There was to be general disarms-
ment-
TT was 10 mark the end OF
secret diplomacy, with all ques-
tons freely discussed, above all the
right Of self determination OF
peoples.
Germany believed those assur-
ances. and, trusting them, laid
down her arms. Then began
breach of word such as had never
been seen before In the world. The
time Of enslavement and oppres-
sion began.
There was no justice. There
was robbery and blackmail. No
democrat worried about the Ire
Of the German people.
Prisoners Of war were not re-
turned, but had to suffer In prs
cns abroad. Germany was robbed
Of her colonies. Our ships were
lured out and confiscatcd- Our
oroperfy was taken from us.
Then followed financial plum
daring and this rose to astronomic
figures. and could be paid only II
the German reduced his standard
Of living.

THAT for which German indus
try and thrift had strivcn for
decades was now lost. Germans
were torn from the reich. Thus

Disarmament, which Germany
alone carried out, was not followed
bv others. They did not want TO
abolish war as q political weapon.
They took our colonies.
"a great people. through q
breach Of word. had their exist
ence rendered technically impos-
sible.
~Ons man said there were TO-
600 900 Germans too many. :.
We accepted this collapse in dif-
ferent WAYS. some with resigna-
ton. others lsthargically, others
hysterically.

must Be divided into the virtuous

are primarily virtuous. while Ger

which certainly were not virtuous
England has been unvirtuous
for too long to speak about virtue
