MUST GERMANY

COLLAPSE?

By Field Marshal Jan Christian Smuts

N°

O discussion, however, brief, of the international futuro can be helpful without reference to Germany. She is the heart not only of the Continent but also of the European problem both in peace and

war.

With her utter defeat and the de- struction of her war potential and adequate steps taken to prevent its recovery, she may not again become, and

not becoine, probably will military menace for a long time, if ever. But she may costly become a no less dangerous menace of an- other kind. As a vast depressed area--human and economic she. may become a centre of infection the which may poison much of Continent,

Is well understood, but seems To the course marked out for her by present policies, which must inevitably entail a terrible responsibility, perhaps heaviest of all on Britain. While her territory in the east has been curtailed by about one-quarter and a further curtail- ment or dismemberment is advocated in the west, the population of this reduced area is being increased by somo millions from the lepped-off areas and by displaced persons from elsewhere.

The scale

of employment and velihood is being reduced by the dismantling and removal of indus trial plant as war reparations. The food scale is being reduced to the lowest level short of virtual slow starvation, and with the present world-wide food shortage- even this Work scale will be difficult to mainlain.

with the

dis- unforeseen appearance of her economic unity and thus a slow strangulation of the whole economic system. Bad as will be the effects of all these restriction and curtailments, they will be most severely

felt in the British zone, which is not only the most densely populated and most highly trialised, but also the least food- producing part of Germany and the part most thoroughly destroyed by war bombing.

Indi-

Any human and economie collapse. will therefore be most severely felt in the British zone, and the inevit- able odium, however undeserved. will be, most severely blamed on Britain as the occupying power.

THE repercussions of all this, not only in Germany, but In Britain. and in the world, generally, can be imagined. The situation

carlly clearly calls for a revision and re- versal of policles which will at least minimise the terrible human and social situation which looms in the not. distant future, and which the conscience neithor of th

country 'nor of the world will long tolerate. It is no use establishing United Nullons with its elaborate arrange-" ments for world security and for

It would be a caso not merely of punishing Germany for her sin against mankind, but of punishing mankind itself and this adding to the ain and the wrong. Destroy the Germany of Bismarck and litter by all means, do away with the highly centralised Germany whose military might proved a menace to the world, decentralise it in a federal system

which will be rendered capable of ngain becoming a menace, and which might ultimately be safely integrated into the United Nations organisation.

In all this trip, although in no way sensational, there has been an element of drama.
