SIR,—On P. tot of his latest book, Make and Break
with the Nazis, Hermann Rauschning says, " I was certainly in favour of German rearmament." The only reason he gives for this is " because the healthy flesh of the fruit will only grow round a healthy kernel." Does he really think that the healthy kernel of a nation must consist of aeroplanes and tankS? Let us hope that he and his friends in Germany are beginning to realise that aeroplanes are not very "healthy " things. On P. 225 of his book Air Power and the Cities, 1930, Mr. J. M. Spaight said, " Let us end it (war) if we can. No one in his senses wants to keep it. Meanwhile, however, let us not adopt the very foolish attitude to it that the more horrible it is the better, because then nations will be less inclined to fight." It is this attitude that the Germans have adopted with a considerable amount of success. Surely, it is our turn to adopt it against Germany, with the hope that the results will be remembered for Hitler's.
" one thousand years."—Yours faithfully, H. LE M. BROCK Woodlands, Hartsbourne, Bushey Heath.
