Spirit of the Press
THE SUNDAY TIMES LOOKS FORWARD “The worst service that democracy can render to the cause of peace in Eastern Europe is for the West to hold out hopes of assistance which may not be honoured, and may prevent the East from taking timely and effective measures for its own salvation. Divide to control is as true of the problem of peace as of the problems of government. “The conditions of our future peace are in our own hands and not only Germany’s. Misty as the outlook is, one sees no likelihood of war this year ; and if peace can be kept this year it can be kept for the next 20. Given ordinary prudence the popular instinct of hope this New Year is probably wiser than the gloomy forebodings of the listeners at the doors of the Chancelleries. There is nothing to fight about, no problem that the most successful war would not complicate and make more intractable. But how much there is to do if the nations will only give their attention to the things that really matter.”—The Sunday Times (London).
