A FLICKER IN GERMANY
As showing that a “ little candle ” of public opinion still flickers in the “naughty world” of Germany, the following thin-paper leaflet issued by the German Freedom Party bears quotation:—“ There are some among us who in the confusion have seen in the threatened war a release from the disgrace of the tyranny from which we suffer. The brutal violence which holds us down, the relentless compulsion which governs all our actions, fetters our hands, puts our very wills in chains. But war is bound, so many hope, to break the tyranny. War is bound, so many pray, to free Germany from the disgrace of the Nazis, These thoughts and wishes may be intelligible, may be human, may be manly—but they are not German, they are not worthy of us. Not only because war might annihilate our Germany and perhaps all Europe, but still more because we Germans must not look to foreign aid for our salvation or our emancipation from our bondage. We have the responsibility of having submitted to the tyranny of Nazism. We must muster the influence, the courage and the strength to break our chains and make Germany free once more,”
