ONE WAY WITH GERMANY
SIR,—Some of your pro-German correspondents frighten me. Don't they frighten anybody else?
Soon after the 1914-18 war we left the Germans in possession of their country and its resources, when all countries neighbouring upon Germany had been looted and devastated : and look where that has led us. We hoped last time that the tiger would change his stripes ; but as time went on, he looked less and less like a tame cat. Are we going to do the same thing again? Perhaps the limiting factor is, what terms are such that England and/or Russia will be willing to spend effort to enforce them in 196o and later. If so, there might be prefixed to them a set-out of the considerations which we wish our successors in 1960 to have in mind. But I doubt whether words alone will protect thern.—Yours faithfully, E. PEASE. Guisborough.
