SCt tldI tiC utII1dH SeltlSHltntS may be the entering wedg in South America which is to overturn the Pan-American air castles, and the American consuls, especially the American envoy in Rio Janeiro, Colonel Page Bryan, follow jealous ly the progress of German coloni- zation and investment. Their fears are our hopes and these are the stronger because we have the pop ulation to dispose of and the United States has not. The question whether the German element there will turn to Germany or to the United States will be determined in few years, and it will depend upon the position which Germany takes in fostering church and school *."
 (Otto Hotsch in Alldeutsche Blat- ter, Aug. Is, 1902. The writer in- sists, as do many Germans, that the South Americans, as a mixed race, are incapable of taking care of themselves, and that another power must step in. They believe that it will be Germany or America.) Bargains by Immigration.
 "A far-seeing policy is required, ruthlessly applying all the resources of its power in concluding treaties with foreign states, which are eag- CT to receive our emigrants, and so would in the end accept the condi- tions accounted necessary by our government The Argentine and Brazilian republics, and in a great CT or less degree all these needy republics of South America, would accept advice and listen to reason, voluntarily or under coercion"
 (Friedrich Lange, Reines Deut- schtum, 1904, D. 2O8.; A. D. 35.)
 Not only North America but the whole of America must become a bulwark of Germanic Kultur, per haps the strongest fortress of the Germanic races. That is every ones hope who has freed himself from his own European pjride and who places the race feeling above his love for home. Also South America must and can easily be- come a habitation for German or Germanoid races.
 "The lands will be settled upon by people of Germanic blood the non-Germanic inhabitants being driven into reservations or at best to Africa Morocco, Algiers, Tunis, Egypt.)
 "A free South America for those of Germanic blood, that too is a sublime end, which will be at tained by war, not perhaps by the conquest of the land by North American or by European troops, but through the colonizing efforts and self-assertion of the South American Germans.
 (klaus Wagner, Krieg, 1906, pp 165-166)
 Germany takes under her pro- lection the republic of Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay, the southern third of Bolivia, as much as belongs to the basin of the Rio de La Plata and the southern part of Brizil, where Germans predom- mate.
 German South America will pro- cure for us in the temperate zone a territory for coloniz ation where our emigrants will be able to set tie as agriculturists Chile and Ar gentina will keep their language and autonomy, but we should in sist upon the eaching of German in the schools as a second lang uage. Southern Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay are the countries for German culture. German should there be the national language.
 Tannenberg, Cross-Deutschl die Arbeit des 2Oten Jahrhunderts, pp. 250, 265-266)
 Supermen Too Modest.
 "The German settlemente in South Brazil and Uruguay are the only ray of light in this dismal pie ture of South American civiliza- tion. Here dwell 5O0,OOO Germans, and it is to be hoped that in a re- organization of South American conditions after the peoples of Latin and Indian mixture are quite ruin ed by bad management the immense plains of the Platte, with the coast in the west, the east and the south, will fall into the hands of the German people. It. is truly a miracle that the German people did not long ago resolve on seizing the country. Think of half a million Germans in a temperate climate in country of 10,5000,000 square miles; that is to say, nine times the size of Germany. All that is enough of itself. False modesty has no place in a struggle for world empire.
 (And he proceeds to argue that England would not have been so falsely modest.)
