London, May 10, 3 George Bernard Shaw, discussing the executions of the Sinn Feiners in an open letter today says: “My view is that men wha were shot in cold blood after their capture or surrender were prisoners of war and it was there- fore entirely incorrect to slaughter them. Ireland’s relation to Dublin Castle is in this respect precisely the same as the Balkan States toward Turkey or Belgium toward the Kaiser or of the United States’ to Great Britain. Until Dublin Castle i perceded by a national parliament and Ireland is voluntarily incor- porated with the British Empire like Canada, Australia, or South Africa, an Irishman resorting to arms to achieve the independence of his country is doing only what English- men will do if invaded and con- quered by the Germans. Such an Irishman crder morally in accepting assistance from the Germans as England is in accepting the assistance of Russia in a struggle with Germany. The fact that he knows that his enemies will not respect his rights if they catch kim and that he must fight witht a rope around is neck adds in some measure to his glory in the eyes of Lis compatriots and in the eve: disinterested admirers of patriotism through the world. The slaughter of a man in this position makes him a martyr and a hero. The shot Irish- men will now take their places be- side Emmett and the Manchester martyrs in Ireland and beside the heroes of Paland, Serbia and Bel- gium in Europe. Nothing in Heaven or on earth can prevent it. “I am not a Sinn Feiner.
