Montgomery County sentinel., 1936-09-10


ne dinner, Lord
Lothian talked
Arthur brisbane about war, the
Importance of doing something to
satisfy Germany, now that Germany
is strong enough to fight back.
Lord Lothian has discovered that
It is one thing to deal with dissatis-
fed populations when they are un-
armed, and very different thing
to deal with the same dissatisfied
populations when they are fully
armed.
The British made that discovery
for themselves long ago, before
Lord Lothian was born, in the
process of building up their great
empire. If the Beers, Hindus, Zu-
lus and some others had been as
thoroughly armed as they were
thoroughly dissatisfied, the British
empire would be smaller.
Americans who want to know
what Europeans, including the Eng
lsh, are thinking and planning, will
be interested in the following state
ment by Lord Lothian concerning
Germany. It has been suggested
that England and France should
pacify Germany by giving back
some of the colonial properties TAX
en- from Germany at the end of the
war. Lord Lothian is one of the
numerous Englishmen who do not
believe in "giving things back"
Said he:
Personally, do not believe that
the problem can be solved along the
lines of the restoration to Germany
Of the old German colonies. That
would not solve Germany's difficult
ties, and things have changed since
1914. The question must be con-
Sidered on much wider lines. All
the colonial nations must be willing
to make their contribution to a
transfer of territory. The new world
as well as the old must be willing
once more to reopen its doors to
trade and migration"
The statement of the noble lord
that "the new world as well as the
old Must be willing" etc., has no
pleasant sound in American ears.
The word must" especially, is
one that wise Englishman could
hardly apply to the United States
after 1776. Lord Lothian probably
meant that the United States
ought" not that it MUST" once
more reopen its doors to trade and
migration.
The United States, it is to be
hoped, will decide for itself about
rieopening its doors to trade and
immigration. This country needs
more of the immigration that made
II what it is-it is NOT :. redskin
country, its people came from Eu-
rope, and it needs many millions
more OF the same kind. 1t also
needs, and the majority of its peo-
pie intend to keep, American jobs,
american wages and American
money for the people who live and
work in the United States.
