IMBUE NAZI SPIRIT.
GERMANISM IN AUSTRALIA,
BERLIN, May 8.
A plan to keep Germanism alive in Australia was proposed by Professor J. W. Mannhardt, of the University of Marburg, in an address to the National German Council at Kiel. His object is to unite the Gonnnn citizens of the Commonwealth by imbuing them with the Nazi spirit.
He deplored the fact that 40,000 German migrants to Australia since 183S had become divided among themselves, with the result that German culture was rapidly disappearing among their descendants.
This was due, chiefly, to the ban on the German language and German schools imposed during the war. For this reason the younger generation of Austral-Germans had learned English as their mother tongue.
Professor Mannhardt toured Australia in 1030 to study forms of government. He said, when in Sydney, that German policy was, to send German colonists to places where they could remain Germans.
