THE GERMAN COLONIES
Sir,—Tour excellent leading article oiv tho abovo subject is one which moat; thinking men will agree with. But,, while all .you point out is sound, it seemei to me that the main point relative to the retention or return or control of the. German colonies is omitted. If the Allies enforce their terms on Germany, then all you say will doubtless materialise; but these things aro not likely to happen if Gormany enforces .her terms on fho Alliee, or oven if the war results in a compromise, patohed-up peace. • 1C appears to me the public is* prone to lose sight of this vital matter in/tho manydiscussions one hears these (lays on the> subject of what we ought to do to Germany. The dangers ahead of us are indetd grwvt-not least of which is the pacifist'peril; but what first and foremost has to bo done is to scotch the l'ower which has brought all this appalHng misery into the world, and waicii; still threatens our existence, livery-. thine depends on that.—l am, etc., PERCIVAL WITHEEBY.. Napier, June 22, 1918.
