The Washington times., 1938-10-31
Position Has
Changed Greatly

Yesterdays position was: Hitler
had arrayed against him certainly
England, France, Russia, Czecho-
slovakia, Rumania and Yugo-
slavia; probably against him was
Poland, while Italy would have
been at best neutral, despite the
axis. In the background was the
United States, strongly Sympa-
thetic to the democracieS, and
world opinion was unanimously
against the German aggression.
The lineup was much more unfa-
vorable to Germany than in 1914.
Fundamental basis for this line
UP was the calculation who Is
going to win?" The answer was
yesterday without a dissenting
voice: England and France. All
thought England and France still
great powers, strong and full Of
fortitude. And all remembered
that Germany lost the last war
essentially because the blockade
slowly strangled her to death.
The basis of calculation remains
the same today, but the answer
since Munich is different. For
England and France have given
way to force, and thereby con.
vinced the small powers they must
make terms with Germany. And
all the powers see that Munich
opened to Germany the way to
resources which will nullify the
effects of blockade.
The Washington times., 1938-10-31
defeat and France has suffered

defeat and France has suffered
even more than we have"
The disaster is that all Europe
now regards England and France
as treaty breakers, and not less
immoral and selfish, but less
brave than the notorious treaty
breaker, their arch-enemy, Hitler.
Against this disastrous, opinion,
however, even candid Englishmen
strive with desperate sophistry.
Mr.. Churchill, who feels the
blow to Britain more than most,
argues that neither France nor
Britain really defaulted on their
obligations, because if BeneS had
refused to bow to the "unbearable
pressure" brought by France and
England, and had refused the
terms thrust upon him, and had
then been attacked by Germany,
it would have been imperative
upon France to intervene, and
upon Great Britain to 60 to the
aid of France"
But that "unbearable pressure
was only "unbearable" because 1t
forced the Czechoslovak govern
ment to believe If 1t did fight 1t
would fight alone. Its terms were
reluctantly revealed at the end Of
the debate in the House when the
telegram sent by Lord Halifax to
the British minister in Prague was
The Washington times., 1938-10-31
Lineup Against
Germany Today

So today the lineup against
Germany is:
France, cowed, shamed and de-
featist.
England, shamed, frightened.
but defiantly proclaiming she has
saved peace with honor" Their
own alliance, despite the brave
words uttered publicly now, has
suffered a blow which could in
the next crisis prove mortal. Pub
licly each declares the other q
fine fellow and a good partner,
but privately in England they
blame France, and in France they
blame England, and neither now
regards the other as reliable.
Few except rarely candid souls
would speak their real opinion In
England when Chamberlain cele
brated his triumph of peace with
honor"
Lord Lloyd put it thus:
"It was Mr.. Disraeli who said
that England's two great assets
in the world were her fleet and
her good name. Today we must
console ourselves that we still
have our fleet"
Harold Nicholson said: "The
Munich capitulation is one Of
the most disastrous episodes
that has ever occurred in our
history"
Winston Churchill said: 1--WE
are in the presence Of a disaster
Of the first magnitude which
has befallen Great Britain
and France. We have suS-
tanned total and unmitigated
The Washington times., 1938-10-31

ton Of the law Britain violated no
pledged, inaSmuch as she was obli-
gated to support France only II
france were attacked by Germany.
In this case France would have
been compelled to take the often
Sive.
Yet Europe as a whole today
classes France and Britain to-
gether, and as Mr.. Churchill says:
AN injury has been sustained
by the prestige and authority
of both the western democracies
which must woefully reduce
their influence with small coun-
tries of all kinds"

NOW Dominant,
Mood May Pass

And that is all there is against
Germany today. Yesterday the
whole of the Western World op-
posed her will to conquer Europe;
today there are half-heartedly
against her only the discredited,
disconsolate, almost despairing
Britain and France, shorn Of their
glory, bullied by Hitler, doubtful
now If they can defend their own
soil against the .Teuton colossus.
This mood may pass, but 1t Is pain
fully dominant now.
Who then would be with Ger
many in the war tomorrow? How
have the moral and material odds
changed? Is it possible that the
two great empires Of Britain and
France should have surrendered
not only their friend, but their own
security? What are Hitler's final
aims? Would Europe satisfy him?
