BRITISH SYMPATHY

„ : "There is in this country and there l}as been for many years past a great ftody of opinion that has been by> ho ltteans blind to the claims of the great <£ermaiv people to sympathetic- consideration in view of their position after the war. The tragic thing is that events that are happening now ajhd that have recently happened have done so much to forfeit in the minds of those Very people who are most sympathetic to the German people, somie of the sympathy which, I presume to say, Germany needs. The British people, and I say it, I believe, vjmHout any self-complacency, are in these matters a just and generous people, but there are some things Ayhich they find it very diflicuilt to anderstand. We earnestly desire that |he time may come when we may with a gjood; conscience and a full heart contribute to the solution of the problems of Europe, but we can only con. jjribute if we have.complete confidence in the treatment which minorities receive in all parts of the word."—Sir John Simon.
