a New York woman who has been
visiting Germany out of sheer curl
osity is giving a New York paper her
! impressions" Of that country. She
was advised by the American embassy
at The Hague not to go; she was not
wanted. she was told, and might get
into trouble, but she persisted.
She was accompanied TO Berlin by
Hungarian friend, who could pre-
sumably speak English. Also it is
likely that the German professors
family where she was a guest were
familiar with the American wOnan's
language. for, as she herself cOnfesses,
she can not speak a word of German.
and she might have found herself at
great inconvenience without some
means Of communication.
But. though she can not talk Ger
man or understand il, she had i'm
pressions." and one of the strongest
ones was that the Germans do not
like the people of the United States
and are very bitter against US. Prob
ably they do not like US; they have no
special reason for regarding us with
affection and, from their point of view,
have a number of causes for detesta-
ton. But whether her assertion is
correct or not can not be proved by
any American who can only speak
English spending a few days in Ber-
lin. Even the fluent English speech
