TOPICS OF THE DAY
Bismarck and Hitler “There is striking resemblance between the attitudes adopted by British statesmen to Bismarck and those which are being adopted now. Bismarck's own past contributed to the distrust with which he was viewed, so that even when he meant peace he could not safely be believed. It may be said that Herr Hitler is in the same position. Efforts have been made, and are still being made, to discover a basis for establishing normal relations with Germany and Italy. Mr Chamberlain has his peace declaration, M. Bonnet has Herr Ribbentrop's signature to a similar document, and Mr Chamberlain has also the Rome Treaty; but- of a true settlement there is not yet a promising sign. In shaping a policy of reconciliation, statesmen cannot move much ahead of public opinion, and Herr Hitler’s ill-treatment of the Jews has released a store of public indignation which makes progress toward better relations almost impossible for the present.”—The Scotsman.
