Much Left
For Russio

From the English publishers a few
copies of an unusually significant book
about Germany have recently reached
this country. And not the least interest
ing aspect of The Roots of National
Socialism" as the volume is entitled. is
the fact that no American publishing
house has as yet moved to bring out an
edition on this side of the Atlantic. The
rights have been offered to several and
all seem to agree that among 10000 900
Americans there are not 5000 potential
readers who would be moved to the point
of purchase.
To one who has lately curtailed sleep
in order to study The Roots of National
Socialism, this seems extraordinary
The book is very we'll written is far more
stimulating than most current war lit
erature, contains only 300 pages and
could certainly retail for the price of
the cheapest seat at a World Series
game. Incidentally, no more damning
indictment OF Germany and the German
cause has ever been put between cloth
covers.
Finally, there can be no question of the
competence of the author. Rohan But
Ter is fellow of All Souls College at
oxford University, an appointment
which is of itself hallmark of brilliant
scholarship. He is also the son of Har-
old Butler, formerly director of the In
ternational Labor Office at Geneva, now
holding post of great responsibility as
one of the regional commissioners in
Great Britain. Rohan Butler knows the
background and development of German
thought as do few foreigners. And the
indictment of the German system con-
tanned in his book is devastating with an
almost unanswerable finality.
There must be underlying reasons why
1.-THE Roots of National Socialism is not
already best-seller in the United
States. But consideration of that should
wait on some examination of the book
itself.
At the outset of his study Mr.. Butler
truly observes that men behave in hu-

man society in accordance with their
conception of that society and of their
function in it." In the case of Ger
many. he asserts, the accomplishments
of individual Germans and of Germany
as nation have both been thoroughly
studied. But he argues that the dis
tinctive social outlook of the German
people has been given far less consid-
Grafton abroad.
This fact" he continues. "is the more
remarkable since the dominant German
outlook springs from a very bold and
imaginative corpus of thought, and one
which, almost throughout the course of
its growth during the last century and
half, has been intimately interconnected
with the politico-social development of
the nation"
So it is to the development of the
dominant German thought, from the
time of the French Revolution to the up
heaval which brought the Nazis into
power, that Mr.. Butler addresses himself.
His findings will be surprising for those
who believe that the content of 'Mein
Kampf" represents anything novel in
German thought.
With telling quotations from national
leaders in many walks of life Mr.. Butler
traces the evolution and development
of German totalitarian philosophy from
1888 down to the present day. And he
presents a formidable array of evidence
for his conclusion that National Social
ist theory is almost entirely derived from
the common elements OF traditional
German thought during the past $50
years.
1t is demonstrated. for instance, that
as far back as 1900 the philosopher
Fichte, pupil of Kent, was advocating
system of autarchy indistinguishable
Nazis under the personal direction of
Goering. In his book on Der Geschlos-
sene Handelsstaat" 1.-THE Closed Com
mercial State'D Fichte advocated
planned economy, quota systems, con-
cealed imitation, blocked currency and
the reduction of international trade to
controlled barter arrangements.
Fichte 141 Years Ahead
A few months ago Mr.. Douglas Miller,
formerly our commercial attache in Ber-
lin, pointed out that in the event of
permanent German conquest of Europe,
1--WE should not be able to negotiate
agreements with individual firms over
there. Everything would be routed
through government agency"
Exactly 141 years before the publica-
tion of You Can't Do Business With
Hitler" the Prussian government was be-
ing urged by Fchte to insure that: "All
direct traffic by the citizen with any
foreigner should be absolutely termi-
mated. Direct trade by the citizen
with any foreigner must be made i'm
possible"
AS with commercial policy, so with the
underlying economic theory. 1t is now
just century since Friedrich List, the
pioneer of German railroad develop
ment, brought out his great work on
"The National System of Political Econ
omy." Therein was set forth In detail
the theory that productive capacity Is

their iron ore; 100 per cent of their
OIL IS per cent of their manganese; 100

S. per cent of their steel; 35 per cent of
their chemical industries; so per cent of
their machinery factories % per cent
of their agricultural machinery produc-
ton and so per cent of their hydro
electric power.
While Hitler kept Mr.. Churchill and
the rest of the world wondering what
would be the next Axis move, the Nazi
air force returned to an old game
bombing England vigorously. Late Sep
tenber brought a fine harvest moon,
lighting the Luftwaffe path clearly. Tues
day night, the day before October, Brit
ain had the heaviest raid it had received
in some time.
The British said the German aerial
targets we're five northeastern towns.
The Germans named four of the towns
as Aberdeen, Newcastle, Ramsgate and
Hull A German high command COM
munique said numerous fires and heavy
explosions resulted from the air raid
on the docks and ways of Newcastle,
which is a shipbuilding center on the
east coast of England.
The British dropped bombs on Ham
burg and Stettin two nights running.
The r. A F. also made a night attack on
occupied France starting large fires at
1f ~, cI,i
yards and oil depots at Nantes. Other
British objectives in France were st.
Nazaire and an airdrome near Lorient.
Sunday night the British travelled far
by air, smashing Italy. r. A. F. planes
that cleared Mount Blanc in Southern
France by only 400 feet travelled on TO

points while other British planes bombed
four cities in Sicily, the island of Rhodes
and Italian points along the African

an Italian bombardment of a British
convoy moving through the Mediter-

The Italians said that their torpedo

cruisers, one light cruiser and three
merchantmen, possibly sinking a mer-
chantman and damaging the battleship

far more important than capital accumu-
| lation
The power of producing wealth
wrote List in 1841, is :" infinitely more
important than wealth itself" Hitler
merely parrots the argument when he
refers sarcastically to the futility of our
enormous gold stores at Fort Knox.
The greatest political accomplishment
of the Nazis is that which is implied in
this hybrid word itself-the successful
fusion of Nationalist and Socialist doc
trines into a single dynamic driving
force. But this German achievement
had been accomplished in essentials long
before the birth of Hitler and his hench-
men.
In The Roots of National Socialism" ="
Mr.. Butler applies keen analysis to the
intimacy between Bismarck and Ferdi-
nand Lassalle, the friend of Karl Marx.
who in the Cos of the last century did so
much to organize both the German trade
union movement and German socialist
theory. Lassalle's socialism, it is shown
was National Socialism and his clear
objective was dictatorship.
Marshaled Ruhr Workers
In his last great speech. on May %,
1864, Lassalle told a huge mass meeting
of Ruhr workers that: We must forge
our wills together into single hammer,
and must lay this hammer in the hands
of man in order that he may be
able to strike
These are merely random illustrations
of the wealth of evidence assembled by
Mr.. Butler to prove that the present
raging torrent of National Socialism is
fed by contributory streams with sources
deep in the German temperament and
distant in the German past A host
of other instances could be cited from
the writings of the anti-Semitic scholar
Eugen Duehring, who insisted on trans
lating the name of Disraeli as Won
Israel, to those of the more familiar
Gen. ClauseWitz, who foreshadowed the
blitzkrieg with his reiterated maxim
that: mo conquest can be completed
fast enough
To appreciate the full Importance of
THE Roots of National Socialism" one
must, of course, examine it's text. But
that text, so clearly. brilliantly and dis
paSsionately written, is available only
to the dozen or so Americans who are
fortunate in having obtained copies Of
the English edition. And apparently
American publishers, while flooding the
country with every sort of inconsequen-
tial war book, intend to continue their
tacit censorship of this really devastating
exposure of the magnitude of the Ger
man challenge.
This deprivation is both stupid and
tragic. 1t is stupid because book of
this character, scrupulously restrained,
honest and scientific, carries a propa-
ganda impact far more potent than all
the <threadbare movie and other tech
niques which have so far clearly failed
to disturb the placid course of American
political thinking
And the deprivation is tragic because,
in the absence of such evidence as Mr..
Butler started to compile long before
the war, many Americans will continue
to believe that this international conflict
is much the same AZ others.

Russia and neutrality were the two
questions foremost in President Roose-
vels's thoughts last week. Friday he dis
closed that he had instructed w. Averel
HERMAN, head of the American dele
cation to Moscow, to take up with the
Soviet government the issue of religious
freedom in that country. He indicated
also that he had submitted initial in
structions on this delicate matter TO
Laurence Steinhardt, American Ambas-
sador to the U. S. S. R., but he made it
clear that he is waiting for Mr.. Harri-
man to report precise developments.
Thus Mr.. Roosevelt has undertaken to
cope with one of the foremost objections
which Americans can raise to our policy
of assisting Russia. 1t is notoriously
anti-religiouS.
With Secretary of State Hull. who be-
came 10 years old on Thursday, the
President repeatedly discussed the prob
lem of getting Congress to modify the
Neutrality Act. presumably in order to
permit the United States to send its
ships armed into danger waters. Prime

In other words, the war still will be
fought where Hitler wants it fought.
Where is that? The Germans have not
yet adopted defensive strategy in Rus
sia They still besiege Leningrad, but
Leningrad holds out. They make no
progress in Central Russia, where great
SHOWS soon will give vacation to fight
ers. But in the next important area,
the south, where no snow will come to
interrupt them, they push on into the
Crimea in Southern Ukraine and to-
ward Kharkov, the Russian Detroit, in
Northern Ukraine.
Kharkov, a railway center, is a great
manufacturing headquarters. If the
Germans take it, the
Would Russio Russians probably will
Fioht On2 have destroyed the fac
tories there, leaving the
Germans nothing but leaving the Rus
slams without the benefit of Kharkov.
If Kharkov goes the principal industrial
worth of the Ukraine will have been lost
to the Russians. Would Russia then
have the ability to go on resisting in this
war which essentially is war made in
factories? That is the great question
the coming developments in the fighting
in Southern Russia will answer.
There is a good deal of Russian in
dustrial strength to the east of the
Ukraine area but the relation of this
strength to the war policy the Russian
government might adopt if the Russian
armies in the south are pushed back to
the Caucasus Mountains is indefnable.
Large steel plants, most of them built
in the last 10 years, are located in the
Urals scattered over a vast area from
the Polar north to the Steppes. The

works. The output of Magnitogorsk ore

One of the problems facing the jurists
is what to do about a long pending case
involving the legality of profits made by

ships constructed for the Government
during the World War.
Quorum Question Possible.
When the court agreed last october
to review the case three members an
nounced that they had disqualified
themselves from acting on it because
of some connection with it in the past.
The three were Justices Stone, Roberts
and Murphy.
This left six justices eligible to partici-
pate, which is the exact quorum required
by law. Just when the case was ready
for argument Justice McReynolds retired
last February !. So the argument was
postponed.
The person who was ready to argue
the Governments contentious that the
corporation had made "unconscionable
profits" was none other than Justice
jackson, then Attorney General. He is
expected to disqualify himself, and this
would still leave the court one shy of a
| quorum.
The suggestion has been made by one
highly placed official that Congress
might be asked to pass law to permit
a retired Supreme Court justice to aid
in deciding the case.
