The entire picture of England was changed by a stroke of a pen, declared Dr. Gerhard Schacher. journalist and commentator, in an address here on Nov. 14. Dr. Schacher believes that by signing the Munich Pact in 1938 Neville Cham berlain surrendered the entire eastern front, the stronghold of democracy, and paved the way for Europe's present clan ger. Germany never was able. Dr. Schach er declared, recalling Bisinark's dread of an enemy at the east, to fight a two- front war. with west and east simultane ously. The World War. he insists, is proof of that- Today, with Russia as her ally to guard the east, and with her present control of French ports on the western coast. Dr. Schacher. who characterizes the late Mr. Chamberlain as an idealist with a one- track mind, bent on peace, sees, as a re sult, that Germany needs to point her guns in only one direction toward England. Dr. Schacher was in Czechoslovakia when the pact of Munich was signed. turning over to Germany the heavy Czech fortifications, lie warned the English then that appeasement meant inevitable war. but the English, he remarks, were slow to change their Prime Minister, hoping with Mr. Chamberlain that peace might be. Describing wishful-thinking as one of the greatest errors in political thought. Dr. Schacher yet insists that England has more than an even chance for victory, since Greece is proving an Achilles Heel in Axis strength. Acclaiming the English Prime Minister and the spirit of the English people. Dr. Schacher declared that there is reason for optimism so long as a man like Winston Churchill is at the head of the English movement, and counselled Americans to arm themselves with realistic knowledge against the threat of the future.
