This information set me thinking of the days when the "Times" was implicitly advo- cating. the secession to Ger- many of the Sudetenland and publishing a letter jointly signed by, among others.

other hand the amateurs who then controlled our foreign policy didn't suffer wise men gladly. The rest is history.

If all that seems past, it has something to do with the violent attacks made on him, for "Black Record," if it is his view of the German nation, is, by implication, his justifien- tion and a round condemnation of the Municheers.

WHAT is this pamphlet? It

is an analysis of the Ger- temperament, pointed with historical references; and it concludes with suggestions as to how Germany's per- petual desire to dominate the world can best be curbed' in future. Its moral is that Goethe was right when he said that as an individual the German is a human being, but that as a race they are im- possible,

"The Times," finding nothing better to attack him: about, attacks him for having spoken in public at all, which is ir relevant.

You feel that he shouldn't be indoors, that a tennis racket might appear suddenly in his hand, and that. he wouldn't serve a fault. Or that he's only waiting for the right moment to sit down and dush on paper some thought that has suddenly taken shape: behind two sharp, pale eyes,
