HITLER’S POLICY

GERMAN PROPAGANDA. “The purpose of German propaganda in this country—propaganda even stronger- and more pervasive than it was in 1913 and 1934—is to make sure that we shall hold aloof whenever Hitler chooses to strike. Strike he must and will, in some direction, within a calculable future unlass he can secure by mingled blandishments and terror the rewards of war without making war. Few British partisans of an understanding—clear or otherwise—with Nazi Germany seem able to put themselves in Hitler’s place or to think things our. from his standpoint. Nazi Germany has spent a huge sum, perhaps £l, 500,000,000, on armaments during the past thitee years. Most of that sum has been raised in the form of a semi-clandestine floating debt. For various reasons there must be a time limit to this process. Hitler has told his people that he does not look upon as playthings. We may well believe him, just as we may take his word when he writes that alliances are useless unless they have war as their object.”—Mr Wickham Steed in the “Contemporary Review.”
