To be neutral means to hold onese out of t conflict in every respect.” We can't assume that Dr. Goebbels was talking to us. We can assume that he was trying to bull some public man, some newspaper or perhaps som barber milkman or housewife in Denmark, the Nethes s, Belgium, Sweden, Norway or one of the weaker Balkan countries, He was trying to tell the governments of those countries that they musn’ta allow statesmen, newspapers, barbers, milkmen or| housewives to express the opinion that any informed and decent human being must have about Dr. Goeb- bels and his colleagues. Perhaps the German Army will go out and prance up and down along the Bel- | gian or Dutch border if Dr. Goebbels is not listened to. The inference as to German war aims is clear. There going to be any free speech in Europe elsewhere if the Nazis can help it. Well, we are a long way off and quite safe. Our zovernment has not urged us, as it did in 1914, to be neutral in thought. We can say what we like of Dr. Goebbels and his friends. But the truth is we can't insult them. No one can insult a govern- ment which is somewhere between 800 and 25,000 years behind the times in every attribute of civiliza- tion and human decency.
