AFTER THE WAR
WHAT OF GERMANY? "In the coming peace it will not do to make slaves of the Germans. We cannot imitate Hitler's methods. Only the leading Nazis will have to be tried before a Court. The general feeling of hate against the aggressor will And satisfaction in the execution of the Nazi leaders. The victorious Allies will work in Germany without internment camps and without executions. I can forsee an active Germany, alive with the work of eminent scientists and technicians, of thinkers and artists, a Germany' not excluded from international congresses, trusts, and sports meetings, and in no way dishonoured in world relationship. In 19IS the victor took provinces and left them arms. This time he should leave the provinces but take the arms. The last time the victors dishonoured the nation but left her self-governed. This time they should leave them their intellectual quality but take the government for the first five years out of their hands." — Emil Ludwig. German writer in exile, as reported in Los Angeles Times.
