instant rectification on pain of force, such would indeed appear to be the case, but occasionally one pauses to reflect whether most of these signs are not, in fact, a little overdrawn. It is true that Britain and her allies are building up the greatest combine for destruction that the world will ever see; it is equally true that the Totalitarian States are making desperate efforts to keep abreast of the cracking | pace set in this universal re- armament.
No Briton really doubts that the Empire is genuinely striving to prevent war. The Axis never thought that Britain wanted anything but peace in which to enjoy their possessions. It is pardonable to reflect now that the Axis Powers themselves are anxious to avoid a large-scale clash, though their words are much bigger than their gune; and, as time goes on, they will abandon their efforts to change the Versailles Treaty by force. The question will then remain to be solved: What will Britain do with her powerful weapons? Though she has stated again and again that she has no aggressive designs, history has shown that no powerful nation) is content to sun herself in the burnishment of her own armour, but is irresistibly tempted to throw her strength into the scales on questions which are always arising in Europe-and Britain's interests are not con- fined to Europe.
At the best a benevolent policemanship of a large part of the world would be undertaken by the Democracies and the old cycle of the rise and fall of. Powers with intermittent quiar- rels and wars would start again. It is then not so much to the immediate future but to the years ahead that thought must be carefully trained Bo as to avoid falling Into the fault of bellicosity which we now attri- bute, and justly for the most, part, to our potential adversaries of to-day. A little more breath- ing space with fewer hot words, and the crises of Europe will probably dissolve of them- selves, leaving Britain holding a sword in each hand and wonder-:

"I have a sort of jester's free- dom to say anything I like to the Leader. of saying anything to him about But I shall never dream Austrin, and I strongly advise you to steer clear of the mutter. It is being decided by the Leader alone. It is a point on which he is not quite sane."
Blomberg's reply went far to conarm me in the conviction that the German nation was proceedlig on its National Socialist course to inevitable self-destruction.

cence to avow them. But it la not innocence-it is the subtlest cun- ning. It is just as effective, in the opposite direction, as the practice of the famous maxim of Mcin Kampf that any lle will be believed It is big enough: any truth will be disbelieved if it is big enough.
W
THAT happened in Aus- tria in 1938 and the way it happened was a self- condemnation of National Socialist policy, a clear revelation by the lenders themselves of purposes and methods which to this day have not been candidly admitted.
Germany's future policy will re- main permanently compromised by the destruction of Austria and Czecho-Slovakia.
In these acts Germany has of her stamped the character whole political course.
She has given the moral ad- vantage to her opponents in every outstanding issue, and provided the moral war against her, with them with startling arguments la
which to weaken the unity of her people in any new armed conflict.
B
UT it a German, even one who is critical of the National Socialist regime In-other-respects, is offered any criticism of its foreign policy le will be sure to reply with this ques- tlon:
Could any other German policy, especially in so short a time, have so completely destroyed the whole fabric of the Peace of Ver- sailles, and so bloodlessly, and, in addition, have created a state of unity such as has never before existed in the history of the German nation? Was not this a masterly performance, an historic achievement of age-long Import- ance?
But there is another side to this į triumph. Already R is clear that the occupation of Prague has brought into active operation the revulsion of which there were signs beneath all the jubilation over the peace preserved by the Munich agree- ment.
When Hitler drove into the snow-covered streets of Prague and entered the venerable Krads- chin Palace, his triumph was already the greatest of moral de- feats.
The moral trump cards had veen played into the hands of his oppo-

T
HE crisis that came on March 15, 1039, was not the last. And the signs of a great coalition that began to appear after the Munich meeting were not the last. Germany wil have to take contriual note of them from now on.
There has sprung up again, ki- most in a night, the whole front before which Germany succumbed twenty years ugo.
The small neutral Stales, too, forced at pre- sent to take a cautious ine on account of the dangerous proxim- By of the Reich, will stand on the side of the democracles at latest on the day of the outbreak of war; they will very likely, in any case, be riven to do so by the pressure of National Socialist Regression.
Thus Germany will realise the full extent of her isolation only on. the day on which it has become too- iate for any change of course, and the mechanism of a general mobilisation has been Irrevocably Bet going.
U
NQUESTIONABLY the attitude of the West to- wards Germany nag considerably stiffened. The moment does not seem to be lar off at which the new coalition will emerge from its present defensive to deliver an ultimatum, not with any purpose of conquest. but to demand guarantees front Germany in regard to peace, disarmament and the evacuation of certa occupied territories.
Such a policy scems inevitable because the democracies are not in a position to support the enormous burdens of
permanent mobilisa- tion, and because the cost of armin- ments is so murderous that it will compel the consideration at least of their potential use in psycho- logical warfare.
That means recourse to the methods of menace by superlor material resources, the tactics which National Socialism has it- self employed, being brought to bear against it.
T
HIS much is certain. that the present course run. The only thing that is not will end in Germany's
certain is the actual road that will be pursued to ruin and the number of victims with which it will be strewn.
All that can be said with cer- tainty is that the pace will grow and the problems to be faced will accumulate. until there will be no
way out save by a radical change of course. No revolution can last for ever.
Those institutions alone can be Definatient that serve spiritual and not "blological" principles, that serve Justice and equity, and voluntarily accept limits to their own authority.
Not a maximum of power and domination but of freedom and Justice, is the proper atm of any re-ordering of Europe.
