Pleasant Iowa thursday evening july 16, 1970 Price to cents these Days by John Chamberlain the class War comes to North Ireland in Northern Ireland the War As it appears in the headlines is religious. That fantastic Elmer Gantry of North Irish protestantism the reverend Ian Paisley who sits in the British House of commons As Well As in the Ulster parliament would have you believe that a Popery Quot is the Issue. So he disrupts an Quot ecumenical Quot guest Maas celebrated by catholics in Britain a anglican Canterbury Cathedral raising Hob in a country not ills own for the of publicity in Ulster. Catholics in Belfast respond to Paisley a provocations by clobbering protestants. But someone a meaning the Northern Irish common Man both Catholic and presbyterian a is being had. Under the surface a hard left which has no particular interest in religion of any sort edges things along. The common Man a Pawn of revolutionists gets killed. The object of the War is not to win civil rights in North Ireland that phase is already closed. Every citizen whether Catholic or protestant poor or Rich now has the vote. The administration of the City of Londonderry a or Derry As you must Call it to please its citizens a is in Catholic hands. In Belfast a Stormont Castle the ruling unionist party a centrist body is doing its Best to provide housing and to create jobs its welfare payments reinforced from London provide a higher Standard of living for the poor than May be obtained in Eire. But the War in Northern Ireland goes on because revolutionists want to turn it into a class War.

There was no generation Gap in the vote the under-35 respondents divided by percentages that were almost identical with the older vote. The women however were a bit More pacifist than the men. At least one male in ten in the South would like to see gun running continue. Too if the Rev. Or. Paisley wants to keep the religious War going he is not joined by churches other than his own. The troubles in Northern Ireland have brought the four major denominations in both North and South Ireland together in a tougher ecumenical stance than they have shown in a generation. William Cardinal Conway the Catholic primate of Ireland he is also archbishop of Armagh which is St. Patrick sold stamping ground joins with the reverend John Carson Moderator of the presbyterian Church in asking for a cessation of the religious War. They Are supported by the anglican archbishop of Dublin George Sims and by the reverend George Good president of the methodist Church. So Ulster could have peace if the extremists would Only Lay off. But peace is not the extremists bag anywhere East or West of Vietnam.
