part to adopt a practical policy of alliances. They had no illusions
about French aims or those of the men behind the scenes in
France. What induced them to take up such an attitude and to act
as if they honestly believed that the fate of Germany could
possibly be changed in this way was the cool calculation that if
this did not happen our people might take the reins into their own
hands and choose another road.
Of course it is difficult for us to propose England as our possible
ally in the future. Our Jewish Press has always been adept in
concentrating hatred against England particularly. And many of
our good German simpletons perch on these branches which the
Jews have limed to capture them. They babble about a restoration
of German sea power and protest against the robbery of our
colonies. Thus they furnish material which the contriving Jew
transmits to his clansmen in England, so that it can be used there
for purposes of practical propaganda. For our simpleminded
bourgeoisie who indulge in politics can take in only little by little
the idea that today we have not to fight for 'seapower' and such
things. Even before the War it was absurd to direct the national
energies of Germany towards this end without first having
secured our position in Europe. Such a hope today reaches that
peak of absurdity which may be called criminal in the domain of
politics.
Often one becomes really desperate on seeing how the Jewish
wirepullers succeeded in concentrating the attention of the
people on things which are only of secondary importance today,
They incited the people to demonstrations and protests while at
the same time France was tearing our nation asunder bit by bit
and systematically removing the very foundations of our national
independence.
In this connection I have to think of the Wooden Horse in the
riding of which the Jew showed extraordinary skill during these
years. I mean South Tyrol.
Yes, South Tyrol. The reason why I take up this question here is
just because I want to call to account that shameful canaille who
relied on the ignorance and short memories of large sections of
our people and stimulated a national indignation which is as
foreign to the real character of our parliamentary impostors as the
idea of respect for private property is to a magpie.
I should like to state here that I was one of those who, at the time
when the fate of South Tyrol was being decided – that is to say,
from August 1914 to November 1918 – took my place where that
country also could have been effectively defended, namely, in the
Army. I did my share in the fighting during those years, not
merely to save South Tyrol from being lost but also to save every
other German province for the Fatherland.
The parliamentary sharpers did not take part in that combat. The
whole canaille played party politics. On the other hand, we
carried on the fight in the belief that a victorious issue of the War
would enable the German nation to keep South Tyrol also; but
the loudmouthed traitor carried on a seditious agitation against
such a victorious issue, until the fighting Siegfried succumbed to
the dagger plunged in his back. It was only natural that the
inflammatory and hypocritical speeches of the elegantly dressed
parliamentarians on the Vienna Rathaus Platz or in front of the
Feldherrnhalle in Munich could not save South Tyrol for
Germany. That could be done only by the fighting battalions at
the Front. Those who broke up that fighting front betrayed South
Tyrol, as well as the other districts of Germany.
Anyone who thinks that the South Tyrol question can be solved
today by protests and manifestations and processions organized
by various associations is either a humbug or merely a German
philistine.
In this regard it must be quite clearly understood that we cannot
get back the territories we have lost if we depend on solemn
imprecations before the throne of the Almighty God or on pious
hopes in a League of Nations, but only by the force of arms.
Therefore the only remaining question is: Who is ready to take
up arms for the restoration of the lost territories?
As far as concerns myself personally, I can state with a good
conscience that I would have courage enough to take part in a
campaign for the reconquest of South Tyrol, at the head of
parliamentarian storm battalions consisting of parliamentarian
gasconaders and all the party leaders, also the various
Councillors of State. Only the Devil knows whether I might have
the luck of seeing a few shells suddenly burst over this 'burning'
demonstration of protest. I think that if a fox were to break into a
poultry yard his presence would not provoke such a helterskelter
and rush to cover as we should witness in the band of 'protesters'.
The vilest part of it all is that these talkers themselves do not
believe that anything can be achieved in this way. Each one of
them knows very well how harmless and ineffective their whole
pretence is. They do it only because it is easier now to babble
about the restoration of South Tyrol than to fight for its
preservation in days gone by.
Each one plays the part that he is best capable of playing in life.
In those days we offered our blood. Today these people are
engaged in whetting their tusks.
It is particularly interesting to note today how legitimist circles in
Vienna preen themselves on their work for the restoration of
South Tyrol. Seven years ago their august and illustrious Dynasty
helped, by an act of perjury and treason, to make it possible for
the victorious worldcoalition to take away South Tyrol. At that
time these circles supported the perfidious policy adopted by
their Dynasty and did not trouble themselves in the least about
the fate of South Tyrol or any other province. Naturally it is
easier today to take up the fight for this territory, since the
present struggle is waged with 'the weapons of the mind'.
Anyhow, it is easier to join in a 'meeting of protestation' and talk
yourself hoarse in giving vent to the noble indignation that fills
your breast, or stain your finger with the writing of a newspaper
article, than to blow up a bridge, for instance, during the
occupation of the Ruhr.
The reason why certain circles have made the question of South
Tyrol the pivot of GermanItalian relations during the past few
years is quite evident. Jews and Habsburg legitimists are greatly
interested in preventing Germany from pursuing a policy of
alliance which might lead one day to the resurgence of a free
German fatherland. It is not out of love for South Tyrol that they
play this role today – for their policy would turn out detrimental
rather than helpful to the interests of that province – but through
fear of an agreement being established between Germany and
Italy.
A tendency towards lying and calumny lies in the nature of these
people, and that explains how they can calmly and brazenly
attempt to twist things in such a way as to make it appear that we
have 'betrayed' South Tyrol.
There is one clear answer that must be given to these gentlemen.
It is this: Tyrol has been betrayed, in the first place, by every
German who was sound in limb and body and did not offer
himself for service at the Front during 1914–1918 to do his duty
towards his country.
In the second place, Tyrol was betrayed by every man who,
during those years did not help to reinforce the national spirit and
the national powers of resistance, so as to enable the country to
carry through the War and keep up the fight to the very end.
In the third place, South Tyrol was betrayed by everyone who
took part in the November Revolution, either directly by his act
or indirectly by a cowardly toleration of it, and thus broke the
sole weapon that could have saved South Tyrol.
In the fourth place, South Tyrol was betrayed by those parties
and their adherents who put their signatures to the disgraceful
treaties of Versailles and St. Germain.
And so the matter stands, my brave gentlemen, who make your
protests only with words.
Today I am guided by a calm and cool recognition of the fact
that the lost territories cannot be won back by the whetted
tongues of parliamentary spouters but only by the whetted sword;
in other words, through a fight where blood will have to be shed.
Now, I have no hesitations in saying that today, once the die has
been cast, it is not only impossible to win back South Tyrol
through a war but I should definitely take my stand against such
a movement, because I am convinced that it would not be
possible to arouse the national enthusiasm of the German people
and maintain it in such a way as would be necessary in order to
carry through such a war to a successful issue. On the contrary, I
believe that if we have to shed German blood once again it would
be criminal to do so for the sake of liberating 200,000 Germans,
when more than seven million neighbouring Germans are
suffering under foreign domination and a vital artery of the
German nation has become a playground for hordes of African
negros.
If the German nation is to put an end to a state of things which
threatens to wipe it off the map of Europe it must not fall into the
errors of the preWar period and make the whole world its
enemy. But it must ascertain who is its most dangerous enemy so
that it can concentrate all its forces in a struggle to beat him. And
if, in order to carry through this struggle to victory, sacrifices
should be made in other quarters, future generations will not
condemn us for that. They will take account of the miseries and
anxieties which led us to make such a bitter decision, and in the
light of that consideration they will more clearly recognize the
brilliancy of our success.
Again I must say here that we must always be guided by the
fundamental principle that, as a preliminary to winning back lost
provinces, the political independence and strength of the
motherland must first be restored.
The first task which has to be accomplished is to make that
independence possible and to secure it by a wise policy of
alliances, which presupposes an energetic management of our
public affairs.
But it is just on this point that we, National Socialists, have to
guard against being dragged into the tow of our ranting bourgeois
patriots who take their cue from the Jew. It would be a disaster if,
instead of preparing for the coming struggle, our Movement also
were to busy itself with mere protests by word of mouth.
It was the fantastic idea of a Nibelungen alliance with the
decomposed body of the Habsburg State that brought about
Germany's ruin. Fantastic sentimentality in dealing with the
possibilities of foreign policy today would be the best means of
preventing our revival for innumerable years to come.
Here I must briefly answer the objections which may be raised in
regard to the three questions I have put.
1. Is it possible at all to form an alliance with the present
Germany, whose weakness is so visible to all eyes?
2. Can the exenemy nations change their attitude towards
Germany?
3. In other nations is not the influence of Jewry stronger than the
recognition of their own interests, and does not this influence
thwart all their good intentions and render all their plans futile?
I think that I have already dealt adequately with one of the two
aspects of the first point. Of course nobody will enter into an
alliance with the present Germany. No Power in the world would
link its fortunes with a State whose government does not afford
grounds for the slightest confidence. As regards the attempt
which has been made by many of our compatriots to explain the
conduct of the Government by referring to the woeful state of
public feeling and thus excuse such conduct, I must strongly
object to that way of looking at things.
The lack of character which our people have shown during the
last six years is deeply distressing. The indifference with which
they have treated the most urgent necessities of our nation might
veritably lead one to despair. Their cowardice is such that it often
cries to heaven for vengeance. But one must never forget that we
are dealing with a people who gave to the world, a few years
previously, an admirable example of the highest human qualities.
From the first days of August 1914 to the end of the tremendous
struggle between the nations, no people in the world gave a better
proof of manly courage, tenacity and patient endurance, than this
people gave who are so cast down and dispirited today. Nobody
will dare to assert that the lack of character among our people
today is typical of them. What we have to endure today, among
us and around us, is due only to the influence of the sad and
distressing effects that followed the high treason committed on
November 9th, 1918. More than ever before the word of the poet
is true: that evil can only give rise to evil. But even in this epoch
those qualities among our people which are fundamentally sound
are not entirely lost. They slumber in the depths of the national
conscience, and sometimes in the clouded firmament we see
certain qualities like shining lights which Germany will one day
remember as the first symptoms of a revival. We often see young
Germans assembling and forming determined resolutions, as they
did in 1914, freely and willingly to offer themselves as a sacrifice
on the altar of their beloved Fatherland. Millions of men have
resumed work, wholeheartedly and zealously, as if no revolution
had ever affected them. The smith is at his anvil once again. And
the farmer drives his plough. The scientist is in his laboratory.
And everybody is once again attending to his duty with the same
zeal and devotion as formerly.
The oppression which we suffer from at the hands of our enemies
is no longer taken, as it formerly was, as a matter for laughter;
but it is resented with bitterness and anger. There can be no
doubt that a great change of attitude has taken place.
This evolution has not yet taken the shape of a conscious
intention and movement to restore the political power and
independence of our nation; but the blame for this must be
attributed to those utterly incompetent people who have no
natural endowments to qualify them for statesmanship and yet
have been governing our nation since 1918 and leading it to ruin.
Yes. If anybody accuses our people today he ought to be asked:
What is being done to help them? What are we to say of the poor
support which the people give to any measures introduced by the
Government? Is it not true that such a thing as a Government
hardly exists at all? And must we consider the poor support
which it receives as a sign of a lack of vitality in the nation itself;
or is it not rather a proof of the complete failure of the methods
employed in the management of this valuable trust? What have
our Governments done to reawaken in the nation a proud spirit
of selfassertion, upstanding manliness, and a spirit of righteous
defiance towards its enemies?
In 1919, when the Peace Treaty was imposed on the German
nation, there were grounds for hoping that this instrument of
unrestricted oppression would help to reinforce the outcry for the
freedom of Germany. Peace treaties which make demands that
fall like a whiplash on the people turn out not infrequently to be
the signal of a future revival.
To what purpose could the Treaty of Versailles have been
exploited?
In the hands of a willing Government, how could this instrument
of unlimited blackmail and shameful humiliation have been
applied for the purpose of arousing national sentiment to its
highest pitch? How could a welldirected system of propaganda
have utilized the sadist cruelty of that treaty so as to change the
indifference of the people to a feeling of indignation and
transform that indignation into a spirit of dauntless resistance?
Each point of that Treaty could have been engraved on the minds
and hearts of the German people and burned into them until sixty
million men and women would find their souls aflame with a
feeling of rage and shame; and a torrent of fire would burst forth
as from a furnace, and one common will would be forged from it,
like a sword of steel. Then the people would join in the common
cry: "To arms again!" Yes. A treaty of that kind can be used for
such a purpose. Its unbounded oppression and its impudent
demands were an excellent propaganda weapon to arouse the
sluggish spirit of the nation and restore its vitality.
Then, from the child's storybook to the last newspaper in the
country, and every theatre and cinema, every pillar where
placards are posted and every free space on the hoardings should
be utilized in the service of this one great mission, until the faint
hearted cry, "Lord, deliver us," which our patriotic associations
send up to Heaven today would be transformed into an ardent
prayer: "Almighty God, bless our arms when the hour comes. Be
just, as Thou hast always been just. Judge now if we deserve our
freedom. Lord, bless our struggle." All opportunities were
neglected and nothing was done.
Who will be surprised now if our people are not such as they
should be or might be? The rest of the world looks upon us only
as its valet, or as a kindly dog that will lick its master's hand after
he has been whipped.
Of course the possibilities of forming alliances with other nations
are hampered by the indifference of our own people, but much
more by our Governments. They have been and are so corrupt
that now, after eight years of indescribable oppression, there
exists only a faint desire for liberty.
In order that our nation may undertake a policy of alliances, it
must restore its prestige among other nations, and it must have an
authoritative Government that is not a drudge in the service of
foreign States and the taskmaster of its own people, but rather the
herald of the national will.
If our people had a government which would look upon this as its
mission, six years would not have passed before a courageous
foreign policy on the part of the Reich would find a
corresponding support among the people, whose desire for
freedom would be encouraged and intensified thereby.
The third objection referred to the difficulty of changing the ex
enemy nations into friendly allies. That objection may be
answered as follows:
The general antiGerman psychosis which has developed in other
countries through the war propaganda must of necessity continue
to exist as long as there is not a renaissance of the national
conscience among the German people, so that the German Reich
may once again become a State which is able to play its part on
the chessboard of European politics and with whom the others
feel that they can play. Only when the Government and the
people feel absolutely certain of being able to undertake a policy
of alliances can one Power or another, whose interests coincide
with ours, think of instituting a system of propaganda for the
purpose of changing public opinion among its own people.
Naturally it will take several years of persevering and ably
directed work to reach such a result. Just because a long period is
needed in order to change the public opinion of a country, it is
necessary to reflect calmly before such an enterprise be
undertaken. This means that one must not enter upon this kind of
work unless one is absolutely convinced that it is worth the
trouble and that it will bring results which will be valuable in the
future. One must not try to change the opinions and feelings of a
people by basing one's actions on the vain cajolery of a more or
less brilliant Foreign Minister, but only if there be a tangible
guarantee that the new orientation will be really useful.
Otherwise public opinion in the country dealt with may be just
thrown into a state of complete confusion. The most reliable
guarantee that can be given for the possibility of subsequently
entering into an alliance with a certain State cannot be found in
the loquacious suavity of some individual member of the
Government, but in the manifest stability of a definite and
practical policy on the part of the Government as a whole, and in
the support which is given to that policy by the public opinion of
the country. The faith of the public in this policy will be
strengthened all the more if the Government organize one active
propaganda to explain its efforts and secure public support for
them, and if public opinion favourably responds to the
Government's policy.
Therefore a nation in such a position as ours will be looked upon
as a possible ally if public opinion supports the Government's
policy and if both are united in the same enthusiastic
determination to carry through the fight for national freedom.
That condition of affairs must be firmly established before any
attempt can be made to change public opinion in other countries
which, for the sake of defending their most elementary interests,
are disposed to take the road shouldertoshoulder with a
companion who seems able to play his part in defending those
interests. In other words, this means that they will be ready to
establish an alliance.
For this purpose, however, one thing is necessary. Seeing that the
task of bringing about a radical change in the public opinion of a
country calls for hard work, and many do not at first understand
what it means, it would be both foolish and criminal to commit
mistakes which could be used as weapons in the hands of those
who are opposed to such a change.
One must recognize the fact that it takes a long time for a people
to understand completely the inner purposes which a
Government has in view, because it is not possible to explain the
ultimate aims of the preparations that are being made to carry
through a certain policy. In such cases the Government has to
count on the blind faith of the masses or the intuitive instinct of
the ruling caste that is more developed intellectually. But since
many people lack this insight, this political acumen and faculty
for seeing into the trend of affairs, and since political
considerations forbid a public explanation of why such and such
a course is being followed, a certain number of leaders in
intellectual circles will always oppose new tendencies which,
because they are not easily grasped, can be pointed to as mere
experiments. And that attitude arouses opposition among
conservative circles regarding the measures in question.
For this reason a strict duty devolves upon everybody not to
allow any weapon to fall into the hands of those who would
interfere with the work of bringing about a mutual understanding
with other nations. This is specially so in our case, where we
have to deal with the pretentions and fantastic talk of our
patriotic associations and our small bourgeoisie who talk politics
in the cafes. That the cry for a new war fleet, the restoration of
our colonies, etc., has no chance of ever being carried out in
practice will not be denied by anyone who thinks over the matter
calmly and seriously. These harmless and sometimes halfcrazy
spouters in the war of protests are serving the interests of our
mortal enemy, while the manner in which their vapourings are
exploited for political purposes in England cannot be considered
as advantageous to Germany.
They squander their energies in futile demonstrations against the
whole world. These demonstrations are harmful to our interests
and those who indulge in them forget the fundamental principle
which is a preliminary condition of all success. What thou doest,
do it thoroughly. Because we keep on howling against five or ten
States we fail to concentrate all the forces of our national will
and our physical strength for a blow at the heart of our bitterest
enemy. And in this way we sacrifice the possibility of securing
an alliance which would reinforce our strength for that decisive
conflict.
Here, too, there is a mission for National Socialism to fulfil. It
must teach our people not to fix their attention on the little things
but rather on the great things, not to exhaust their energies on
secondary objects, and not to forget that the object we shall have
to fight for one day is the bare existence of our people and that
the sole enemy we shall have to strike at is that Power which is
robbing us of this existence.
It may be that we shall have many a heavy burden to bear. But
this is by no means an excuse for refusing to listen to reason and
raise nonsensical outcries against the rest of the world, instead of
concentrating all our forces against the most deadly enemy.
Moreover, the German people will have no moral right to
complain of the manner in which the rest of the world acts
towards them, as long as they themselves have not called to
account those criminals who sold and betrayed their own
country. We cannot hope to be taken very seriously if we indulge
in longrange abuse and protests against England and Italy and
then allow those scoundrels to circulate undisturbed in our own
country who were in the pay of the enemy war propaganda, took
the weapons out of our hands, broke the backbone of our
resistance and bartered away the Reich for thirty pieces of silver.
The enemy did only what was expected. And we ought to learn
from the stand he took and the way he acted.
Anyone who cannot rise to the level of this outlook must reflect
that otherwise there would remain nothing else than to renounce
the idea of adopting any policy of alliances for the future. For if
we cannot form an alliance with England because she has robbed
us of our colonies, or with Italy because she has taken possession
of South Tyrol, or with Poland or Czechoslovakia, then there
remains no other possibility of an alliance in Europe except with
France which, inter alia, has robbed us of Alsace and Lorraine.
There can scarcely be any doubt as to whether this last alternative
would be advantageous to the interests of the German people.
But if it be defended by somebody one is always doubtful
whether that person be merely a simpleton or an astute rogue.
As far as concerns the leaders in these activities, I think the latter
hypothesis is true.
A change in public feeling among those nations which have
hitherto been enemies and whose true interests will correspond in
the future with ours could be effected, as far as human
calculation goes, if the internal strength of our State and our
manifest determination to secure our own existence made it clear
that we should be valuable allies. Moreover, it is necessary that
our incompetent way of doing things and our criminal conduct in
some matters should not furnish grounds which may be utilized
for purposes of propaganda by those who would oppose our
projects of establishing an alliance with one or other of our
former enemies.
The answer to the third question is still more difficult: Is it
conceivable that they who represent the true interests of those
nations which may possibly form an alliance with us could put
their views into practice against the will of the Jew, who is the
mortal enemy of national and independent popular States?
For instance, could the motiveforces of Great Britain's
traditional statesmanship smash the disastrous influence of the
Jew, or could they not?
This question, as I have already said, is very difficult to answer.
The answer depends on so many factors that it is impossible to
form a conclusive judgment. Anyhow, one thing is certain: The
power of the Government in a given State and at a definite period
may be so firmly established in the public estimation and so
absolutely at the service of the country's interests that the forces
of international Jewry could not possibly organize a real and
effective obstruction against measures considered to be
politically necessary.
The fight which Fascist Italy waged against Jewry's three
principal weapons, the profound reasons for which may not have
been consciously understood (though I do not believe this
myself) furnishes the best proof that the poison fangs of that
Power which transcends all State boundaries are being drawn,
even though in an indirect way. The prohibition of Freemasonry
and secret societies, the suppression of the supernational Press
and the definite abolition of Marxism, together with the steadily
increasing consolidation of the Fascist concept of the State – all
this will enable the Italian Government, in the course of some
years, to advance more and more the interests of the Italian
people without paying any attention to the hissing of the Jewish
worldhydra.
The English situation is not so favourable. In that country which
has 'the freest democracy' the Jew dictates his will, almost
unrestrained but indirectly, through his influence on public
opinion. And yet there is a perpetual struggle in England between
those who are entrusted with the defence of State interests and
the protagonists of Jewish worlddictatorship.
After the War it became clear for the first time how sharp this
contrast is, when British statesmanship took one stand on the
Japanese problem and the Press took a different stand.
Just after the War had ceased the old mutual antipathy between
America and Japan began to reappear. Naturally the great
European Powers could not remain indifferent to this new war
menace. In England, despite the ties of kinship, there was a
certain amount of jealousy and anxiety over the growing
importance of the United States in all spheres of international
economics and politics. What was formerly a colonial territory,
the daughter of a great mother, seemed about to become the new
mistress of the world. It is quite understandable that today
England should reexamine her old alliances and that British
statesmanship should look anxiously to the danger of a coming
moment when the cry would no longer be: "Britain rules the
waves", but rather: "The Seas belong to the United States".
The gigantic North American State, with the enormous resources
of its virgin soil, is much more invulnerable than the encircled
German Reich. Should a day come when the die which will
finally decide the destinies of the nations will have to be cast in
that country, England would be doomed if she stood alone.
Therefore she eagerly reaches out her hand to a member of the
yellow race and enters an alliance which, from the racial point of
view is perhaps unpardonable; but from the political viewpoint it
represents the sole possibility of reinforcing Britain's world
position in face of the strenuous developments taking place on
the American continent.
Despite the fact that they fought side by side on the European
battlefields, the British Government did not decide to conclude
an alliance with the Asiatic partner, yet the whole Jewish Press
opposed the idea of a Japanese alliance.
How can we explain the fact that up to 1918 the Jewish Press
championed the policy of the British Government against the
German Reich and then suddenly began to take its own way and
showed itself disloyal to the Government?
It was not in the interests of Great Britain to have Germany
annihilated, but primarily a Jewish interest. And today the
destruction of Japan would serve British political interests less
than it would serve the farreaching intentions of those who are
leading the movement that hopes to establish a Jewish world
empire. While England is using all her endeavours to maintain
her position in the world, the Jew is organizing his aggressive
plans for the conquest of it.
He already sees the present European States as pliant instruments
in his hands, whether indirectly through the power of socalled
Western Democracy or in the form of a direct domination
through Russian Bolshevism. But it is not only the old world that
he holds in his snare; for a like fate threatens the new world.
Jews control the financial forces of America on the stock
exchange. Year after year the Jew increases his hold on Labour
in a nation of 120 million souls. But a very small section still
remains quite independent and is thus the cause of chagrin to the
Jew.
The Jews show consummate skill in manipulating public opinion
and using it as an instrument in fighting for their own future.
The great leaders of Jewry are confident that the day is near at
hand when the command given in the Old Testament will be
carried out and the Jews will devour the other nations of the
earth.
Among this great mass of denationalized countries which have
become Jewish colonies one independent State could bring about
the ruin of the whole structure at the last moment. The reason for
doing this would be that Bolshevism as a worldsystem cannot
continue to exist unless it encompasses the whole earth. Should
one State preserve its national strength and its national greatness
the empire of the Jewish satrapy, like every other tyranny, would
have to succumb to the force of the national idea.
As a result of his millennial experience in accommodating
himself to surrounding circumstances, the Jew knows very well
that he can undermine the existence of European nations by a
process of racial bastardization, but that he could hardly do the
same to a national Asiatic State like Japan. Today he can ape the
ways of the German and the Englishman, the American and the
Frenchman, but he has no means of approach to the yellow
Asiatic. Therefore he seeks to destroy the Japanese national State
by using other national States as his instruments, so that he may
rid himself of a dangerous opponent before he takes over
supreme control of the last national State and transforms that
control into a tyranny for the oppression of the defenceless.
He does not want to see a national Japanese State in existence
when he founds his millennial empire of the future, and therefore
he wants to destroy it before establishing his own dictatorship.
And so he is busy today in stirring up antipathy towards Japan
among the other nations, as he stirred it up against Germany.
Thus it may happen that while British statesmanship is still
endeavouring to ground its policy in the alliance with Japan, the
Jewish Press in Great Britain may be at the same time leading a
hostile movement against that ally and preparing for a war of
destruction by pretending that it is for the triumph of democracy
and at the same time raising the warcry: Down with Japanese
militarism and imperialism.
Thus in England today the Jew opposes the policy of the State.
And for this reason the struggle against the Jewish worlddanger
will one day begin also in that country.
And here again the National Socialist Movement has a
tremendous task before it.
It must open the eyes of our people in regard to foreign nations
and it must continually remind them of the real enemy who
menaces the world today. In place of preaching hatred against
Aryans from whom we may be separated on almost every other
ground but with whom the bond of kindred blood and the main
features of a common civilization unite us, we must devote
ourselves to arousing general indignation against the maleficent
enemy of humanity and the real author of all our sufferings.
The National Socialist Movement must see to it that at least in
our own country the mortal enemy is recognized and that the
fight against him may be a beacon light pointing to a new and
better period for other nations as well as showing the way of
salvation for Aryan humanity in the struggle for its existence.
Finally, may reason be our guide and willpower our strength.
And may the sacred duty of directing our conduct as I have
pointed out give us perseverance and tenacity; and may our faith
be our supreme protection.
