never be successful. We Germans know well enough by experience how hard it is to force England’s hand. Apart from all this, I, speaking as a German, would far rather see India under British domination than that of any other nation.
The hopes of a mythical rising in Egypt against British influence were equally ill-founded.
It was bad enough in times of peace. The alliances with Austria and Turkey were nothing to rejoice over. At a moment when the greatest military and industrial States in the world were joining together in an active offensive alliance, we collected a couple of weak, outof-date States and attempted, with the aid of a mass of lumber, fated to go under, to face an active world coalition. Germany paid heavily for this error in foreign policy.
As a Nationalist, estimating humanity by the principle of race, I cannot admit that it is right to chain the fortunes of one’s nation to the so-called “oppressed nationalities”, since I know how worthless they are racially.
The present-day rulers of Russia have no intention of entering into any alliance for a long period.
We must not forget that Bolshevists are blood-stained, that, favoured by circumstances in a tragic hour, they overran a great State, and in a fury of massacre wiped out millions of their most intelligent fellow-countrymen, and now, for ten years, they have been conducting the most tyrannous regime of all time. We must not forget that many of them belong to a race which combines a rare mixture of bestial cruelty and vast skill in lies, and considers itself specially called now to gather the whole world under its bloody oppression.
We must not forget that the international Jew, who continues to dominate over Russia, does not regard Germany as an ally but as a State destined to undergo a similar fate.
