FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND DEFENCE.
TO TUB EDITOR. Sir, —Are our military advisers really upset at the doing of Herr Hitler? After all, if they had not put black troops in Germany, created the Polish Corridor, and starved German women and children after the war was over Herr Hitler would never have come to power. He is their own child; possibly they admire him. Possibly he forms a good excuse for getting this country under their thumb. The oath they require from soldiers undermines democracy by destroying the liberty of the individual. We know how little respect they have for democracy j they defied it, in fact, when they seized the present Minister of Mines during the last war. Once a man has placed himself under military _ law the dear old ser-geant-major will explain to him that he is mud, a dummy to do what he is told, a creature of the officers’ whims. This is the training that is supposed to develop character. —I am, t*c., Love The Child.
