MARCH 17th, 1938 No. 50 AUSTRIA Tliii brutal Nordic beast, which is Germany, treacherous, IviniT, knowing? nothing of decency or honor, has stretched out its da"' again and gobbled up a.hother victim. It Ss hot enough to blame Hitler alone. He stands as the incarnation of Ger­ m a n y today, the same Germany which in 1914 converted Belgium and Northern France into a shambles. If not, why the universal approval of H itler's latest coup by the German people? The leopard has never changed his spots.' It is to be hoped th a t those who have talked so much about î he kindly German people have a t last had the ir eyes o p e n e d , , also those" who have protested the Versailles Treaty as un.iust. . That trea ty was fa r top lenient, as we should have k n o w n , who, when Germany lay broken in 1918, failed-to keep, her brotei, thereby- breaking faith w ith .those .who died. Instead we allowed her to rearm, loaned her money, and now our chickens have come home to roost with a vengeance. Some day we may wake up and learn tha t the price of peace in the woi'ld is a Germany so wrecked and maimed th a t she can never rise again as a first class power. . Events have abundantly proved tha t Eden was entirely right and -Chamberlain one of the biggest blunderers. ever to be premier of Great Britain; We said so a t the time of Eden's resigna'tion, when we pointed out That any negotiations with the dictators could only end in a -fiasco. And it needed no foresight on our part or anybody else's..jto make such a pro­ phecy. Even before the conversations with Italy had started, Mussolini was sending fresh troops to Spain, while Von Ribben-, trop was .still in London with his impossible and insolent demands when the German troops were invading Austria. v It was:6nly to be expected that Spain would be the next ■ country to receive the attention of -the-dictators?,-Mussolini would necessarily have, to make a showing in order to satisfy the Italian people, and the despatch of a sufficient number of German troops to ensure the defeat of the Loyalists in Spain ! is obviously . Mussolini's price for his desertion of Austria ̂ under an '^rrangem ent undoubtedly made between h m and Hitler previous to the rape of Austria. In all probability the arrangement also provides for German 'troops .being sen'f to Libya also. • Mussplinf is determined to make the Mediter- • , ranean an Italian sea, if he. can. And he is not likely, to en- couiitei'. much opposition, while we have such very weak sisters as Chamberlain and Halifax in Office, in spite of the fact th a t the loss of -thejî ^ d i te r ra n e a n to f s ■ would split the--Em infe- absurd. Hitler and Mussolini have travelled too fa r along the road, of international banditry together and know a great deal -too" much " about each o ther^ scheaMrig.. to dare part company, because none realize bdtter t h a ^ h e y th a t-th e day --whiohi-sees-the-end-of-fehei-r- ' ' ' ' ■ jO)f the end for both.
