr.. Shaw says that to impose economic sanctions
upon Fire would be on insult to oil lrlshmen IN me
Allied military forces 1t is difficult to follow ms req
soninq The fighting Irish in the British army nave
olreodv made choice thot repudiotes their coun-
trvs poIicy Neither this country nor Britain has OBJ
jected to Fires stated policy Of neutrality Neither
is trvno to force Fire into Whatever dPlomotc
pressure may be brought to bear will be used only
to implement q reasonable request that Fires neu-
troIity be as strict in foct as it is in statement.
Mr. Show oIso feels that sanctions are quite IN
excusoble He does not soy Why and certainly reo-
son for that statement would be hard TO find. Both
the United Stotes and Briton have endured the pres
ence of Ioroe Nozi diplomatic corps in Dublin DUR
ina critical months Of preparation tor the greatest
nIitory undertaking in history. They have endured
it with qreot patience, while the diplomatic corps and
it's ooents had access to England and the American
installations in Ulster.
All the tolk about the long lrsh-Americon friend
ship has been idle This is not quarrel with the Irish
people, but with the stubborn, unreasonable attitude
Of Mr. De VoIero's government This is q cose OF vital
military urgency.
Mr. De Valera has been able to defy two greet
world powers because his confidence in their decency
assures him that they will not invade and overrun his
country.
II must be clear to Mr. De Valera and the Irish
thot they have nothing to gain from German VIC
tory or even negotiated peoce.
Hatred Of England does not prove that Fire has
anything to lose from English victory. # Mr.. De
Valera and his government cannot understand this
then some means beyond polite and potent requests
are definitely in order.

FINNS' DREAM: ALLIES
VS.. RUSSIA

The fiendiSh ingenuity of this
plan from the Finnish point of
view is easy to see. What the
FlnnS were after IN sponsoring
this idea was to hamstring Rus
STA and eventually bring the
armies of the western powers
up against the armies of the So
Wet. Continuously the Firms
have preached the doctrine that
the United States and Great
Britain must eventually break
with the Soviet and they have
seized upon everything they
could TO promote that discord,
even to counting known anti
Russian and isolationist leaders
in Washington.
American patience with the
Finnish government in Helsinki
is a matter Of long record and
the efforts Of the American gov
eminent to get Finland out Of
the war have been numerous,
being based on natural sympa-
thieS and sincere respect for the
Finnish people. Final armistice
terms offered Finland by the
Soviet earlier this year were
admittedly severe as to repara-
tons expected, but when the
Firms made no counter proposal
and seemed totally disinterested
in getting themselves out of the
war, the suspicion grew in this
country that the present Finnish
government was definitely pro-
Nazi and under German domi-
nation. That's what led to the
present rupture in Washington
though the actual proof OF II

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

~ the Firms may have believed
this themselves, ii was consid-
cred a rather vicious effort TO
United Nations and II was re-
sented by many Of the Washing
tonlans who heard it.
Finnish criticism of the Unit
cd States for its aid TO Soviet
Russia became more open after
the drive against Southern Fin
land began few days ago. The
criticism was leveled against
this country for furnishing the
Soviet with arms which could
be used against the Firms, with
whom the United States was not
at war. That line didn't sit well,
either.
One of the stock propositions
which Finnish propaganda tried
TO promote was an idea that
Germany should say to the wes-
tern powers something like this:
las you invade Europe, the
German armies will give ground
as YOU advance. The German
armies will continue 10 retreat
across France, the low coun-
tries, across Germany itself, I'M
I'll the American and British
armies have occupied all of the
Baltic states, Poland and the

armies shall have reached the

man armies will lay down their

U.S.Adomont
on Overseas
Market Field
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10

WASHINGTON, Nov. l6-(P)
The United States wants the
world TO know that it is ready TO
use aggressive measures TO pre-
serve overseas markets for
its farmers.
This notice was given in twin
announcements of the War Food
Administration Cd that 1t Will
cut prices on American cotton
and wheat in world markets, and
CD that it will encourage farm
ers TO continue large production
Of these and other products.
The price cutting will be
made in the form of subsidies to
exporters designed to enable
them to meet prices OF other
countries which have not raised
their prices to levels prevailing
in this country.
The Roosevelt administration
has in times past condemned the
use Of export subsidies and
other aggressive measures in
world markets. 1t has urged, on
the other hand, the establish
ment of world agreements divld-
ing markets and stabilizing mar
kets. Such agreements were
recommended by the United Ma
tons Food Conference held at
Hot Springs, Va, last year.
Announcement of export sub
sidy programs at this time is IN
terpreted in official as well as
trade quarters as a psychological
weapon in behalf of interna-
tional trade cooperation.
The United States says in eff
feet that it is determined TO gain
and hold its share of world farm
markets even if it must resort to
competitive measures. Agricul-
tural trade authorities state
quite frankly that they hope
this American action will speed
international trade cooperation.
Because of big crops this year
and because of a large pre-War
reserve of cotton, the United
States now has exportable sup
plies of cotton and wheat. This
years wheat crop was the larg-
est of record.

Robot Rubber
Masks Seen as
Aid to Sick

WASHINGTON. Nov. 16-lP)
Robot rubber masks, that will
do the work Of breathing for
sick person, will become avail
able after the war as a result
Of the new pressure masks now
going into use for American
fighter pilots Of extremely high
attitudes.
The new mask for the air
forces was announced last Sep
TENDER. Today its expected
medical uses were described to
the National Academy of Sci
ences by Commander j. Murray
Steele, Medical Corps, US.
Navy.
The mask is heavy rubber,
formed TO fit snugly over the
bridge Of the nose, cheeks and
chin. Pure oXygen--or any 9TH
or form Of air-can be forced
into this mask at prCSSurcS high
er than the atmosphere, and it
will not leak.
The prcSsurizcd air will, how
ever, force itself into the lungs

| doesn't have to breathe in at
all, the robot does that for him.
He does have to breathe out,

sent type military mark. But
Commander Steele said ii is
now possible to alter the pres
sure during breathing, TO make
regular cycle Of fIuctuating
pressure inside the mask TO fit
the natural human breathing cy-
Gle.
Thus at one moment the mask
can force air into the lungs, and
at the next so reduce its press
ure that the cXhalation is COM
plCtcly without effort.
Or the doctor can adjust the
mask to any degree Of effort or
lack Of effort al any stage Of
breath taking. For example,
| Commander Steele said, some
kinds Of heart trouble patients
might be helped by a mask
which makes every stage OF
their breathing cffortlcSs.
Persons suffering from gassed
lungs might be better off with a
robot which put the air into
their lungs without any effort
on their part, but required them
10 force it out.
In high altitude flying the
new mask is needed to keep
enough oxygen in the aviator's
blood. Even pure oxygen does
Mt do this when the outside air
