GERMANY AFTER THE WAR

WARNING BY EMIL LUDWIG New York, July 6. Emil Ludwig, the noted German author. has declared at Los Angeles that after the United Nations’ victory, Germany must be occupied by an army of soldiers and teachers, and that the occupation should last a long time. He adds: “A Gallup poll shows that 70 per cent, of Americans feel they are fighting against Hitler and not against the German people. This is a false and dangerous belief, which will lead to the same deceptions as the last war. "The German warrior people, as an entity guided by its intelligentsia, first followed the Kaiser, and now follows a proletarian in its desire to conquer the world. Hitler is Germany. We can effectively protect ourselves against the passion of the German people for war, only by taking from their hands for a certain time three things that were left to them in the Versailles Treaty—arms, education, and government. "What f propose is not punishment, but a temporary declaration of political immaturity.”
