GERMANY'S FAVOUR

THOMAS MANN, the famous

German writer, has strong- ly criticised the Allied polley of trying to curry Ger- many's favour. He suggested that a federation of German sintes would be the best solution for the problem of Germany's future. He condemns efforts to form a western bloc which, he said, would be a great danger to the peace of the world.

"I do NOT think that the present race for the love of Germany is at all wise," said ́ Mann. "On no account should. the western powers support the impression of the Germans that coming conflict with Russia, Germany would be an ally of the Western powers.”

Mann, who left Germany when the Nazis came to power and is now

a citizen of the United States, said he was not in favour of any Western blòc against Russia.

danger to peace, and the pre- servation of peace is the decisive question today. If peace can be pre served for the next six, or ten years, then I think the world will be safe and will have taken
