DISMANTLING IN GERMANY
tx,—In a leading article you say: "There may be some ground for dis- antling the (German) factories ; it may be some value as a military cguard." If you have read Mr. Victor Gollancz's letter in The Times f August 18th I think you will have little doubt on this score. He says at dislike of the Western Allies, and chiefly of ourselves, is poisoning tnore and more Germans against us, and we should be " adult " enough to realise this. One can only say that we must put up with this " hate" ; eve cannot stand a third war just because we have been once more too ble. The last forty years have taught this lesson, no matter what the ericans or even you yourself, Sir, may think. Everything is set for a cw war in which Germany, unoccupied and secretly rearmed by waverers, Russia, can scatter us to the winds, and America be left alone, in a inking world. Almost any " peace " plant can be turned secretly to ,lartike purposes. Surely we arc sufficiently " adult " to be "once bit, twice shy," in spite of all specious arguments ? We have philanthropised serrnany long enough. What do we care for their dislike?—Yours, etc., ALBAN F. L. BACON. Burghclere, Hams.
