EXPANSION OF NAZISM

“Herr Hitler has repeatedly declared that his aim was the union of the German people, and his military coups have at least had the justification that they brought unification to a great people from whom it had been long withheld,” says The Times. “He has often declared with the utmost emphasis that he had no other aggressive designs on any other people. That assurance, like others, has been repudiated. Herr Hitler’s influence, dominant in Central Europe, as it was bound in the end to become, is proving itself consistently hostile to political freedom as the Western democracies understand it. They on their part can only continue with increased energy to look to their own security—not because they wish to prevent the normal growth of a strong Germany, but because more and more the Nazi Reich appears to be determined not only to expand to its full stature, but also to extend its domination wherever the weakness of other nations may seem to make extension possible.”
