iNE of my correspondents thinks I am a fessimlst because I wrote v f at the year ei|d that, “ I t refluires a^ supet-optlixiist !to believe

! Tncldentally we are doing our best tb save every ipo^ible | German life, though Germans are over-running Eurbie like unhindered rats Leaving that aside we shall have a mighty |natlon of Germans to peal with] after the war is over. Some of our sentiment lUsls say we jnust treat these Germans most generously, quite contrary'to our treatment of them at Versailles. I repeat wipat j _have| already stated In these es are a myth prppa!- own ends. The P^cb


colu&ns, that the alleged Injustlc'es pi Vers; gatefl by -Hitler and Goebbels to, serve .the: of Versailles was a model compar.ed 'hfith tl had [prepared and would have[Tnfliqt^eb( dniu, Years’ War.

' 'TOat we are really fighting Is a disease, a disease which if n])t incurable will require more eradicating than th e : leaders <if dembcracy, unless fhey display a far more subtle Intelligence, energy, aiemess a1hd ’cutekiess than they displayed between j 1920 and 1940, can [be depended oii to .complete.

seems: to 'any rational being beyond sense I or decency. ' The Germans are permeated by that idea and one reason for it is that they imagine that [the world] is and must be dominated by someone, arid as tha|t nation is not Germany it must be some other nation, so they profess to believe their turn has come.j But who is that other dominant nation ? ' The German answer probably would be Britain or America. Is there a single Individual whether in Britain or Amerjca , either ' believbs his country domlpates the world or even wishes to ? Two things occur to me on this domin­ ation [idiocy. If Hitler and the Germans believe they can subject the rest of toe world to ia serfdom under Berlin, they are indulging in an impossible dream, orld is not prepared to do exactly told from Berlin and never will

peoples to do their bidding, wjagt dpps it'laniount to ? Is it worth toe boiies of , a single grenadier ? So little is there in: it that if 'the question were asked who. dominates the world to-day half a dokeii people would very likely give six diffetent answers.

I For;contra the German people can [take their place! a!s world leaders when they have demonstrated their


; superiority in intellect, in wisdom, in tfie desire to propagate the princi- pl'es; of liberty- and fair dealing bejtween man and njan and nation and nation rather [than perpetuate the evils of international anarchy.


If! let us say America and Britain are leading nations to-dayl to what is it due ?| Not to a desire to dominate but because their peoples are in the van of practical intellectual human progress arid are looked up to as such by the rest [of the world. For what do all nations look in Germany? Mainly lies and the goose-step, i As Mr. Oswald Villard, the American who recently re­ turned from Germany and who has spent most of the last twenty years there, says : “ Germany gfies on its way I uncertain, confused, tortured, thereby giving the lie to toe assertions of its false, leaders that' this is a nation bom] to rule and intended to dominate the Continent of Europe.”
