and Reason as a righteous defence!

In June Chamberlain is well on the way to being the arch- type of cunning, hypocritical Briton.

The Angriff writes: "This 'good old man' flew the Channel for the first time to Cologne. Naturally, he only undertook this journey in the cause of pence.* He was consequently feted in England and even in Germany, because a few fools really believed in this apostle of peace."

So much for Mr. Chamberlain and appeasement.

He is an angel_compared with Mr. Churchill. Listen to what the Hakenkreuzbanner наук about Mr. Churchill:-.

"Churchill is one of the arch- destroyers of Europe. He bears the mark of Cain-the brand of the murderer of peace among nations."

Another pet subject is Mr. Duff Cooper. "We do not hesi- tate to denounce Duff Cooper as The most degenerate of all the agitntors of recent years... he is an unfathomably mean, bloodthirsty war-monger. Jewish than the Jews, more Satanic than Satan himself, the incarnate curse of this age," writes the same respected news. paper.

those struggling for the salvage of reason and justice inj a world of jettisoned Ideals drop a spate of testlets upon the invader's people; endeavour in noble, mea sured, stirring words to bring the light of truth upon a cruelly deluded nation.

These people, having done their uttermost to avoid-even to the lili of casting doubt-the calamity of war, now show no vestige of bitter

hute; of red-toothed rage.

Enemy vessels are captured-and the crews saved. Allen enemies in the lands of the opposing forces are courteously treated, interned with no more than the inevitable hard- ship.

But many a British heart to-day beats fast at the possible fate of kinsfolk in that land of false and bitter acrimony; before this dance of death is ended. Before that un- happy land can take her place in a world of ease, peace, justice and happiness she must arise and realize the utter folly of her stampeded leaders.

Thus: "The English are very fond of talking about political morality. In an age when little was said about political morality they gathered together a world empire. And now they uphold that empire with moral cliches.""

BY way of contrast to the way Germany treats her Jews take this example of how Britain treats the Arabs:

"During an attack on the Arab village of Attil five people were deliberately chosen and beaten tortured. They were {over the head. Then their eyes were put out. After they had been mutilated in this ghastly way they were finally given the coup de grace."
