"This will in all probability happen much, sooner than the apparent rapid growth of power might suggest. For the German nation is overtaxed, ex- hausted by its training before the race begins, and really ill. But when its power is crippled, what then?" Rauschning has no doubts about Hitler's aims; isolationists 'in the United States might read with profit what he says about these. They in- clude the mastery of Europe by an- nexations and protectorates, Russia not excluded, the destruction of the British Empire, the setting up of a colonial empire in Africa, "thrusts against South America and the Pa- | cific", and, in the end, "world domi- nion". As for the British Empire, it is breaking up anyway; Britain has lost "the will to rule", and her policy of granting more and more liberty is fatal to the preservation of an em- pire. Here Rauschning takes issue with his former chief. He argues that "the whole idea of an order rest- ing on arbitrary force, of a world empire to be kept together by the methods of domination now practised \within Germany, is absurd and entire- ly impracticable. A permanent sys- tem of imperial rule cannot be main- tained by such methods. The much- abused England with her imagined loss of dominion has kept up with the times better than the 'dynamic' na- tions, with their parade of brave new ideas which in truth are retyogressive and antiquated. . . . No one can deny that the British Empire, with its methods of government based on free- dom (afidl consent, and with the moral authority of its centre, comes very close-to an almost spiritual conception of the State and social order." Could a greater compliment be paid Great Britain? If there are in Ger- many men of like views, muzzled but still capable of thinking for them- selves, there is still hope for the lib- eration and regeneration of that un- happy country. One recalls the Old Testament story of the ten righteous men who, if they had been forthcom- ing, might have saved two cities that had become rotten to the core. Great- er 'than any military, victory by our forces over Germany would be a vic- tory of the better elements in Germany over the baser, and such a victory would make for a more real and last- ing peace in Europe and the world. Hermann Rauschning's books should have a place in every public library in our land. There is not yet a copy of any of them in the Port Perry Library. It is to be hoped that the omission will soon be remedied.
