It stands to reason that the more powerful and strongly marked types of new Germanism could enter into relation with the Jews with the least hesitation, for instance, the nobleman officer from the Prussian border: it would be interesting in many ways to see whether the genius for money and patience (and especially some intellect and intellectuality⁠—sadly lacking in the place referred to) could not in addition be annexed and trained to the hereditary art of commanding and obeying⁠—for both of which the country in question has now a classic reputation. But here it is expedient to break off my festal discourse and my sprightly Teutonomania: for I have already reached my serious topic , the “European problem,” as I understand it, the rearing of a new ruling caste for Europe.
