FRIENDS OF EUROPE PUBLICATIONS
The Friends of Europe have published seven pamphlets on the German menace (Friends of Europe, 97 St. Stephen's House, S.W.1. : lid. each). Professor Einstein's plea for a European humanism, made at the Albert Hall, is re- printed, and there are two other reprints of Sir Austen Chamberlain's • speeches in the Commons and of the article by Mr. J. L. Garvin in which he renounced Germano- philia. Mr. Wickham Steed adds a fourth paper on
The Future of Europe " : like much of his work, the new facts and the prophetic views which he advances are spoilt by his protestation that in the past he has never been heard. Obviously the last three, written by anonymous Germans, re the most important. " A German Diplomat " protests against untimely talk of treaty revision, and two experts reveal plans, full and odious enough for the English ear, for German rearmament. " Germany Rearming " shows that the only armaments now needed by Germany for imme- diate war are big cannon. To supply herself with these will take her 14 days. " The Preparation of German Peace- Time Industries for War "'is an alarniing commentary on the mechanized convertibility of modern Germany. " War- potential " has become much, more valuable than actual war-armament, for a nation • can develop the most modern material and yet profess pacifism up to The Day.
