“The Germans are one of the finest races in the world. They have recovered their self-respect and are a fine, healthy and upstanding people,” stated Mr J. Quill, who returned recently from a tour abroad, in an interview in Wellington. During his visit to Germany he had not seen a man who could be termed a weed, and the women, who did not use cosmetics, were very comely. Although cosmetics were not banned, they were extremely difficult to obtain and consequently only about one woman in 10 used them. Commenting on the “uniform consciousness” of the Germans, Mr Quill said that one afternoon when standing on a corner in Cologne he had counted 23 different uniforms in 20 minutes. |
