“KICK IN THE FACE”
AMERICAN VIEW OF NAZI TACTICS
BOYCOTT OF LONDON BANQUET.
HINDRANCE TO APPEASEMENT EFFORTS.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. NEW YORK, December 15.
The “New York Herald Tribune,” in a grimly worded editorial entitled “Appeasement Without Peace,” says that the Germans seem genuinely surprised and hurt that anyone should have thought it rude of them to kick a Prime Minister in the face, and the Prime Minister, though labouring earnestly at the bellows, finds the flames of appeasement only flickering lower.
It seems absurd, says the paper, that the mere act of walking out of a banquet, however officially performed, should have the power to affect the fate of Europe, but it is so typical of the difficulties which the totalitarian State presents to any kind of co-opefa-tive effort or appeasement with the democracies that it probably does serve to bring one small step nearer that general holocaust which Mr Chamberlain still grimly maintains he has averted.
