England did not want Germany as a world Power ; France did not want Germany to be a Power at all —a very essential difference ! We, however, are not fighting for a place as a world Power, but we have to struggle for our Fatherland’s existence, for our national unity, and the daily bread of our children. From this point of view, only two States are left as possible friends for us : Great Britain and Italy.
Great Britain does not desire a France whose military power, unrestrained by the rest of Europe, might cover a policy likely one day to run counter to British interests ; France’s military predominance presses sorely on the heart of the world Empire of Great Britain.
Nor can Italy desire any further strengthening of France’s position of power in Europe. Italy’s future will always depend on developments affecting the Mediterranean basin territorially. Her motive for entering the War was not any desire to aggrandize France, but rather her determination to give the death¬ blow to her hated rivals on the Adriatic. Any increase of French strength on the Continent means restrictions for Italy’s future, and she does not deceive herself into thinking that national relationships in any way exclude rivalries.
Cool and cautious consideration shows that it is these two States, Great Britain and Italy, whose own most natural interests are least in opposition to the conditions essential to the existence of the German nation, and are, in fact, to a certain extent, identical with them.
Little though it is to the interest of official British policy that Germany should be further abased, such a development is very greatly to the interest of the Jews of international finance. In contradistinction to the interests of the welfare of the British State, the Jewry of Finance desires not only Germany’s perpetual economic abasement, but also her complete political enslavement. Therefore the Jew is the great agitator for Germany’s destruction.
