" Foreigners, whether Jews or not, will be permitted to live in Germany only by sufferance



Adolf Hitler drained his cup as if it contained not tea, but the lifeblood of Bolshevism
"Bolshevism," the chief of the Brown Shirts, the Fascists of Germany, continued, gazing at me balefully, "is our greatest menace
Kill Bolshevism in Germany and you restore 70 million people to power
France owes her strength not to her armies but to the forces of Bolshevism and dissension in our midst
"The Treaty of Versailles and the Treaty of St Germain are kept alive by Bolshevism in Germany
The Peace Treaty and Bolshevism are two heads of one monster
We must decapitate both
" I met Hitler not in his headquarters, the Brown House in Munich, but in a private home - the dwelling of a former admiral of the German Navy
We discussed the fate of Germany over the teacups
"Why," I asked Hitler, "do you call yourself a National Socialist, since your party programme is the very antithesis of that commonly accredited to socialism?" "Socialism," he retorted, putting down his cup of tea, pugnaciously, "is the science of dealing with the common weal
Communism is not Socialism
Marxism is not Socialism
The Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning
I shall take Socialism away from the Socialists
"Socialism is an ancient Aryan, Germanic institution
Our German ancestors held certain lands in common
They cultivated the idea of the common weal
Marxism has no right to disguise itself as socialism
Socialism, unlike Marxism, does not repudiate private property
Unlike Marxism, it involves no negation of personality, and unlike Marxism, it is patriotic
"We might have called ourselves the Liberal Party
We chose to call ourselves the National Socialists
We are not internationalists
Our socialism is national
We demand the fulfilment of the just claims of the productive classes by the state on the basis of race solidarity
To us state and race are one
" Hitler himself is not a purely Germanic type
His dark hair betrays some alpine ancestor
For years he refused to be photographed
That was part of his strategy - to be known only to his friends so that, in the hour of crisis, he could appear here, there, and everywhere without detection
Today he could no longer pass unrecognized through the obscurest hamlet in Germany
His appearance contrasts strangely with the aggressiveness of his opinions
No milder mannered reformer ever scuttled ship of state or cut political throat
"What," I continued my cross-examination, "are the fundamental planks of your platform?" "We believe in a healthy mind in a healthy body
The body politic must be sound if the soul is to be healthy
Moral and physical health are synonymous
" "Mussolini," I interjected, "said the same to me
" Hitler beamed
"The slums," he added, "are responsible for nine-tenths, alcohol for one-tenth, of all human depravity
No healthy man is a Marxian
Healthy men recognize the value of personality
We contend against the forces of disaster and degeneration
Bavaria is comparatively healthy because it is not completely industrialized
However, all Germany, including Bavaria, is condemned to intensive industrialism by the smallness of our territory
If we wish to save Germany we must see to it that our farmers remain faithful to the land
To do so, they must have room to breathe and room to work
" "Where will you find the room to work?" "We must retain our colonies and we must expand eastward
There was a time when we could have shared world dominion with England
Now we can stretch our cramped limbs only toward the east
The Baltic is necessarily a German lake
" "Is it not," I asked, "possible for Germany to reconquer the world economically without extending her territory?" Hitler shook his head earnestly
"Economic imperialism, like military imperialism, depends upon power
There can be no world trade on a large scale without world power
Our people have not learned to think in terms of world power and world trade
However, Germany cannot extend commercially or territorially until she regains what she has lost and until she finds herself
"We are in the position of a man whose house has been burned down
He must have a roof over his head before he can indulge in more ambitious plans
We had succeeded in creating an emergency shelter that keeps out the rain
We were not prepared for hailstones
However, misfortunes hailed down upon us
Germany has been living in a veritable blizzard of national, moral, and economic catastrophes
"Our demoralized party system is a symptom of our disaster
Parliamentary majorities fluctuate with the mood of the moment
Parliamentary government unbars the gate to Bolshevism
" "Unlike some German militarists, you do not favor an alliance with Soviet Russia?" Hitler evaded a direct reply to this question
He evaded it again recently when Liberty asked him to reply to Trotsky's statement that his assumption of power in Germany would involve a life-and-death struggle between Europe, led by Germany, and Soviet Russia
"It may not suit Hitler to attack Bolshevism in Russia
He may even look upon an alliance with Bolshevism as his last card, if he is in danger of losing the game
If, he intimated on one occasion, capitalism refuses to recognize that the National Socialists are the last bulwark of private property, if capital impedes their struggle, Germany may be compelled to throw herself into the enticing arms of the siren Soviet Russia
But he is determined not to permit Bolshevism to take root in Germany
" He responded warily in the past to the advances of Chancellor Bruening and others who wished to form a united political front
It is unlikely that now, in view of the steady increase in the vote of the National Socialists, Hitler will be in the mood to compromise on any essential principle with other parties
"The political combinations upon which a united front depend," Hitler remarked to me, "are too unstable
They render almost impossible a clearly defined policy
I see everywhere the zigzag course of compromise and concession
Our constructive forces are checked by the tyranny of numbers
We make the mistake of applying arithmetic and the mechanics of the economic world to the living state
We are threatened by ever increasing numbers and ever diminishing ideals
Mere numbers are unimportant
" "But suppose France retaliates against you by once more invading your soil? She invaded the Ruhr once before
She may invade it again
" "It does not matter," Hitler, thoroughly aroused, retorted, "how many square miles the enemy may occupy if the national spirit is aroused
Ten million free Germans, ready to perish so that their country may live, are more potent than 50 million whose will power is paralyzed and whose race consciousness is infected by aliens
"We want a greater Germany uniting all German tribes
But our salvation can start in the smallest corner
Even if we had only 10 acres of land and were determined to defend them with our lives, the 10 acres would become the focus of regeneration
Our workers have two souls: one is German, the other is Marxian
We must arouse the German soul
We must uproot the canker of Marxism
Marxism and Germanism are antitheses
"In my scheme of the German state, there will be no room for the alien, no use for the wastrel, for the usurer or speculator, or anyone incapable of productive work
" The cords on Hitler's forehead stood out threateningly
His voice filled theroom
There was a noise at the door
His followers, who always remain within call, like a bodyguard, reminded the leader of his duty to address a meeting
Hitler gulped down his tea and rose
