MISPLACED SYMPATHY.
Referring to Dr. Lyttelton’s ill-advised advocacy of kindness to Germany, which brought forth such a storm of protest, the Christchurch .Press says; Englishmen cannot be greatly moved by the prospect that G 0.000.000 Germans will hate them harder than ever and regard Germany’s defeat as another proof of England’s villainy. We do not relax our criminal laws just because violent and wicked criminals will hate the police and society and the judges very bitterly; we do not care what the criminals think. Christian charity does not mean the weak forgivingness that would give np the future to domination by the wicked. |! : England carried out tbe foolish police of “trust” in Germany which the Headmaster of Eton recommends, she would only lay the foundations for a more tuarl'nl war than the present one. Perhaps by now Dr. Lyttelton has himself realised that Germany is hardly a fit object for trust or for anything but stern and complete punishment.
