To the Editor of the "Norra-Curna Datry News."
Sir,—Will you give me the opportunity to join the ''peevish shouters" referred to in your leader to-day, who support our Prime Minister's declaration on Silesia whole-heartedly? It is quite true that the utmost sympathy should be given to France. What hag been given may be measured by the 600,- 000 British dead in her borders. And the result has been the restoration of rich provinces that seemed seven years ago to be for ever lost. The best aid that Britain now can render must be in the building up of peace. For in no other way can the economic life of France be revived, which is her desperate need.
Her feelings and fears are natur-jai enough, but real friendship will consult her true interests instead, which can never be clearly perceived in the stress of feelings.
