A German people in undisputed
mastery not alone of Europe but
also of the entire world: a race re.
cognized by all others as superior
and ordained by right of birth to
rule with an iron hand and to rape,
rob and despoil by brute force as is
now being done in every conquered
country.
A German Volk with an aristo-
crazy of its own, a Herren class of
Hitlers, Goerings and Goebbels,
chosen to govern lesser Germans
and the rest of us who are even
lower down in the human scale: a
world held in bondage by German
might: a world of sweat-shop nations
toiling for their keep.
A German people exercising the
sole and exclusive right to bear arms
and build engines of war: the rest
of mankind ~eternally disarmed, dis
%franchised and doomed to economic
slavery.
A German world in which only
the ruling class will enjoy free access
to culture, literacy and education. a
class which will bestow upon all
other peoples-ours among the mum.
berthe blessings of i~lliteracy and
the priceless privilege of serfdom.
There's more to it but this IS tine
general shape of the apochryrEaI
vision that came to Adolf Hitler as
he sat in solitude reading the stars
and gnawing a carrot.
The effrontery, the conceit, the in.
credible gall of it is astounding. That
such a plan could be adopted and
made holy by his 80 million followers
indicates the inflated egotism, the
preposterous vanity, the ruthless
ness and vainglory of the German
people.
1t is easier for us to understand
the drab doctrine of communism
than to grasp the full measure of
this fantastic Teuton dream. Stain

Hitler Turns To Egypt

With the probability of a Nazi attempt to
observers believe that the Axis powers in Eu.
rope will now concentrate on the Battle of
Egypt in the hope of finally driving Britain
from the Mediterranean area.
This view is supported by dispatches in
which it is limited that the German military
command has taken over in Italy, rushed
Nazi reinforcements to that country to be
used in the Mediterranean campaign, and will
direct all offensive o p e a o n S henceforth
against British African bases.
Having failed in the first phase of his cam
paign against England and with a winter of
terrific suffering ahead for the people of all
conquered countries as we'll as in Germany
itself, it is altogether probable that some such
effort will be made by Hitler. If he could
cut the Suez canal, gain control of the Med
iterranean lifeline of Britain, he would gain
not only a strategic advantage but the ef-
feet of a defeat there would seriously affect
the morale of the British people at home
And the morale of Britain has been an i'm.
portant factor in Hitler's failure thus far to
win the Battle of England.
The undertaking, however, is not without
its hazards for Hitler, and they are serious
hazards indeed. To send endorsements to
the Italians, he must reduce his forces along
the British channel and the North sea. ANY
material reduction in his offensive forces there
inevitably would be to Britain's advantage and
might result in the British gaining a foothold
on the continent for her own land offensive,
which it is generally believed, she plans for
next spring. The launching of a major cam

Royal Air Force has already imposed heavv
punishment there, destroying great stores Of
munitions and supplies, as well as Gripping

merely wishes to have us share with
them in the general equality of

AS to Fascism, it now appears to
be merely an Italian translation of
the Nazl creed but it is no less
bloody and intolerant. Listen to a
quotation from Popolo d'Italia, Of

men,"
Now that it becomes plain how
civilization is to be administered by
the dictators and we realize how far
they propose to so in making us
really happy, it's almost a waste of
time to ask what the democratic idea
stands for.
Ours isn't a perfect political and
social system, nevertheless it is the
best one yet devised. 1t has flaws
and weaknesses, to be sure, but they
are nothing as compared with the
appalling injustices, the monstrous
cruelties of that tyranny proposed
by the mailman of Berlin and his
anthropoid ally. If you like that sort

democratic way of life means to US, either as indi-

difficult to get a complete picture of the new order
which the dictators propose to substitute for it.
1t has been hard for us to make sense out of the
meaningless generaities broadcast by the German
spellbinders or from the hysterical shriekings of the
Nazi oracle-in-chief himself but now it is all made
