Sequence of Prussian Plan.

Thus we see clearly the sequence of
the Prussian plan: To dominate Aus
tria Hungary, then to dominate the
Balkan peninsula. then to dominate
Turkey, then to dominate the world.
And the Keystone of the arch Is Aus
tria-Hungary.
The world can be made safe from the
Prussian piratical attack only. first of
all, by military victory so complete
that German militarism is definitely
overthrown: in the second place. by
adequate securities against another
such wanton breaking of the worlds
peace.
How can this insurmountable bar be
put across the path of the German IN
vasion of the east?
In either of two ways. Should the
dual empire give freedom to Its Slav
subjects and become a federation OF
of four-German. Magyar. North slav
(Bohemian-Slovak), and South Slay
(Serbo-Croat)-there would be no dif-
ficulty- Justice would reign in place OF
jority in the empire would be ample
security to the world against a pam
German onslaught on the east. France
and Great Britain would be a sufficient
bulwark on the west.
II this reorganization is refused, then
the only alternative for the safety of
the world will be found in a disruption
of the ramshackle Austro-Hungarian
empire of oppression. The Poles of
Galicia should go to a free Poland, not
a German-ruled Poland, but an inde-
pendent Poland. The Bohemians, with
their fellow Czechs in Moravia and ST.
lesia. should be restored to their old
freedom. The south Slavs should go
where they belong, to greater Serbia.
The Rumanian Latins of Transylvania
should go to their own kin of Ruma-
mia. and the Italian Latins to Italy.
These free and strong states will be
rescued from Austrian tyranny and
will put an impossible barrier between
Prussianized Germany and Constanti-
Aople.

Now comes in the German kaiser. In
order to secure control from Hamburg
to Bagdad, which is absolutely essential
to the plan of German world dominion,
there must be complete German ascen-
dancy in the Balkan peninsula. Deepen
dency of Bulgaria under a German king:
dependency of Greece under a king ruled
by his queen. the kaiser's ulster; Serbia
crushed and made a dependency by
conquest would secure this object. The
crushing Of Serbia was the keystone OF
the arch.
But German control of the Balkan
lands could not be effected without alb
solute German control of Austria-Hun-
gary. The alliance which has now pre-
vailed for so many years is not enough.
The bonds must be drawn far closer,
and in such way as to make Germany
really the controlling force; to make
German will law throughout Austria-
Hungary. A confederation Of the two
empires in a customs union is the nrst
step to be devised. This was5the well
known device by which Prussia paved
the way for political spremacy in north
Germany Then these economic ties
would soon be supplemented by others.
which would in fact make the duai
monarchy, though under the guise OF
an alliance, little more than a satrapy
of Prussia. The war has brought the
two powers a long way on this path,
the Austrian armies being under Ger
man command and Austrian policies be-
ing determined now in Berlin. This is
the Mittel Europa of the pan-German
schemes, to which reference has peen
made above.
