MUNICH AND AFTER.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—lt seems that The Munich agreement signed by Herr Hitler, Mr Chamberlain, and others does not have anything to do with world peace. The statements made in the news items in your paper seem to contradict their intentions and bring to light the fact, to which most people are blind, that it was more of a bill of sale of innocent people to the hand that rattles the sabre. Britain at first requested us to take refugees from Czechoslovakia, which she (England) herself knew would be forced on the world as soon as the agreement was signed. Are the colonies to be the dumping grounds for Europe? Secondly, Mr Chamberlain made the statement that, no matter who won the war in China, they would have to come to Britain to borrow capital to run the country. It seems that world peace comes from the Bank of England—the security for the loans being the desolation of China. No matter how many innocent people are killed, ns long as they come to the Bank of England, there is no need to worry about such crimes. Now, to top off world events, it seems that Britain is going to lie down and he dictated to by France. After having to pay for chunking water (God’s own gift to man) and other happenings during the war 1914-18, we are asked to be ready to defend France against an unknown invader (keeping in mind the Munich agreement). Wo have not seen the end of the 1914-18 war. There is still more to follow. Why we should worry about France is beyond me, as 70 per cent, of the lads in the Home country have to be fed under Government supervision to build them up, before they are fit to join the regular forces. If lads have to be better fed under the supervision of the Home Government, why should we have to send underfed lads to de-
fend foreign shores, when God has provided enough for every man, woman, and child in the Empire which He Himself created? Is England to he called the mother country? If so, I would like to know why?—l am, etc., Semper Paratds. November 30.
