THE DEEP SENSE. of shame and disqus, which is sweeping over the world follow- ing 'Germany's intensified persecucion against the Jews, will, it is to te noped, cause the perpetrators of ine atrocities, and those who allow them, to conalder, inc unter folly and wickedness of their action.

nty own reaction takes the form of a deep sense of pity and sympathy for those being crucified and a feeling of shame that any supposedly and professedly cuted muion can tolerate such appalling injustice.

Of what can Germany be thinking & descend to such depths of inhumanti? Once a monarchy, she has passed througs a metamorphosie filiase, which missed democracy and landed her in the lap of dictatorism Not that that would matter une od if the ni siructure was founded on uud will to all men and justice to all creeds and races under her control. It is because of the fact that some actions have their repercussions outside the sphere of her carol, that the world has risen in pruiert against this persecution of people whose only fault is that they have been born Jews.

If Germans prefer mass psychology to the liberty of individual action, that is matter for themselves; but when it becomes mass hysteria against a defenceless section of the community which has its counterpart in every country, univerzal pro- test must follow.

Je is indeed pitiful and shameful, but arising from it all is an ever grawing sense of apprehension and consternation that such a poisonous doctrine can be per- mitied to develop.

TOW LONG will Germans allow themselves to be be looked down on in the coun-

ells of decent-thinking peoples in the world?

HOW

In every country which values justice and equality is a feeling of revulsion against those whose inhuman actions are ringing infery and disaster to thousands of men, women, children, yes, and chlidren yet unborn. Never mind whether born in the hearts of ~en of every atheist, herctic or the religiously-minded, there colour and race, the power to differentiate between right and wrong.

Germans domiclied in foreign countr es enjoy an environment not to be found in their own country, aнey are cour.cous tiemselves and are treated courteously. Is it to be believed that they agree with the cruel doctrine adopted by their own feah and blood in Germany? I doubt it. Bu, neverancicas, on the shoulders of every German abroad rests ue responsibilny of erpreting to his Motherland that her action is meeting with the strongest possible disapproval of the peoples of the earth outside Germany. It is indeed surprising that Germans have not registered their option from the four carners of the world, and peridoned Herr Hiller to remove ine silgang under which each and every one of them suffers.

THE OVERSEAS Germans cannot defend the criminal persecution of the Jews, and if by their silence they condone is, they are only doing their country a dis-service, and cannot complain if they And themselves ostracised by nasionais of other coun- tries who have, in the past, thought well of them.

What is town will surely be reaped, and unless Germany stops this senseless and wicked hatred of the Jews, she may be assured that just as the day follows the night, so e day of reckoning will dawn. Mercy and justice are not the virtues of weaklings, but the qualities by which the strong are judged, to take unfair advanges of strength is the way of the bully and the oppressor, and in its wake follows a hatred which will not be quenched, no matter what excuses are offered.

་

IN THE NAME of humanity. I suggest trat Hongkong Germans might well set a noble example to their kin scattered elsewhere throughout the world, by regis- tering their resentment and concern at the harsh and unjust action of their Govern- ment and people in Germany.

I reiterate my belief expressed above, that, unless Germans that, in non- certain manner, their disapproval of the campaign against the Jews, they will surely find themselves ostracised in social and commercial intercourse throughout the world.'

Japanese Officers Admire Chiang Kai-Shek In Their Heart Of Hearts As A Leader, And A Man, Says Returned War Correspondent

Wish It Were Possible To Negotiate Peace With Him

MR. SAMSON'S TRIBUTE TO THE CHINESE

"WHEN I ARRIVED in Hankow I had the opportunity of talk- ing privately with Japanese army and navy officers and journal'sts, and cne and all admitted that in their heart of hearts they admired General'sa'mo Chiang Kai-shek as a man, and as a leader, and it was perfectly obvious that they deeply regretted that it was somehow impossible. from the'r point of view, to negotiate with him at some future date to end the present hostilitics."

This remark was made by Mr. G.

L. G. Sumsen, a war correspondent:
