AVOIDING WAR.
•rIt should never be forgotten that after four and a quai'ter years of war, Britain, Franee, Italy, Bussia ank Japan, aided by the United States, only just managed to seeure a victory over the military might of Germany," writes Viscount Eothermere in the Daily Mail. ' 'To-day, after four and a quarter years of intensive Nazi preparation, the German nation is relatively a far more powerful potential adversary than she vas in 1914. "This situation imposes two imperative duties upon the British Government. The first is to develop our own defensive capacity to tho • utmost. The other is to diminish- the possible grounds of future waT. "By obstinately holding on to former German colonies which have not become British colonies and have comparatively small value for us, but which Germans believe would be very valuable to them, we are keeping alive in Germany a sense of wrong which will assuredly one day develop into active hostility. "For the removal of such a risk the transfer of a few hundred thonsand square miles of African territory would be a " small price to pay."
