oclation called “The Anglo
Fellowship,” a name which
shows that men
iorgei wars > as
easily as they do
seasickness, gave
a dinner in Lon
don in honor of
the Duke and
Duchess of
Brunswick, who
are Germans, as
was the British
royal family orig
inally.
Among other
speakers at the
dinner. Lord
Lothian talked
about war, the
importance of doing something to
Mtisfy Germany, now that Germany
; is strong enough to fight back.
f. . Lord Lothian has discovered that
[ it is one thing to deal with dissatis
fied populations when they are un
harmed, and a very different thing
to deal with the same dissatisfied
j populations when they are fully
armed.
!?■ The British made that discovery
’lor themselves long ago, before
Lord Lothian was born, in the
process of building up their great
empire. If the Boers, Hindus, Zu
lus and some others had been as
.thoroughly armed as they were
thoroughly dissatisfied, the British
empire would be smaller.
, Americans who want to know
.what Europeans, including the Eng
lish, are thinking and planning, will
‘be interested in the following state
ment by Lord Lothian concerning
; Germany. It has been suggested
that England and France should
. pacify Germany by giving back
same of the colonial properties tak
en from Germany at the end of the
war. Lord Lothian is one' of the
numerous Englishmen who do not
‘.believe in “giving things back.”
Said he:
? "Personally, I do not believe that
the problem can be solved along the
lines of the restoration to Germany
at the old German colonies. That
rWould not solve Germany’s difficul
ties, and things have changed since
Uli The question must be con
sidered on much wider lines. All
IhAeolonial nations must be willing
to play their contribution to a
transfer of territory. The new world
as well as the old must be willing
once more to reopen its doors to
’trade and migration.”
The statement of the noble lord
' that "the new world as well as the
old MUST be willing,” etc., has no
pleasant sound in American ears.
The word “must,” especially, is
one that a wise Englishman could
hardly apply to the United States
after 1776. Lord Lothian probably
meant that the United States
"ought,” not that it “MUST,” once
more reopen its doors to trade and
^migration.
, The United States, it is to be
boped, will decide for itself about
reopening its doors to trade and
Immigration. This country needs
more of the immigration that made
it what it is—it is NOT a redskin
eountry, its people came from Eu
rope, and it needs many millions
more of the same kind. It also
needs, and the majority of its peo
ple intend to keep, American jobs,
American wages and American
money for the people who live and
work in the United States.
' There is nothing like being strong
.■nd prepared for trouble. You no
tice how differently Germany ap
pears in the eyes of France and
other nations surrounding her to
day, as compared with the years
after the war. Hear Lord Lothian
on that subject:
l “Germany now has both equality
gnd strength. Reparations have
gone. Part V of the Treaty of Ver
saiiles has gone. The demilitariza
tion of the Rhineland has gone, and
the socoer that recovery of her
natural right to self-defense is ac
cepted without further discussion
latter. Germany is rearmed. It
remains for the British govem
to abandon once and for all the
system whereby she first has
conference with her friends and
presents the results as a kind
ultimatum to Gerpaany—the sys
represented by '.the recent
Losubstili
■e—and to'substitute for
and equal and frank discus
around a table. The old sys
is not equality, either for Ger
or for ourselves.”
