Immediately after these contacts,
Hitler was treated to the spectacle of
Mussolini successfully imposing much
! the same social philosophy as Feders
upon unruly Italy, and all the Or
ganizers Of the then obscure German
| Workers Party were so delighted with
this example of what could be done

Ludendorff Is Not Friendly.
Gen. Won Lundendorf is now no
| friend Of the Hitlerites and they have
only recently alienated him beyond
hope of reconciliation by dissolving
his Tannenberg Bund Of Odin worship
ers. But Lunderdorffs influence upon
Hitler and his doctrines, prior to the
disastrous Beer Hall Putsch" in 1923
was great and permanent. Probably all
the apostles Of the cult were then
trading ideas: but Hitler was always
learning from his contacts, while 1t
does not appear that Lundendorff ever
learned anything from any one. Dur
ing the last year Of the World War
Ludendorff imagined himself Gf he
was not actually a master Of Ger
many's destinies, who was above and
independent Of both the Kaiser and
Hindenburg. When he had recovered
a little from the mental stupor into
which defeat and the versailles peace
threw him, he went to Munich and
! launched into his endless series OF
! impassioned and sometimes almost in
coherent apologia for the loss OF the
| war.
When Hitler met him he was in
sisting that he and the army had not
lost the war and could have fought on
indefinitely II the Jews, the Socialists
under their leadership and their liberal
dupes had not undermined the nations
will to win. These arguments are pre-
sented at great length in "Mein
Kampf," Hitler's record Of his "Strug-
gle," in Ludendorff's own phraseology.
and they were only recently voiced in
Wald monument when Hitler said, for
the benefit of the Saar, that the army
had never lost either the war or its
honor but had been betrayed by the

Women Must Bear Children.
! Any reader who now takes the
trouble to review any other Nazi doc
trtne that interests him will be able
to see for himself how its inception
is traceable to the one parent OBJ
session-that Of racial superiority, to
be established through racial unity
and regimentation. Education and
the press must be under rigid Nazi
control so that what has for years
been Hitlers monomania may become
the nations monomania. Women
must get out Of factories and Offices.
marry and have children; not only be-
cause the women of ancient Teutonia
were not stenographers. but so that
the Third Reich may have adequate
man power for its eastward drive
against the Slavs Frederick the Great
is a national hero because he ruth
lessly despoiled Poland.
Overseas colonies and foreign trade
are held In contempt for several rea-
sons. They divert German energies
from the racial mission. They scat
ter manpower and expose noble Teu-
tons to demoraliZing influences. They
divert attention from the business Of
building a self-suficient economy that
could not be crippled in time of war.
And finally. they might bring Germany
into needless conflict with Great Brit
ain. In whose fighting spirit and policies
Hitler sees the highest expression of
the Teutonic virtues, and whose alliance
he would seek before he challenges the
Slavs in the East OF the French the
Nazis take surprisingly little account:
but this Is because the French are
building up polychrome empire, have
no interest in race, draw no color line
and are therefore due to be mon
grelized and ruined.
Lands Must Go to Farmers.
Despite the veritable worship that
the Nazis pay the memory of the
Teutonic knights as the conquerers,
colonistS and defenders of what were
once the territories of the Slavs, their
descendants, the Junkers, are not to
be subsidized In the possession Of their
great bankrupt states. Those lands
must be parceled out among German
farmers whose intensive development
of them will help to make the racial
state self-suffcient They will also
take the place Of the Slavs, who now
come into East Prussia for seasonal
blood Of the purest Nordic communities
in the Fatherland.
One of the most interesting aspects
of the whole Nazi picture Is that it
appears to have for a background
false conception of the racial make
up Of the German people. In most Of
their publications the Hitlerites de-
scribe the superior race by the use Of
the absurdly unscientihc term "Aryan,"
which describes the prehistoric in
vaders of India, the languages which
they and the prehistoric invaders Of
Persia spoke and nothing else. They
give us every reason to believe. how
ever, that the human type which they
think superior is that of the old Nor
die Teutons. Since it happens that
this type is not common in Germany
outside of Oldenburg in the West and
East Prussia beyond the Polish corri-
dor. and that an overwhelming ma
jority Of the modern Germans are of
the same Alpine" type as the Poles
and Russians, one would think that
enlightenment on this point would re-
duce Hitler to confusion and bring the
whole inverted pyramid of doctrines
