LIVING SPACE
GERMAN AMBITIONS NEED FOR COLONIES London, Juno 20 "The German Navy's activities are not limited to the protection of Lebensraum ('living space') overseas, namely, access to tho earth's possessions, but it shares a national political mission with other organisations," said Admiral Baeder, at a meeting of tho Foreign Institute at Stuttgart. The Admiral stressed the propaganda value of German ships visiting foreign ports. The German Navy would act as a bridge between German outposts abroad and the greater German homeland, because Germans everywhere were inspired by a knowledge that their rights to sources of raw materials could not permanently be withheld from them. General von Epp denied that the colonial claims were a mere political manoeuvre. Germany was entitled to her former colonies because of her ability as a colonising nation.
