Country editor in Europe reports Ireland trip and travel notes
Mason Smith describes a West to East Atlantic crossing from New York to Dublin via Gander and Shannon. He paints Ireland’s green landscape, modern airports, and mixed old and new towns, notes Irish hospitality, and contrasts postwar economic strains with U S farming. He observes Irish shorthorn cattle, beets, potatoes, and self sufficiency, plus wartime politicking and labor views.
