Transcription: "FATE BOUND UP WITH BRITAIN" FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT DUBLIN, Thursday. The Dail to-day heard Mr. James Dillon, Deputy Leader of the Opposition, urge that Britain and America should be given the use of the Irish ports and air bases. Mr. de Valera, Prime Minister, replied that 90 per cent. of the people believed in neutrality. Mr. Dillon said that they should  ascertain from the British people and the Americans what assistance they required to resist the Nazis, and then co-operate to the limit of the Irish resources. He believed that the policy of neutrality was the policy of the majority of the people, yet he believed it was not the correct course of conduct. "Naval and aerial bases," Mr. Dillon continued, "are required by the United States and Great Britain to prevent the Nazis cutting the life- line between Britain and America. At present, we are playing the part of Pontius Pilate, washing our hands and asking What is truth?" "I say that on the side of the Anglo-American alliance is right and justice." FEAR OF "BLITZ" Mr. Dillon said that the reason they did not offer facilities to Britain was fear of the "blitz." It was a terrible danger, but they should face up to the realities of the situation and choose the lesser evil. If Germany were to win, the future for Ireland would be certain. The Germans would come as conquerors, and would set out to Nazify the people or exterminate them. The Irishmen who might die in that fight would be a monument to the statesmen who refused to face the danger of war while they still had friends to fight beside them. If Great Britain could not be guaranteed supplies from the United States she might be defeated, and if Great Britain fell, Ireland would fall too. In reply, Mr. de Valera said: "If anybody attacks us, then every one of us can die, if necessary, fighting for what we are certain is a just cause. And say that no matter from which side we are attacked, that is the position we are taking up, and it is not a cowardly position. "If we are attacked at all we will be attacked by one of the big nations of the world. We have to face that, we are prepared to face it. We are determined to live our own life. "We have been asked to throw ourselves into the flames. That is what it amounts to. Prudence is not cowardice. "I have never been in slightest bit impressed or affected, or even hurt, by suggestions that Ireland in this war is not playing its part. Ireland is doing its duty to its people." Mr. Cosgrave, Leader of of the Opposition, said that Mr. Dillon's speech surprised him.  Letter   From  ... Lester posted on 11th June 1941 Oakland Cottage Belfast Road Bangor Co. Down. N. Ireland Dear Jack, Your letter dated May 1st came about two weeks ago & I've been wanting to write you ever since, but eye strain dure to tiredness has been a bother.  I've had several things to see to, & business letters to write.  Yes.  Your reply telegram arrived that time.  Also lately the money order, very many thanks. (I did send you a wire). How we would love to be able to follow your suggestion about W. Point, but it's just not possible. You see we are responsible for our house & it could not be left unoccupied  even for that short time, but we are glad to have this for an emergency. One never knows what may turn up the houses are all let, but the city small shops will feel the effect of the evacuation. Still we are all right so far and hope for the best. We are planning carefully & will manage all right. We are saving up for the  ... insurance tax on the property due in July. There was only slight damage done to the town houses in the last raid. A sky light & some slates blown off: we've had no damage to this house altho' at Easter the house rocked several times when bombs fell a short distance away. The whole town was lit up with flames so they could see we were a residential part.

Transcription: several times got down to the sea for an hour. She was a brick during the raids, but felt her heart for  several days after. Altho not able to do much gardening I have plenty of soup vegetables & the old favourites have come up without much attention. Mother's ferns are always a joy & we have several clumps of cerise peonies & violas and of course the laburnums which are a picture at present. We met John l'erritt lately. His people live down here & he said he & his wife had just come to share their house as they were alone. His sister is married. He said Maude McA. had got out of Belgium last summer after waiting some days on the coast. She is now working in B.fast. I wrote to Elsie when we heard on the wireless about the raid there, district) & got a letter from her since. They are all well. They were looking forward to their vacation. We were interested in your news of D.M.  I'm sure she has good taste. She is very young. I read a book lately about Christian Science. Mrs. Eddy was one (but not the only one in these later times) who got a vision of a great Truth. (& she helped many) a part of the gospel message which had for long been forgotten & neglected by the Church. I began this letter a week ago. Excuse the rambling. Muriel is trying to rest. She says tell J. we wish we could go down to the peace of Connemara, as E. asked us to. But we'll be thankful if we can still keep our little home until the war is over & the world set free from fear. I wonder if you will have to make that journey. We always think of you and both send love. Gretta
