from the nature Of It's populated
areas. France is such a state up to
a point. Why should We be worse
OF? Is this an unavoidable inferi-
ority? Is it necessary that in spite
of our diligence and efficiency, in
spite of our industries and our mill
tary skill, We should always remain
second to Britain, second to France,
though we are greater than both of
them together? This is why I must
gain space for Germany, space big
enough to enable us to defend our
selves against any military coalition.
In peacetime We can manage. But
in war the important thing Is free
dom Of action, for in war one Is
mortally dependent on the outside
world. Our dependence on foreign
trade without even an ocean coast
line would condemn us eternally to
the position of politically depen-
dent nation.
I'VE need space" he almost
shrieked, ito make us independent
of every possible political grouping
and alliance. In the east, we must
have the mastery as far as the Cau-
casus and Iran. In the West, we
need the French coast. We need
Flanders and Holland. Above all
we need Sweden. We must become
a colonial power. We must have a
sea power equal to that Of Britain.
The material basis for independence
grows with the increasing demands
Of technique and ornaments. We

and how I pleased. But I don't
want to. 1t would cost too much.
If I can avoid it, I will not do it.
I need Poland only so long as I am
still menaced by the west"
DO you seriously intend to fight
the west?" I asked.
He stopped and looked at me-
What else do you think we're
arming for?" he retorted.
I said thought this would surely
call forth a hostile coalition against
Germany which would be too strong
for her.
That is what I have to prevent.
We must proceed step by step, so
that no one will impede our advance.
How to do this I don't yet know.
But that it will be done is guaran-
teed by Britain's lack of firmness
and Frances internal diunity."
His Favorite Subject.
Hitler then began to talk about
his favorite subject, the paciflsm of
Britain and France. I have heard
him many times reiterate his un-
Shakable conviction that Britain
was quite incapable of waging an
other war, and that France, in spite
of her magnificent army, could, by
the provocation of internal unrest
and disunity in public opinion, cas-
lily be brought to the point where she
would only be able to use her army
too late or not at all. l objected
that we might find ourselves griev-
ously mistaken in our belief in the
impotence of Britain and France
Hitler laughed scornfully. He
would not live to see Britain again
at war with Germany.
Britain needs a strong Germany.
Britain and France will never again
make common cause against Ger
many"
DO you intend to break through
the Maginot Line" I asked, "or will
you march into Holland and Bel
GUM? If you do the latter, you will
certainly bring Britain in on the
side of France"
If they have time to come in. :"
Hitler returned. Besides, I shall
neither break through the Maginot
Line or enter Belgium. I shall
maneuver France right out of her
Maginot Line without losing single
soldier"
I must have looked skeptical, for
Hitler added triumphantly:
How to do it is my secret OF
course he continued after a pause,
Il shall do everything in my power
to prevent cooperation between
Britain and France. If I succeed in

cannot, like Bismarck, limit ourselves
to national aims. We must rule Eu-
rope or fall apart as a nation, fall
back into the chaos Of small states.
Now do you understand why I can
not be limited. either in the East
or in the West?"
I'm the center I shall place the
Steely core Of Greater Germany

Then Austria, Bohemia, and Mora
via, western Poland. A block of one
hundred million, indestructible, with
out flaw, without an alien element,
the firm foundation of our power.
Then an eastern alliance: Poland,
the Baltic states, Hungary, the Bal
kan states, the Ukraine, the Volga
basin, Georgia. An alliance, but not
OF equal partners; it will be an al
lance Of vassal states, with no army,
no separate policy, no separate econ
amy. l have no intention of making
concessions on sentimental grounds,
such as re-establishing Hungary, for
example. I make no distinction be-
tween friends and enemies. The day
OF small states is past, in the West
as well. I shall have a western
union too. of Holland, Flanders,
Northern France, and a northern
union Of Denmark, Sweden and Nor

bringing in Italy and Britain on
our side, the first part of our strug-
gle for power will be greatly facil-
itated. Anyhow. we don't for a mo-
ment pretend to believe that this
degenerate Jewish democracy has
any more vitality than France of
the United States. 1t will be my
mission to see that at least an effort
Is made to inherit this disintegrating
empire peacefully, so that conflict
can be avoided entirely. But I
shall not shrink from war with Bri-
tain II it Is necessary. Where Ma
poleon failed, I shall succeed. Today
there is no such thing as an island.
I shall land on the shores of Bri-
tain. I shall destroy her towns from
the mainland. Britain does not yet
know how vulnerable she is today"
Would Drag World Down.
But supposing Britain, France
and Russia make an alliance?"
That would be the end. But
even if we could not conquer then,
we should drag the world into de-
struction with us, and leave no one to
triumph over Germany. There will
not be another 1918. We shall not
surrender.
But that stage will never be
reached" Hitler continued, re-
straining his mounting excitement.
1T would only happen if failed in
all my undertakings. In that case
I should feel I had wrongly usurped
this place Certainly I shall never
blame accident for any mistakes I
may make. But fortune follows
where there is a firm will"
IF Germany is to become a world
power, and not merely continental
state (and it must become a world
power If 1t Is to suryive), then it
must achieve complete sovereignty
and independence" he shouted. do
you understand what that means?
Is it clear to you how tragically mu-
tilated we are by the restriction
and hemming-in of our vital space,
restriction that condemns us to the
status of a second-rate power of
Europe? Only nations living in
dependently in their own space and
capable of military defense can be
world powers. Only such nations
are sovereign in the true sense of
the word.
Russia is such a state" he went
on, the United States, Britain-but

HitIer's Foreiqn Policy


By DR.. HERMANN RAUSCHNING
Looming large in the picture in
Europe is the attitude of Hitler
toward Russia His views came out
during a discussion Of his foreign
policy back in 1884
do you plan to attack Russia
with the assistance Of Poland?" ]
asked him.
Perhaps" he returned.
Il rather thought your previous
remarks implied that" I said.
Soviet Russia, however, is a diff
ficult problem. I doubt if I shall
be able to start anything there"
I replied that perhaps Poland
might be induced to surrender
western territory against compen-
sation in the east. which should be
of considerable value to Poland
However, she would not be content
with White Russian districts alone
She would want a coastline on the
Baltic AS we'll as districts that would
give her an outlet to the Black Sea
Il think the gentlemen will have
to give up their pretensions to
Ukrainian territory" Hitler inter-
fupted me.
I replied that perhaps these con-
siderations were a little premature
as it was necessary to find out first
whether any cooperation was pos
sible at all, and if so, how far it

that Poland and Germany had a
powerful common interest in push

but I was afraid Poland had little
Outstanding of the German
Ukrainian policy. On my first visit
to Warsaw, I had been asked to use
my influence to see that Rosen-
berg's plans for a Ukraine under
the German government were drop
ped. If Poland we're to relinquish
certain interests in the west, then I
could not but believe she would lay
claim to the Ukraine herself, as
well as Lithuania. and perhaps even
Iatvia. For Polish politicians to
dream of Greater Polish En-
pire extending from the Baltic to
the Black Sea, and from Riga to
Kiev, was surely something more
than mere patriotic romancing
These were realistic hopes based
on geopolitical considerations.
Against Russian War.

might and a new Polish great
power on my frontiers" Hitler
broke in abruptly. "A war with
Russia would not be in my interest -
In that case, replied, Poland
would hardly be likely to surrender
any Of her western territory.
Then I shall force her. I have
It in my power to force her to
neutrality. 1t would be a simple
matter for me to partition Poland.
I asked Hitler what he meant.
"All our agreements with Poland
have purely, temporary signiflc-
ance. I have no intention Of main
tanning a serious friendship with
Poland. I do not need to share my
power with any one"
He paced the room in silence for
some minutes.
Il could at any time come to an
agreement with Soviet Russia" he
said at last, as he paused and faced
me. Il could partition Poland when
