“The present German leaders preach peace to foreigners but war to home Viudienoes,” states the Times. “An oxampe of the sort of talk that is being dinned into German ears is given in a* letter from two correspondents who picked it uni in London on the wireless. Germany signed the Kellogg Past renouncing war as an instrument of policy. Will Herr Hitler tell his own compatriots {bat Germany intends to Stand by the Pact? Will the German Government remove from his official post the Brunswick Professor whose school manual recommends the study of chemical and bacteriological warfare? Uoral rearmament is at the

very centre of Nazi teaching. And the aims of the party involve the absorption cf. Germans outside Germany. Other countries therefore cannot possibly regard the Nazi warspeeches as an internal matter. r J hey must ceaso before there can he a hope of effective disarmament, it is still a thousandfold worth while to sign a Convention which will establish the principle that the smaller armies of the future are to serve only the purpose of defence and of police. Its signature even without Germany would not be altogether valueless. It would bring home to the German people, as perhaps nothing else would, their present moral isolation. And it should be possible to make it plain to them that its coming into operation would depend * not so much on the lapse of a specified number of years as on the cessation of war propaganda.”
