dle Ages. ’ The murder of the German official was a crime. No 'doubt the assassin will be punished in due course by the French courts. The Leader pointed out only the other ‘day that no good purpose is served by such acts of tei'rorâ€"" ‘ism. But the Germans themselves cannot escape a share of responsibility for the crime. No race can be treated‘ like mad dogs without biting back occasionally. Indeed ‘the most notable thing about the whole reign of terror? has been the splendid self-control and discipline shown by the Jews under persecution. It contrasts most favorably with the uncurbed Violence which the Nazis have exhibited. Particularly deplorable is the fact that the incident ‘should have occurred at a time when the return of Ger- ‘man colonies is being" discussed_ How can the Germans expect to be regarded as fit guardians of a subject race ‘when they have just shown themselves utterly incapable ‘of living decently with one which already exists within their borders? The mad wave of violence against the Jews in Gerâ€" many, touched off by the murder of a German embassy official in Paris by a young Polish Jew, is an indication of the danger of feeding a people on hate. Like narcotics Hate as a steady diet is a corrosive. They demand something it turns its victims into addicts. to hate and seek some means of wrecking their hate on those against whom their fury is directed. The Nazi regime in Germany has risen to power and maintained its position largely through regaling Germans No one will deny that it with constant hymns of hate. ts to its credit. It has reâ€" has many concrete achievemen 'built the German nation. But it has built on foundations 'of hate. True it has taught that all Germans are brothâ€" ers, but has firmly limited the idea of fraternity on racial lines. This is one of the things that makes Prime Minister ment so difficult. After Chamberlain’s policy of appease ‘the Germans have been allowed to secure a bloodless vic- more than they could hope tory which gives them much or no generous gesture of to win in a bloody war there is longer possible to direct a thanksgiving. Since it is no tide of hate against the British and French national lead- on those political figures 'ers the Nazis turn their guns in opposition who feel that the Munich policy was a mis- ‘take, on the United States and the Jews. Instead of pointing out to the German people that the great maJOi'ity of the British people apparently sup- port the Chamberlain policy and wish peace and friend- ship with Germany. even at the cost of severe sacrifices, Hitler and his henchman empty the vials of hate on Chur- chill, Lloyd George, Greenwood and the others as poten- tial enemies of Germany. Nothing is more likely to make such men national heroes in Britain. If they become the rulers Hitler will be responsible. Not content with that they stir up the German peo- ple until a minor incident, such as has occurred many times in history, is allowed to detonate an explosion of savage terrorism, such as would have disgraced the Midâ€" dle Ages. _ ..

Advance reports from the workshop of Santa Claus Ithreaten changes in the type of toys that will fill this "year’s Christmas stockings. The younger generation it is said, now demands realism in its toys. Their playthings 'must be patterned after the tools, machines and employ- ‘ments of the adult world. A strange trend in toy manu- facture is multiplication of miniature farm implements. Once a small boys’ ambitions went no further than a toy ‘spade and bucket and a place to dig. Nowadays he wants ‘a tractor, a disk harrow or a mechanical gang plow. Equal- ly in the realm of realism are the chemical sets, micro- ‘scopes, printing presses and telephones designed to suit ‘a small boy’s fancy. And little girls, too, must have dolls that walk, talk and even blow bubbles. / Greatest gift for a child would be a Vivid and ingenious imagination, capable of turning the crudest toy into a joy and treasure. But imagination, it seems, has gone out of ‘fashion. Perhaps the next grown generation will be more practical, scientific and realistic because of the toys it ‘plays with today. But for the same reason it may lack its share of artists, poets and dreamers.
