visit to Northern Ireland last week Operation Monarch security operation during the royal visit bottled up the guerrillas of the IRAs Provisional wing in the Roman Catholic areas that are their strongholds and forced them to limit their at tacks to those areas However the British cannot maintain that kind of roundtheclock pressure for long Sympathy for the Provisionals among the Catholics has waned in the last year but they still maintain hard core of deeprooted sup port British intelligence sources admit this is all the guerrillas need to continue their hit andrun war FIGHT NOWIN WAR We know that militarily we cant win this war said one Provisional officer But the Brits know they cant win either so this thing will go on until the Brits finally get exhausted and agree to get out Every Brit soldier that we shoot takes the Brits that much closer to the point of exhaus tion Every time we force the army to kick down doors and arrest women and kids they stir up the people and we advance lle conceded that British efforts to improve conditions for the Catholic minority after 50 years of discrimination by the Protestant majority has eroded support for the Provisionals Its very subtle and its quite effective he said but we can live with it The IRAs inability to wreck the Queens visit was one of string of propaganda rever it has suffered in the last year At the same time security forces have been arresting more guerrillas and forcing down the level of violence KILLINGS DOWN Seventynine persons were killed in the first half of this year less than half the 175 killed in the same period last year The police say 825 persons have been roun ded up since Jan 20 per cent more than were arrested during the first seven months of 1976 They say most of those brought in were Provisionals and some were top IRA men After eight years of fighting many of the experienced guerrillas have been killed cap lured or forced on the run Some units are reported in trouble because of internal squab bles and lack of experienced leaders But the Provisionals apparently are still well supplied with explosives and weapons Sources close to the IRA report steady flow of weapons have been
