Wellington, 1011 WAR GUILT Publication of the full exchange of messages be- tween the British and German Governments from August 22 and the terrible events of the last few days preceding declaration of war by Britain and France only serve to make it clearer than ever that the sole| responsibility for the present catastrophe shoulders of one man—Adolf Hitler, If this correspondence is published in Germany— or especially if, as seems more likely, the German end rests on the of the correspondence alone is published there—no| doubt millions of Germans, with no outside sources of information, may continue to think that Hitler's course was justified. They can do so only if their memories have forgotten the events of the last few years and wiped out the trail of broken pledges that Hitler left behind him in his diplomatic advances. series of The correspondence reveals an ever patient and persistent Chamberlain, seizing upon every hope of pacific adjustment, and a Hitler finally determined to carry-his threats-to the point of -actual war and stooping to new depths of brazen mendacity for the effect upon his own people. So reasonable and patient were the messages of Chamberlain and of the British Ambassador, that Hitler was driven to pretend that it was vital for Germany that the questions at issue should be settled, not merely in a matter of weeks, or even days, but of hours. To make this pretext look anything but ridiculous he coolly invented “killings” and “barbaric actions of maltreatment” (of the Ger- man population in Poland) It was precisely the technique adopted Czech persecutions a year before. in alleging The only message from the German Government that is written in a tone of reason—though it still demanded return of Danzig and a German corridor through the Corridor—is the proposed “sixteen-point” settlement of the Polish question which the German Foreign Minister read to the British Ambassador at top speed at midnight on August 30. It is now entirely obvious that this “offer” w ous two-sided discussion, but was merely framed as a propaganda document for the benefit of a German people already plunged into war. When the British Ambassador, hearing it for the first time, asked for the text, he was told that it was already too late, as a Polish plenipotentiary had not arrived in Berlin by that midnight as had been demanded by the German Government This demand had been handed to the British Am-| bassador only the evening before. The British, in| their note two days previously (August 28) had already informed the German Government that they had “re- | d definite assurance from the Polish Government Canadian Profiters Face HeavyPenalfies ivicune: cei 1 food profiteering ‘The penalty for arries a $5,000 fine or NEW To be issurd Se) close Sept. 15. and changes HAMILTON, Ont., Sept. 15.—Con- troller B.

This technique could 10t be used on a mere Ambassador, and Hitler appar- »ntly had little hope that he could work it again in iny case, for he set a time schedule with which it was virtually impossible for the British or Poles lu} omply. One internal evidence of the fraudulent character )f the whole German negotiations is significant. Xn‘ the 16-point proposal Hitler and von Ribbentrop de-| long as 12 months— | clare their willingness to wait & | | in fact, insist on at least that period—before the plebi- | | scite to settle the fate of the Corridor. Yet in their messages to the British they declare that it is impos- sible to wait more than two days for the arrival of the Polish negotiator they had demanded! | Even after Hitler had launched | Poland and bombarded open towns, the British and rench held off from announcing a state of war for wo days, advising the German Government that if | it would agree to withdraw its forces Great Britain “would be willing to regard the position as being the | same as it was before the German forces crossed the | frontier” and would be open to discussion on the mat- "m:\ between the German and Polish Governments. | This time the record could hardly be clearer than his attack on it is. Decentralized by War (Cleveland Plain Dealer) War conditions often give an unexpected impetus ‘ln social changes. Sometimes the result is evil, help- ,mg reactionary rather than liberal processes. Some- |times the ultimate outcome is desirable. Thus his- Hmmns have generally agreed that the amalgamation |of scores of the minute states and principalities of Europe in the Napoleonic wars was a wholesome pro- cess, in spite of the slaughter and destruction which | | accompanied it. A current example may be the exodus of large | parts of the civilian population from London, Paris and other major European cities. This of course is ‘primxnly a defense measure against war’s newest horror, aerial bombardment. But who can say what the ultimate result may be, particularly if the war is |long continued? From London, it is reported, some 600,000 children have been distributed through rural England. Another ;\'ery large number have left Paris. Presumably they will be billeted in western France. These children are expected to return to their homes when danger has passed. But when will that be? It is inevitable that as war conditions continue, industry and commerce in all the nations involved may be forced to adopt a similar scattering Is war, then, to achieve that decentralization of urban population which long has been urged by many social reformers? The idea is not at all fantastic. English and French parents whose hearts are torn at this separation from their children are not likely to see much to praise in this breaking up of family {life, however patiently they endure it as a war-born necessity. They may cry bitterly that the last war took away their grown sons, while this reaches into the very cradle. But if the parents, and their jobs, should eventually follow a great many of these chil- {dren, the permanent effect upon the social and indus- | trial life of the nation may very well be advantageous. War may thus have produced an unexpected but de- | sirable by-product. The Coming of Lothian (New York Times) Lord Lothian, sometime Philip Kerr, yesterday presented to President Roosevelt his credentials as Ambassador from Britain’s Crown—“and type of all her race.” He long since presented his credentials as a friend to the United States, with whose topography of mountain and plain he is familiar from coast to coast and with whose people he is acquainted in all walks of life and labor. No Briton could have more cordial reception, coming at this moment. He was |at the heart of things in the period of the World War ‘ns secretary to Lloyd George, and he has widened his j horizons to include all that is human. His “Round Table” came to be the round earth. He has been for years secretary of the Rhodes Trust, thus being in |touch with young men of greatest promise in the English-speaking world. But he has also established {a workingmen's college on one of the estates to which ‘he had fallen heir. And for all his titles and estates, he is still Philip Kerr, the Liberal who is invited |a Conservative Government to represent Britair Iar flung democracy in a land where as always “cities nd States in their infinite variety remain laboratories ox democratic activity.” A brilliant writer and speaker ‘whose political saint is' Abraham Lincoln, he will be | cordially received by the America whieh aceepts with | | |and unemployed. | configuration. |to dictate to one another.
