A sharp attack against admission of Jewish refugees to Ireland has been published in The Sentry, official organ of the Irish Republican Army. Declaring the refugee “invasion” was “alarmingly great,” the periodical asserted that the problem should have been tackled long ago but for the fact that “the Irish are the last to wish to add anything to the sufferings of that hunted race.”
