The Presidency College Magazine April 1938

1938

The phenomenal rise of Italy and the defeat of Abyssinia the German annexation of Austria the virtual defeat of the Spanish Government and the victory174 PRESIDENCY COLLEGE MAGAZINE of General Franco the Japanese aggression in China the weak policy of England and of countries depending on her the disorder in France as revealed in quick changes of cabinet—all seem to point to one fact viz. [...] We have already noticed how a decline of the democratic tradition is but a phase of the decline of the contractual system as a whole which in its turn has fundamentally changed the social philosophy of life and also the relation of the individual to the society. [...] And yet one of the principal signatories to the treaty of Versailles who was probably more insistent than the rest in demanding the head of the vanquished on a charger has by a strange irony of fate turned a most severe critic of the document of which he himself was the chief author. [...] Immediately on coming to power Hitler caused a plebiscite of the German people to be taken on the desirability of continuing as a member of the League of Nations and incidentally on the legality of the Treaty of Versailles thrust upon them by the latter. [...] The only certainty with regard to the issue of that struggle is that it would be fatal to the peace and recovery of Europe." It is needless to mention the penalties meted out to Austria-Hungary Bulgaria and Turkey for the brutal punishment of Germany is in itself eloquent of the aggressive mentality of the victors.
