"It cannot be denied the ¢onstant irresponsible and corpus criticism of Germany may easily manceuvre Britain into a posi tion from which neither the papers nor their readers can be rescued." -sThe "Daily Mail" then points out that Britain cannot afford to embitter great nations by permanent irresponsible criticism and that peace can only be secured by an understanding between Germany and Britain. which could hardly be realized as Jong as certain sections of the 3: press continue their anti-German harangues.—Tyans-Ocean.
