rehearsals of the present war. |
brought home the conviction that
the next war would be fought on
wheels, not legs, wherever there was
movement outside the vast fortified
lines. The need for sheer physical
prowess in the soldier had diminished;
the call was increasingly for intelli-
gence and technical skill.
The swift subjugation of Poland
confirmed that opinion. There were
Polish soldiers who fought and died
without even once seeing their enemy.
War has probably been speeded up
more since 1918 than in all the his
tory of armed combat up to 1914.
A middle-aged man may not be able
to walk as fast or as far as boy OF
twenty; but he can assuredly ride
as fast in a motor transport. In cast
ing about for peacetime parallel,
thought of the railroads. Mature men,
in their fifties and sixties. pilot our
crack railway trains. Railroad work
is hard, exacting, and calls for highly
skilled experts Yet the roads employ
far more middle-aged and older men
than youths.
The report of the United States
Railway Retirement Board for 1887
shows, for example, that of 68,452
locomotive engineers, 82.6 per cent
were more than forty-five years old.
That age is the upper limit of the
present draft act
When the present army-age cate
gories were fixed, the life expectancy
Of a newborn male was about thirty
five years. Now it is above sixty.

has the edge on strength. At grueling
tasks, this age period performs with
the highest efficiency. But for sus-
tanned effort in moderate work, there
is virtually no difference between this
age group and men up to fifty.
2. Manual mobility is not signifi-
cantly impaired in the age groups

3. Reaction time is moderately
increased in the upper age brackets.
But except in very fine work, this
would not be an important factor.

thirty-years bracket.

In short. the medical record shows
no good reason why, in a national
emergency, healthy oldsters should
not be drafted along with healthy
youngsters.
Some, subscribing to the maxim
"Old men for counsel, young men for
war" may oppose any idea of change.
Professional soldiers. usually tradi-
tion-bound, may be slow to relinquish
the dogma, in effect since 1892. that
a citizen is exempt from service after
forty-fve. Congress, too, being made
up of middle-aged men. may show no
eagerness to reorganize man-power
provisions for the next national army.
And some veterans of the World War
II many of them over forty-five now
who have said, The next time
they'll have to send the wagon for
me-" may resent change that would
make them eligible for second war.
But the majority of "gaffers" will
be happy to do their bit. l know many
middle-aged men who feel that way,
including World War veterans.
In the preparation of draft laws,
the first consideration must always be
military one. Victory or defeat on
the field of battle may, in the first
analysis, determine whether America,
as we know it, is to survive. But vic
tory on the field of battle alone is not
enough. And if we again rely on youth
to bear the brunt, the disaster will be
greater than any we could fight to
avert.
For in the long years after war is
over and won, the nations strength
will not be measured solely by the
successes it has won on the field. No
nation can consider itself truly VIC
torious if its military victory has been
achieved at the cost of squandering
the youth upon which it must rely
for greatness in the future.

that that's all obsolete? German
Christians, German Church, Chris
tians freed from Rome-old stuff!
I know perfectly well what is COM
ing, and we shall take care Of it
all In good time. Without 4 religion
OF Its own, the German people has
no permanence. What this religion
will be We do not yet know. We
feel 1t, but that Is not enough"
NO" he replied to a question,
these professors and mystery men
who want to found Nordic religions
merely get in my way. Why do I
tolerate them? Because they help
to disintegrate, which is all We can
DO at the moment. They cause un-
| rest. And unrest is creative. 1t
has no value in itself, but let it run
It's course. They do their share, and
the priests do theirs. We shall COM
pei them to destroy their religions
from within by setting aside all au-
thority and reducing everything to
pale, meaningless talk. Shall we
succeed? Certainly and irresistibly."
Bismarck Was A Fool.
I'm Catholic. Certainly that
was fated from the beginning, for
only Catholic knows the weak
ness OF the church. I know how to
deal with these gentry. Bismarck
was fool. In other words, he was
a Protestant. Protestants don't know
what a church is. In these things
you must be able to feel and think
with the people, know what they
want and what they dislike. Bis
marck stuck to his legal clauses and
his Prussian sergeant-majorS. That
was not enough. And least of all
shall I institute cultural struggle.
That was a blunder. Naturally the
monks were anxious to shine before
their poor little woman with the
martyrs crown. But I shall know
how to deal with them, can
guarantee that.
The Catholic church is q really
big thing. Why what an organiza-
tion! It's something to have lasted
two thousand years! We must learn
from 1t. Astuteness and knowledge
OF human nature are behind it.
Catholic priests know where the
shoe pinches. But their day is done,
and they know it. They are far too
Intelligent not to see that, and to
enter upon a hopeless battle. But
II they do, shall certainly not make
martyrs of them. We shall brand
them as ordinary criminals. I shall
tear the mask of honesn from their
faces. And If that is ~ enough, I
shall make them appear ridiculous
and contemplate. I shall order
1tms to be made about them. We
shall show the history Of the monks
on the cinema. Let the whole mass
OF nonsense. seldshness, repression
and deceit be revealed; how they
drained the money out Of the
country, how they haegled with the
Jews for the world. We shall make
1t 50 thrilling that every one will
want to see it. There will be
queues outside the cinemas. And If
the pious burghers find their hair
rising on their heads in horror,
so much the better. The young peo-
pie and the masses. I can do with

THE Protestants haven't tht
faintest conception Of a church,
I heard Hitler saying. "You can dc
anything you like to them-they will
submit. They're used to cares and
worries. They learned them from
their squires. The parsons, wher
they were invited to the Sunday
roast goose, had their place at the
foot Of the table, among the chill
dren and tutors. 1t was even ar
honor that they were not asked tc
sit at the servants table. They are
insignificant little people, submissive
as dogs, and they sweat with embar-
rassment when you talk to them
They have neither a religion thai
they can take seriously nor a great
position to defend like Rome"
In describing how the Christian
church was to be eliminated Hitler
said:
1T will not be done in the old way,
running riot in colorful costumes
and dreaming Of q departed, roman
tic age. The peasant will be told
what the church has destroyed for
him: the whole of the secret know
ledge Of nature, of the divine, the
shapeless, the demonic. The peas
ant shall learn to hate the church
on that basis. Gradually he will be
taught by what wiles the soul of
the German has been raped. We
shall wash of the Christian veneer
and bring out religion peculiar to
our race. And this is where we must
begin. Not in the great cities, Goeb-
bells! There we shall only lose our
selves IN the stupid godlessness
propaganda of the Marxists; free
sex In nature and that sort of bad
taste. The urban masses are empty.
Where all is extinguished, nothing
can be aroused But our peasantry
still lives in heathen beliefs and
values.
