To the Editor of the "Norru-Cuina Dancy News"
SmI am occasionally surprised at some of the letters which vou allow to appear in your corresyond-"ence columns, but that appearing "his morning over the signature Brenner Pass is either a piece of immence, or an example of charac-eristic naivete. The picture of the "Teutonic ewe lamb surrounded by. "five or six Powers with all their vison gases, warships, planes, death ray. apparatuses, ete," to prevent a lown-trodden, country like Germany from obtaining justice and {teedom should move the stoniest, most hypocritical crocodile to tears.
It is indeed a wicked world, sir, one which fails to realize that the ambitions. of Herr Hitler are only, for its good, and that when Germany had really achieved the place in the "sun which she so devoutly seeks, the of the world will have all the fits of the shade. Don't people realize that? Can't they understand the inestimable. benefits which German technique is conferring upon General Franco in the most artistic slaughter that has been perpetrated in Spain during the last two years? Are they so stubborn as to refuse to believe that a German dominated world would be the nearest terrestrial approach, to paradise?
Of course, it is true that Germany has mobilized a million-and-a-half men, but that is merely to give them a summer holiday in the open air. You know, the "strength through joy' movement, and the fact that they are fully <equipped with all the material of war is only against the possibility of meeting some dangerous animal while on the march. Herr Hitler is not using that mobilization for the purpose of interfering in the Czechoslovakian. dispute. On nol He is \mergly wagging an admonitory finger at the Hottentots for not migrating to Lapland,—or something.

Leaders at Fault To the Editor of the yDlegz#-Cuina Dany News"
Sin,—In Today's issue of your paper there appears B-chort letter entitled tracted my notice Ba ala which I "Why?" by Brenker Pass which at-
wish to write a 10% lines.
With all due to the writer I wish to fake the tipuble of pointing out to him the absurdness in his Pas a member. of the international community of Shanghai I have heard a considerable amount of talk about Germany in local circles and hasten to assure Brenner' Pass that the Powers with their gases, warships etc, are showing their might in order to impress—not the German people, but the leaders which have dragged them into the mire of public disrespect, He calls these leaders "civilized"—leaders whose motto is "Blood and Aron".
He calls Germany a down-trodden country. Does he think of the downtrodden minorities in Germany itself? "Do unto others as you would that they should do unto vou, Did Byenner Pass think of this when he wrote of Germany as a down-trodden civilized country.
That is why Germany is feared so much—because her leaders have been allowed to replace "Love thy neigh-hour as thyself" with a motto which is the opposite of everything tending towards love, peace and goodwill on earth, Does Brennen Pass want the tyrant nical six Powers with their warships, gas, etc, to stand by, and let these men precipitate another bloody war in Europe?
I feel sure mat many will agree with me that the Powers have been patient enough, and that far from being tyrannical in 30 surrounding Germany at the present time they are the "civilized" party and are doing so for the peace and good, not only of the rest of mankind, but for that of the German people.
