B2 PLAGE FOR RUSS HELD PEAE NEED Chamberlain Urges - Clear Thinking, Plain Speech for Britain. A review of the European situ- ation, which he finds discouraging, 18 given here in the last of two ar- ticles by the jormer British foreign secretary, Conservative leader and one of the nation’s elder statesmen, who veices the opinion that, while England longs for peace, she is not prepared to accept a “dictated peace.” BY SIR AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN. By Radio to The Star. LONDON, September 24—It is in- deed a gloomy picture that I have drawn of Western and Central Eu- rope, although not, I think, more gloomy than the truth. But I have as yet' said nothing of Russia. The shadows of the East fall across the already darkened picture of the West. The “feature”—indeed, I might say the only theme—of the Nuremberg week was a call to a coming crusade sgainst Bolshevik Russia. 1 shall not be thought to have any sympathy with the Soviet system of government. It is as hateful to me as anarchy itself, as alien to our habits. institutions and traditions as the Nazi system. There is indeed— though it would be a shock to Hitler to hear it—a great resemblance be- tween the two. Supressions Are Same. There is the same complete sup- pression of freedom of thought and life; the same spirit of religious perse- cution; the same violence; the same terror. And I, at least, cannot but remember that, in their opposition to Stresemann and the policy of Lo- carno, the German nationalists of that day, now incorporated in the Nazi party, claimed that Soviet Russia was Germany's ally and that co-operation with the West should be no part of German policy. Be that as it may, it will, I think, be difficult to find a parallel for such a gross attack by the rulers of one country upon the government of an- other. The language which Glad- stone used about Turkey, in his cam- paign against the Bulgarian 2 ties, pales before that of Goebbels and Der Fuehrer himself in the Nurem- berg rally, and Gladstone at the time was an independent member of Par- liament in opposition to the govern- ment of that day. When the third Napoleon at his New Year day reception on January | 1, 1859, said to the Austrian Ambas- | sador that he regretted that relations | between their two countries were not | more friendly, these measured words gent a thrill through Europe. They were the prelude to the Franco-Aus- trian war. Anglo-German Barrier Up. Much less than the provocations of Nuremberg week would have set Eu- rope afire only a few years ago. What was Hitler's purpose and for what action are his words a prelude? He has erected between Germany and | Britain a barrier by his demand for | return of the former German colonies. | ‘What is the purpose of these violent | utterances? It is said it is to make it clear to France that friendship with Russia is incompatible with friend- ship with Germany and, not improb- ably, to indicate to Great Britain that | & m:eting of the Locarno powers will | never take place, or, at least, will bear | no useful fruit unless it can be made to serve the purpose of the anti- Bolshevik campaign. S Some years ago, when T was foreign secretary, I was challenged at a din- ner party to say what would be the cause of the next war. It is proverb- fally unsafe to prophesy unless you know, but I ventured to hazard three guesses. One cause might be the pressure of population, and it is to be observed in passing that it is pre- | cisely in those countries where this | pressure is said to be at its greatest | that the rulers use every effort to| secure the largest increase in popu- lation. The second peril which I foresaw was in a certain type of film, coming mainly from America, and then more common than it happily is today, | SWIM for ‘which might be comparatively harm: less in countries in the aspect of whose life it was supposed to portray, but, when transferred to Africa or the East, could not fail to lower the prestige of and breed contempt for the white man. Bolshevism Poison to Nasis, My third suggestion was the ten- dency already apparent in certain countries to carry ideas, prejudices and passions of domestic politics across boundaries and to determine international relations by the stand- ard by which we determine our party allegiances at home. This tendency was then more es- pecially visible in the relations of France and Italy and has now ap- parently become a principle of the Nazi creed. Bolshevism is an ac- cursed thing. Russia is Bolshevik. ‘With it Germany could have no truce. He who is not with us is against us. A nation which can live on friendly terms with Russia must be vicious at heart. Democracy is but the ante- chamber of Bolshevism. Germany is the sole buckler in Europe against this new invasion of barbarian hordes. Whether, when bolshevism has been suppressed, the Nazi state would be much more tender to democracy is not clearly stated, but Hitler's words give room to doubt it. He does not hesitate, even when courting British opinion, to express his perfect contempt for Western democracy. But, whatever we may think of bolshevism, national socialism or fas- cism, let us make no mistake about it, they have come to stay. I think we must find & way of living in the same world with them, or we must all ‘wage war of mutual extirpation, such as the amiable Streicher preaches against the Jewish race, in which civilization itself will founder. Not Way to Approach Nation. What meaning, I ask, can we at- tach to Hitler's peaceful assurances, of the peaceful purpose of German policy, when. they appear only as ir- relevant asides in the midst of such language as this? One thing is cer- tain: It is not the way to approach a country. The main object has been to bring Germany back into the comity of nations; to forget the former enmities and to find a basis for peaceful and friendly co-operation in the future. We cannot at Hitler's bidding, as we welcome Germany back, make a pariah of Russia. Unless s way can be found to make a place for Soviet Russia in the Central European sys- tem, peace in Europe can never be secure. Would you, then, I may be asked, abandon in despair all effort to place our relations with Germany on a friendly footing amd break off ne- gotiations which have been begun with that object? That is far from my thought. There is a certain inconsistency and Z.

If I am asked whether I think Germany wants war I should reply without hesitation, “No.” I once put the same question to Lord Carnock in the pre-war days, when he was permanent undersecre- tary for foreign affairs, and he re- plied in the negafive, but added, “but I think she means to be predominant in Europe.” I believe that is once again the principal molive of Ger- many and, n main, of Hitler him- self. I would therefore, then, while continuing to seek & basis of satis- factory arrangement, make clear, &s far as we are concerned, the condi- tions upon which alone these nego- tiations could be brought to a suc- cessful conclusion. Country Longs for Peace. ‘The calamity of 1914 was brought upon the world not merely by Ger- many’s determination to be predomi- nant and give the law to Europe, but, even more, by the failure of German statesmen to appreciate the strength of the forces which might be opposed to them and the causes which would bring these forces into action. ‘This country longs for peace wearily and passionately, but is not prepared to accept a “dictated” peace any more than Hitler himself. It is not pre- pared to buy a precarious truce by the surrender of territory under Brit- ish control. It is not prepared to abandon old and tried friendships in order to sue for & new and unproved one. It is not prepared and will not consent to force its friendship with Germany en the anvil of German hos- tility to snother country and another form of government, however alien and distasteful that form of govern- ment may be to us. What is needed today in British foreign policy is, first, clear thinking, and then, plain speech, not in spite of the Nuremberg orations or incom- patible with the observance of usual international courtesy.
