Of opinion-as well as freedom of

right TO work. in case one is without
means.
I'm like manner there is the
school question. The man with po-
litical rights sets up schools, and the
speech used IN the instruction is his
speech. The purpose must
be to crush the individuality of thel
conquered people and its political
and lingual existence.
The conquerors are acting only
according to biological principles if
they suppress alien languages and
undertake to destroy strange popu-
lar customs. r Only the con-
quering race must be populous, so
that it can overrun the territory it
has won. Nations that are populous
are moreover, the only nations
which have a moral claim 10 con.
quest, for it is wrong that in one
country there should be overpopula-
ton while close at hand-and at the
same time on better sofia less nu-
merous population stretches its
limbs at ease.
AS TO the inferior races:1 From
political life they are to be excluded.
They are eligible only to positions of
non-political character, to com
mercial commissions, chambers of
commerce, etc. The prin-
cipal thing for the conqueror is the
outspOken will to rule and the will
TO destroy the political and national
life of the conquered ."

The historical view as TO the bio
logical evolution of races tells that
there are dominant races and sub
ordinate races. Political history is
nothing more than the history Of
the, struggles between the dominant
races. Conquest in particular is al
ways a junction OF the dominant
races. Where now in all the
world does il stand written that
onquering races are under obliga-
tions TO grant after an interval poll
teal rights 20 the conquered Is
not the practice Of political rights
an advantage which hiologically be-
longs TO the dominant races?
What are the rights OF the masses?
In my opinion. the rights OF
men are. first. personal freedom

War Will unity the strong nation
that is capable of a future and make
it free, and Will establish the people
on a healthy su bstantial basis. Those
are the two chief purposes Of war.
A third can, however, be suggested,
that nation even when her nation
al and fundamental interests do not
coincide with those of another ma
ton, still must rudely destroy this
peoples highest interests, must in
deed remorselessly cut off from this
foreign people the means of living
for the future. 1t is a great, pow
erful nation which overturns a less
courageous and frequently degen-
crate people and takes its territory
from it, For a great, strong people
finds its house too narrow, it can
not stir and move about, cannot
work ard build up, cannot thrive
and grow. The great nation needs
new territory. Therefore it must
spread out over foreign soil, and
must displace strangers with the
power of the sword"
