WAR IN 1932

VON LUDENDORFF’S PROPHECY LONDON, June 4. “ The dominions will not help Britain in the next world war, but will desert the Empire, Canada joining the United States, although Ireland will remain united with Britain for the duration of the war, at the Pope’s express wish.” Such is the prophecy made by Fieldmarshal von Ludendorff in “ The Coming War,” published by Faber and Faber, which visualises an outbreak of hostilities in May, 1932, unheralded by any formal declaration of war. The rivals for supremacy, as porttrayed, are the Pope, the Soviet, and the Fascists against Freemasonry, directed by France, Europe being split into battlefields by these super-national Powers and aerial warfare devastating entire nations.

“ Germany rendered impotent ; by the Versailles Treaty, will be the principal cockpit of war, the horrors of the campaign transcending those of the Thirty Years War, when cannibalism was practised.”

Eventually, according' to this prophecy, Western civilisation crashes into economic ruin, Asia and Africa profiting by the destruction of Europe. Von Ludendorff’s contention is that, in order to avoid this holocaust, the British Empire should ally itself, in defiance of France, with the Roman Fascist group, which would welcome it with open arms.
