FUTURE AIR—RAIDS
Six,—Whenever the question of the future Government is being dis- cussed it seems to me that too few people consider what would be the effect on England of an air offensive such as we are now directing against Germany. This war has been fought in self-preservation and the first condition of the peace should ensure our continued preservation. We must not risk another German war: next time it would be a "knock out."
There should be certain forms of Government which the Germans may not be allowed to choose for themselves. They should not be allowed to choose a dictator, or a monarchy, Hapsburg, Hohenzollern or other. Further, they should not be allowed to choose a one-party form of Government, which leads to the suppression of opposition. They may choose what form of democracy they will enjoy, but that should be the limit of their choice: the constitution must be guaranteed by us against a coup d'etat.—Yours sincerely, MICHAEL KELLY. District Office, Keta, Gold Coast.
