GERMAN COLONIES
RETURN ADVOCATED SOME BRITISH OPINION IN FAVOUR KEY TO INTERNATIONAL CONTENTMENT [By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright] LONDON, Feb. 1.
The Initial shots in Germany’s renewed colonial campaign were fired in an article in the Zwoelf Uhrblatt, which gives prominence to contributions from Lord Redesdale, Dr. W. Harbutt Dawson, and Sir Ernest Bennett. Sir Ernest Bennett said: Germany was robbed of her entire colonial possessions. We have no moral right to them and it is our duty to return them.
Dr. Dawson: It is impossible that a small handful of people should demand the control of one-third of the world while Germany is without a square yard of overseas territory. I hope that Herr Adolf Hitler is tireless in his efforts to make his former enemies realise that they, and not he, hold the key to international contentment.
Lord Redesdale: Germany’s demands cannot be refused. An increasing number of people in England are realising the justice of them.
