PERSECUTION MANIA

He gets the feeling of being
prosecuted. he suffers from perse-
cution mania. That indeed came
TO the surface in his anti-semitism,
and il developed also along other
lines, for example, in his hostility
10 bolshevism, freemasonry and
what he considered to be secret
societies.
He was suspicious because he
was self-centered and ION the de-
fensive. and his paranoid tendency
was increased by the conditions Of
his life in Vienna.
Hitler is also hysterical, and the
combination of these two charac-
teristics, the paranoid and the
hysterical, is rather striking, and
explains why at times he seems
10 be almost dual personality.
Other evidence of Hitler's hys-
terical tendency was given to me
by Neville Chamberlain when he
saw me in his room in the House
OF Commons on Feb. ID. 1889.
Some months after his visits TO
Berchtesgaden. Godesberg. an d
Munich, and talked to me for an
hour of his experience.

II he had been schizophrenic
he would have broken down
long ago. Schizophrenia means
IA splitting of the mind or per-
sonalty TO a pronounced de-
gree and in a special way, and
first reveals itself at the time
of adolescence or shortly after
wards.
But he is paranoid, In the sense
that he suffers from the repression
or inadequate control of intense
aggressiveness, associated with a
warped and even deluded attitude
towards certain classes OF people
in his environment.
His aggressivencSS has not ade-
quate scope. and is painful TO him,
and so he projects II upon the
people around him and considers
that they are aggressive towards
himself.

I tontiOn 10 something else, on
which his views were perhaps in
contradiction 10 what had just
gone before. and again he would
/ be oblivious TO all besides.
1 Hitler is no philosopher, he has
no conception of what truth really
is.
WITHOUT PHILOSOPHY
If one could press him in argu-
ment one would probably find
him to be a pragmatist: and ]
may recall 10 YOU the French
mans definition of pragmatism as
not a philosophy but a way OF
trying 10 do without philosophy
Hitler uses ideas, just as he
uses any other psychological
phenomena. as means TO an end.
the end being power, power for
himself and power for Germany,
with which he Identifies himself.
Although the rest of the world
had moved on in thought 10 a
higher plane of civilization, Hitler
would have none of il. He had
become a complete opportunlst IN
political affairs and a cynic as
regards human nature, apart from
a superficial sentimentality and a
romantic overestimation OF the
German race and character.
EVIDENCE OF PARANOIA
He believed in the aristocracy
OF force - that as some were
stronger than others the stronger
should rule and the masses just
be driven cattle, 10 be deceived
and used TO the utmost.
His idea that the Jewish race
was distinct from the German
race and was its enemy and the
enemy OF all mankind was linked
up also with his conception of
bolSheviSm as a mainly Jewish
conspiracy to achieve world domi-
nation.
His mental state was one Of
complete delusion in this respect,
which fitted the definition which
f. Kraepelin gave Of paranoia,
viz:
1.-THE Insidious development,
following from inner causes, of
a lasting unshakeable delusional
system, which proceeds with
complete preservation " clear
