And it is the disposition of the Berlin problenf that will show how well the lesson of Munich was learned, r Hitler policy of aggression was made plain long before Munich, ife outlined It in MMein Kempf and the German arm aments program and military emphasis pointed! to war. In 1937 he told his generals that Austria and Czechoslovakia were first on the list. At the same time, Sir Stafford Cripps in England was telling British workers to stop making munitions. But when the nazi minority in Czechoslovakia began to demand a tie-up with Gemany, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain saw that European -peace was being threatened. Czechoslovakia had a treaty of military! alliance with France and France had similar agreements with Russia.

And that, says Trevor-Roper is Munich's lesson for us: "We must be warned by Chamberlain's example. In world politics there are no short cuts, no personal triumphs; problems must be understood, not simplified, and mystical; faith Is no sub stitute for calculating reasoning. Above all, it Is certain that an aggressor can never be appeased. Appeasement has never suc ceeded in history . . From the debris of (Chamberlain's) disaster we may extract some comfort only if we can be sure that Munich was the final end of appeasement.7 tlon. i Mrs. C. E.
