HATE: LOVE: MONEY
* He it Hitler, the German stormy pelrel, may visit England, lo assure Englishmen (including other stormy petrels like Mr. Winston Churchill and Sir Oswald Mosley) "of the peaceful intentions of his paity." ' Since the British Prime Minister and ; Foreign Secretary visited Berlin in 1 July, architects of Anglo-German rapprochement have taken fresh hope. Noel Pouter writes in the September "Fortnightly" that "even during the war the German people, in spite of ; the ridiculous official propaganda, felt no deep hatred of England." In ', the face of this remark it would be ■ ungenerous to recall the "Hymn oT 1 Hate" and General Bernhardi. But 1 the fact is that Germany cannot be allowed lo sink. If she is not saved for sentiment, she must be saved for her debts. The French themselves have seen that, and arc discussing in Washington a plan for culling clown the mortgage in preference lo foreclosure. The world applauds, because ,lo (.'ill one mortgage will probably
mean lo cut all-. Thus a financial bridge already exists along which champions of German rehabilitation may march. Moreover, some of the Continental nations have a military as well as a financial interest' in raising Germany. Military dominance exerted by France is no more tolerable than it was when cxerlcd by Germany. The Mussolini attack (in to-day's cablegrams) on the Versailles Treaty is eloquent. Like Senator Borah, Signor Mussolini expects lo shock people. What a strange pair, tliough, to be running in double harness.
