THE GERMAN CAULDRON
[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR. ]
Strt,—It is a great pity that Mr. H. Powys Greenwood should allow his sympathetic nature to run away with his reason in writing on Germany and ignore the basic fact of the European situation.
It is puerile for Mr. Greenwood to write of the " tense " faces of the Germans. Other peoples will have tense faces if Germany attempts to dominate Europe as she attempted to dominate it in 1914. Are the French to live forever under the bullying threats of a stronger neighbour without making alliances ? Let Germany attack France again and the " tea- drinking and cigarette-smoking " English will repeat their past performance.
Mr. Bernard Shaw pointed out long ago that socialist propa- ganda should be conducted in right-wing journals. Why do pacifist propagandists preach to converted England and dot to unconverted Germany with its " tense " faces ? Do they want the wolf to eat the lamb ?—Yours faithfully,
Senile Club, 69 Brook Street, W. 1.
