“THE HISS OF THE WORLD”
ANNEXATIONS BY HITLER. By the annexation of Bohemia and Moravia Herr Hitler has gained much, but he has lost far more, asserts Viscount Samuel, writing in the “Sunday Times.” In the short run he gains territory, subjects, munitions, gold, industries, armaments works; strategically he is able to put fresh pressure on Poland, Rumania, Hungary. But in the long run he has become, what Dr Johnson called, “a man having the hiss of the world against him.” He has aroused the intense alarm of all his neighbours. “He who makes many afraid of him has himself many to fear.” He has brought the United States closer in spirit, and possibly in action, to the Powers defending world peace. He has shown clearly to the peoples of the British Dominions and of India that the issue is not one of supporting Great Britain only, but of defending the liberties of mankind. He has, with Signor Mussolini, consolidated France, and he has unified Britain.
