IT'D 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
fish, are thinking and planning, will
be interested in the following state
ment by Lord Lothian concerning
Germany. 1t has been suggested
that England and France should
pacify Germany by giving back
some of the colonial properties talk
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, I 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 a 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
reopening it's doors to trade and
immigration. This country needs
more of the immigration that made
it 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 it's peo-
pie intend to keep, American jobs,
American wages and American
money for the people who live and
work in the United States.
There is nothing like being strong
and prepared for trouble. You no
tice how differently Germany APP
pears in the eyes of France and
other nations surrounding her to-
day, as compared with the years
after the war. Hear Lord Lothian
OF that subject:
Germany now has both equality
and strength. Preparations have
gone. Part V of the Treaty of YER
sailles has gone. The demilitariza-
ton of the Rhineland has gone, and
the sooner that recovery of her
natural right to self-defense is ac-
cepted without further discussion
the better. Germany is rearmed. It
only remains for the British govern
ment to abandon once and for all the
fatal, system whereby she first has
a. conference with her friends and
then presents the results as a kind
of ultimatum to Germany-the sys-
tenn represented by the recent
observation-disclosures to substitute for
it free and equal and frank discus
sion around table. The old sys-
tenn is not equality, either for Ger
many or for ourselves"
What telephone girl in America
has the softest, most beautiful, most
easily understood voice? That ques-
ton was asked in England and a
Miss Cain won the competition ar
ranged by the British postoffice.
which owns British telephones and
telegraph. The finest voice having
been selected, a robot was manufac-
tured to initiate that voice by phono-
graphic process. Now, when you
want to know the time in London,
you dial "Tin" and the soft voice
of Miss Cain, perfectly reproduced,
tells you: cat the third stroke it
will be four twenty-seven and if
teen seconds"
