It is highly important for our manner of proceeding both now and in future that the real political successes of our nation and the profitless objects for which the blood of our nation was spilt should be clearly dis¬ tinguished and kept apart. The National Socialist movement must never join in with the vicious and noisy patriotism of our bourgeois world of to-day. It is especially dangerous for us to regard ourselves as being in the least bound by the developments just before the War. Our object must be to bring our territory into harmony with the numbers of our population.
The demand for restoration of the frontiers of 1914 is politically foolish. Yet those who persist in it pro¬ claim it as the object of their action in politics, and by so doing they tend to consolidate the hostile alliance which would otherwise be falling apart in the natural course. This is the only explanation why, eight years after a world struggle in which States with hetero¬ geneous desires and aims took part, the then victorious coalition manages to carry on in a more or less solid formation.
