Must Fight" and has for Its thesis
the idea that the Fuehrer has now
reached point where he must take
up arms. THE forces that he has
created in Germany" says Mr..
Wolfe, "are pushing him irresistibly
along the road to eventual war. The
Reich is now far more state of SOL
diers and officials than the Prussia
of Prince Won Bulow . it (war)
may have happened by the time
these words are in print, or it may
be a year or two" The reason Mr..
Wolfe gives for his conclusion is that
Hitler has led the German people to
expect further victories over the
democracies, and that, if he backs
down now, his regime will collapse
before the public disappointment. He
must fight.

The reviewer has Just finished
reading % magazine articles on the
state of international relations
Synthesized, they make a frightful
picture. 1t is of world proceeding
helplessly, but with an indubitable
precision, toward the very situation
which Is years ago, led it into war.
There can be no escaping the con-
cluSion. The most innocent and
the most cynical alike will be bound
to feel Its weight.
The reviewer herself has usually
made light of alarmist articles. She
has done so by reason OF her ex-
perience with our magazines; with
in their covers crises are apt to
occur more often than In reality.
But one single matter prevents her
now from being able to assume q
routine attitude toward the present
array of prophecies. That is the
shockingly specific manner in which
the scenes that led to the last World
War are being re-enacted.
In past months, it may be pointed
out, pessimistic authors have in the
main dealt in general, or ideologi-
cal, terms. And, since it is unthink-
able that offensive war should be
made for the sake of an theology,
1t has been possible to discount their
gloom. With one accord, however,
in the present month the writers
on international affairs have become
concrete. And, in their concrete
ness, they construct for us nothing
less than prelude to another
Sarajevo.
The true cause of war is, of course,
always the same. Ideologies have
nothing to do with it. 1t is greed
That there should be repetition in
this respect. therefore, need shock
no one. But that the same greed
In the same circumstances should
be operative in such degree as to
bring the world to war twice in a
generation-that is shocking. 1t
argues not just that we have learned
nothing from history. There would
be no innovation in that, for man.
kind has never learned from his
tory; history itself is the proof of
the assertion. No-the present sit
uation argues that we have not
learned from our own experience.
To fight any war would be bad
enough. But to fight the same one
twice is appalling.
Yet the plain verdict of % authori-
tative writers this month is that we
are about to do that very thing. Once
more. in the opinion of these OBJ
servers. a single neurotic individual
in Central Europe has sufficed to pol
son civilization. The reviewer pre-
sents the gist of their findings to
you below, commencing to your at
tention the two themes which con-
stantly recur in all the articles-the
active motivation which has been
Germany's and the passive one which
has been Great Britain's.
