to be passed upon me by history will
not, thank God, be written by these
miserable scribblers, but is estab-
lished by my life's work, and because
I do not care very much about any
judgment that may be passed upon
me by these people at the time.
My prestige is sufficient. for me
to allow myself such an attitude, be-
cause the question of whether my
following thoughts are actually die
tated by fear or desperation will in
any case be settled by the future
course Of events. Today I can only
regret that those people, whose
bloodthirstiness cannot have enough
OF war, unfortunately are not where
the war is actually being fought. and
never were at such places where
people were shooting it out.
I can very we'll understand that
there are interested parties, who
profit more from war than from
peace, and I also understand that
for a certain variety of international
Journalist it is more interesting to
report on war than on peaceful ac-
tivitieS or cultural achievements,
which they are incapable of either
judging or understanding And
finally, it is clear to me that there
is certain Jewish international
capitalism and journalism that has
no feeling at all in common with the
people whose interests they pretend
to represent, but who, like He
rostrates of old, regard incendiarism
as the greatest success of their lives.
But there is still another reason
why feel obliged to voice my opin-
ion.
When reading certain interna-
tional press publications, or listen
ing to speeches of various capitalist
gloriflerS of war, consider myself
entitled to speak and reply in the
name OF those who are forced to
serve as the living substance for the
mental activities of these formula
tors of war aims, that living sub
stance to which I myself belonged
as an unknown soldier for more than
four years during the Great War.
1t is perhaps a magnificent effect
when a statesman or a Journalist
stands up and in enthusiastic words
announces the necessity of removing
the regime of another country in the
name of democracy or something
similar. Practical execution of these

Writings Have No Bearing
On Real Nature of Struggle.
Newspaper articles are being writ
ten today which are sure of an en-
thusiastic reception by the distin-
guished public. Realization of de-
mands therein contained, however,
is apt to arouse much less en-
thusiasm. I shall not deal with
the powers of judgment or the gifts
OF such people. Whatever they may
write has no bearing on the real
nature OF such a struggle.
These scribblers announced before
the Polish campaign that German
infantry perhaps was not bad, but
that tanks and mechanical units in
general were inferior and would be
sure to break down in action.
Now, after the defeat of Poland,
the same people brazenly assert that
the Polish armies have collapsed
only because of German tank forma-
tions and other mechanical troops,
but that, on the other hand, German
infantry had deteriorated most re-
markably and had got the worst of
1t in every clash with the Polish.
In this fact''-so one such writer
actually says-"one has the free
right to see a favorable symptom
for the course of the war in the
west, and the French soldier will
know how to take advantage of
this" think so, too, provided he
