The authorities were today investigating distribution of German propagandas, chiefly anti-Semitic among member of the Kalawad Irish Republican Army. Nazi agents were believed someone to leave of former I.R.A. men and to be flooding them with anti-Semitic and anti-Semitic and anti-British Government in an effort to encourage their illegal activities.

Country Donegal police began rounding up former I.R.A. numbers for questioning after a onetime officer in the organization reported having accessed propaganda, mainly anti-Semitic, from Berlin. This officer, a resident of East Bonair said he had received a large envelope containing a letter signed by Reich President Minister Joseph Goebbels and a number of Nazi pamphlets. The leaflets, he said, contained printed charts and statistics purporting to prove time-worn arguments amongst the Jews. A small book dealing with Germany’s position in relation to the Christian Church and world Jewry was also included in the envelope.
