Brain-wave!

ON TUESDAY Britain deported six Germans as undesirable. Germany counters yesterday by deporting six Britons. Belgium joins in by deporting a German.

We see great possibilities if this is kept up.

Britain should retaliate now for yesterday's deportations by deporting some more Germany. Then Germany will retaliate again.

If only all the nations will join in this merry little game, we'll be able to settle Europe's minority problem. Let's deport all the Germans back to Ger- many, and the Germans can de- port all their aliens back to their own countries and everyone will be happy.
