Truths Pondered While
Riding At Anchor
MIR. MODESTUS
. STUDY HITLER
. UNSKILLED WORKER
. SOFTER RACES
. JEW IN HIS LIFE?
. RIDDLE OF THE AGES

Now, we must study Hitler
Also "Mein Kampf": The Man and
his Book
Beginning as autobiography, it goes
into social psychology
Rebuffed in his artistic aims, Hitler
aimed at architecture
Refusing regular courses of study,
he wound up as a construction labor
Refusing to join the union, he quit,
to avoid being thrown from scaffold-
After which, he doubted whether
union members were "human beings"-
But later on, he praises "highest
merit of union movement"
X X X
An unskilled worker
Hitler regarded himself as one of
the "better ones"-
Who Sacrifice" themselves for the
masses
May have had ideas as to some
mysterious higher "connection"-
Yelled in the uncertainties of his
parentage-
Certainly regards himself as some
sort of German Messiah
X X X
This labor union experience began
Hitler's contact with German masses
He says they "are not receptive to
half measures
That they Glove the ruler rather
than the suppliant" p
care more satisfied by doctrine
which tolerates no rival'-
Rather than by "a grant of liberal
freedom
Within two years, he understood
the Infamous mental terror
Which he saw as the organization
technique of the unions
"The Importance Of physical terror
against individual and Masses
Became clear" to him, as method
of German social control
Because majorities are incapable of
continuous thought
Swayed by ideas pumped into thei,
brains by press and speeches.
Therefore control by force, by prop
uganda, is essential
X X X
But the same stupid Germans, are
superior to other "softer races
He deplores their degradation, by
pacifist teachings
Berates internationalism of politi.
cal tendencies
States frankly that the German
army is the real German people
Hates Austrian ruling family fol
trying to fuse II races
Believed Emperor willing to sacri
flee Germans to mixed races
Ends by leaving Austria, going te
Munich in German Reich
Where he hates Social Democrats
Jews, bourgeoisie-
Sees only ruin for the German
Reich
Because Wilhelm II is not openly
planning military conquest
Joefully volunteers when Worlt
War | breaks out, at last
x X X
There must have been Jew, in hi:
first labor union contact
From that hour his hatred for Jew:
rises and expands
To him, Jews control unions, the So
cial Democratic Party
Jews control newspapers, owl
| L
England is under control of hatet
Jews
Enemy especially of German man
kind, is this tricky, vicious penetrating
race
Their blood is "unclean"; they tain
all they touch
They promote prostitution; are t.
blame for syphilis
They cannot be "heroes," like Ger
mans; they must be eradicated-
Hitler's ideals appeal to the German
people
Force, terror, brutality, physica
power to the limit
These make up his program, hi
philosophy, his method and goal
To this the German race has re
sponded, assented, erupted-
This is the speech which German
understood
And only when they hear this wor
of force
Will the German people listen, an
obey.
x X X
This is the riddle Of this age:
Can democracy be as ruthless as tn
Prussian?
Unless democratic peoples can cor
centrate their powers
Unless they then can be hard, a
brutal as the Huns
Civilization must start all owe
again.
