. . .The right course—and it is the course which the country [Great Britain] will presently insist upon—is to segregate all German residents. There should be no ill-treatment, but they must be kept under strict surveillance. An honest man will understand the necessity, and will not complain; and it will put an end to the activities of the dishonest. One other thing must be done. The formality of naturalization in this country is very simple, and once an alien is naturalized he passes to a large extent out of the power of the police. There is reason to believe that it is a certain type of naturalized German that is most dangerous. Power should be given to cancel temporarily naturalization certificates, and where necessary to treat naturalized and alien alike. These may seem harsh measures, but war is a harsh business. When our soldiers and sailors are giving their lives for their country, it would be a scandal if we endangered their work by any supineness [inaction] at home. . . .

We were imprisoned in a dull, fl at country. . . .
