To the Editor of the "NortH-CHInA DaiLy NEws."

Sir,—In her reply to Germany, I note the attitude of Great Britain, discountenancing, like France, the disregard of treaty obligations. "A treaty is a treaty, and not to ments have increased to an extent as they were unknown before August, 1914. Only biased opinion can deny Germany the right to demand fulfilment of treaty obligations by the Dictators of Versailles. If the political parties ruling Germany until the downfall of the Bruening Cabinet has carried their fulfilment craze to the extreme there is no justification for the world to expect the German people to agree to this system for ever.

The economic difficulties are also a consequence of Versailles. Germany has paid 33 milliards to date, and well, even Germany could not create prosperity under these conditions. However this should not doom the German Nation to a second class Nation. Hitler has shown us the way out, and the longer this suppression of the German Race and the disregard of their human rights last, the stronger his followers will believe in his gospel. So do not be surprised if Germany is wide awake at last, BxiuE DANUBE.
