the San Francisco Examiner.

----------
To the Editor
San Francisco Examiner
Chris Matthews' review of my new work, A Republic, Not An Empire, proves
again that there are some books that simply should not be given to
children.
My argument that it was a mistake for Britain to give a "war guarantee" to
Poland in the spring of 1939 is based on history. Not only did the
guarantee fail to save Poland, it led to total disaster for Poland and to
a Nazi invasion and occupation of Western Europe.
What happened when Poland relying on its British guarantee, defied Hitler
in 1939? Hitler attacked from the west, Stalin from the east. Poland was
raped and crucified, while Britain and France sat behind the Maginot line.
The Nazis then set up the camps like Auschwitz, as Stalin proceeded to
murder the entire leadership of Poland at places like Katyn. Under Nazi
rule five years, Poland was then abandoned by Churchill and FDR at Teheran
and Yalta, and left under Stalinist rule for forty-five years. By one
estimate, six million of Poland's people, including its entire Jewish
population, perished in the war.
How then did Britain's war guarantee save Poland?
As for Britain and France, their declarations of war on Hitler in 1939
caused him to turn West and attack the democracies first, before setting
out on his long-planned road to Moscow. Norway, Denmark, Belgium,
Holland, Luxembourg, and France were thus overrun, and their Jewish
populations locked in, to await the trains.
As I write on page 266, "Had Britain and France not given the war
guarantee to Poland, there might have been no Dunkirk, no blitz, no Vichy,
no destruction of the Jewish population of Norway, Denmark, Holland,
Belgium, Luxembourg, France or even Italy."
An alternative Allied strategy-advocated then and since by British and
American historians, scholars, and statesmen-might have kept Britain and
France out of the first stage of the European war, saved all of Western
Europe's Jewish population, and enabled Britain and France to decide when
and where to strike Hitler.
But to urge the heroic Polish people to rely on a war guarantee that
Britain and France had neither the will nor power to honor was not only
"demented," as Lloyd George said, it was immoral.
Oh, yes. Observing Mr. Matthews on his CNBC show last night, discussing
my book, I am afraid you are going to have to put him back on the Ritalin.
