PLAIN SPEAKING
WHAT THE GERMANS MUST BE TOLD “I very strongly agree that nothing is to be gained by flattering the Germans. I doubt whether it is very much use flattering any peoples, but the Germans themselves would never flatter anybody unless they were afraid of them,” said Viscount Cecil of Chelwood in a recent -speech, “and they think that we would never flatter them unless we were afraid of them. The thing to do with them is to say; Your present policy is inconsistent with any kind of freedom or justice, or liberty in the rest of Europe, and it must be abolished. We must destroy the Government, and we can have nothing to say to you or your Government till we are quite satisfied that the present policy of Germany has been materially and permanently changed.”
