Dr John H Finley reports on Europe and the need for unity
Dr John H Finley of the New York Times returns from Europe with a hopeful view of three generalizations about the continent. He notes the peasant as the world’s backbone, Europe needing the United States of Europe, and England’s ongoing resilience despite difficulties. He cites industry from Cologne to Hanover, calls Berlin depressing, and sees little sign of repentance in Munich. Finley argues new republics like Lithuania and Estonia may become part of a broader federation, urges economic cooperation and education to erase long standing hatreds, and concludes Europe must readjust its mental attitude before lasting peace can come.
