Caused by .long - smouldering arguments on religious and social questions, the rebellion was or- ganized and led by the Sinn Fein party tGaelle for "ourselves aIilne"l. LIVED SHORT A short-lived Irish Republic was proclaimed. but ended when the rebellion was put down by British ll-naps after vicious fighting. A number 31 revolutionary leaders acre exe uted. After the Fieizist World War. an art was pass by the British Parliament providing for a North- crn Irish Parliament at Belfast and i Southern Irish one at Dub- llu, but the plan of partlon was opposed by the Southern Irish. Meanwhile, the Sinn Fein began pl campaign against the Irish con- tlnbulary. and Britain-in retalia- llllllm-IeI1IlIkSD8CIII force. known as the "b ac and tans." recruited trnm ex-soldiers, to Ireland. ssoaa VIOLENCE Violence flared up until 1921. when a moderate group of Sinn Feiaora came hitn power and ac- cepted dtminion status for South- on Ireland. then known as the Irish Free State. Northern Ireland, composed of six. counties with a predomin- enily Protestant population - as compared to the mainly Roman Catholic population in Southern Ireland-remained a part of ythe United Kingdom. Beside the religious differences between the two areas. Northern Ireland has a large industrial ele- ment in her economy hlle the Irish Republic is mainl agricul- tural. The Irish Free State remained a dominion until 1932. when Eamon de Valera won the general elec- tion and proceeded to convert it into the semi-republican. state of Eire. cutting the bond with the Commonwealth almost com- pletely. FINAL MOVE The final move toward complete Independence came in 1946 when a coalition government was formed. Three years later the Irish Republic was officially pro- claimed. Moves have continued for the incorporation of Northern Ireland into the Irish Republic. but all at- tempts have met with refusals by Northern Irish to join the state to the south.

Nasser Has Uphill Work To Try To Militcirize The Egyptians By DAVE McINTOSIl Canadian Press Staff Writer CAIRO lCPl e. The KLM alr- liner out of Rome dropped down to 300 feet just before it crossed the Egyptian coast so that it could be easily identified from the ground on the run into Cairo air- port. Below were the fresh green rec- tangles of corn in the Nile delta and the brown. straetless mud vil- lages. Suddenly, as the delta was left behind. the undulating desert hogan. metchlng away to the and of vision. Though it is winter here. the vlintl blew hot across the airport. In the terminal. the Egyptian au- thorities were courteous and ef- ficient. The two men hecklng passports were both army of- floors. I)l'STY AND HOT The downtown bus was dusty. outside and in. Flies swarmed dmwsily in the heat. Most of the plane passengers were happy and talkative. They were Esvstisnl and they were home. Around the airport brick fence went the bus at a good clip. On the military side of the field were lilo wrecks of aircraft destroyed on the ground by British planes. The Egyptians now claim these were dummies which fooled the RAF completely. Cairo seemed to be trying to sire the appearance of a city armed to the hilt and prepared to fight to the last man. But the army posts at main intersections were meagre. In one of the main squares near the Nile was a single rusty Second World War antl-alr- craft gun. Premier Nasser seems to be try- Ilke mood. Tanks go clanking through the streets at odd hours. 01' trucks filled with soldiers hank their way along the crowded thoroughfares. But the Egyptians as a whole appear entirely unmilitary. In fact. they look as if they couldn't care less, as if they have no heart for war. if that is what Nasser has in mind. BACKWARD ECONOMY Though Cairo itself is a fairly modern city with tall buildings. well paved boulevards and some good shops. the Egyptians gener- ally have not progressed beyond ill! In of the wheel. In the coun- tryside they live no better than- and often with-their animals. Thus it is not surprising that the Egyptian army was never able to put to use large stocks of Rus- sian military equipment in the six- day war with Israel. Egyptian sol- diers were baffled by the complex- ity of the machinery. The propaganda mill works tirelessly and it is possible that the Egyptian authorities delude themselves into believing their own ya paganda. They issue the most fantastic stories to explain away the army's route is the Bt- nal peninsula. At the moment. it is almost im- possible to predict developments in Egypt. some Westerners say they think Nasser intends to re- sume border raids against Israel to keep the Egyptians in, a war- Ilka disposition and their eyes averted from continuing economic difficulties. If this occurs. the UN will be ut to another severe test because t is doubtful that the planned UN force of a few thousands could hope to patrol the long desert bor- log to keep Egyptians in a war- der between Egypt and Israel.
