HITLER’S AMBITION
A BLOODLESS CONQUEROR. “It is Herr Hitler’s ambition to live in history as a bloodless conqueror. He would rather win by statecraft than by war. He has no desire to share glory, even of a German victory, with his own generals. The danger to world-peace lies in the possibility that the relentless pursuit of his aims by political pressure may some day encounter resistance on the part of one of the States which are its objectives. It was significant that, in replying to President Roosevelt’s inquiry as to whether he would declare that he had no intention of attacking certain coun-
tries, Herr Hitler announced his readiness to give such a pledge subpect to the condition that the nations* in question approached him individually ‘with appropriate proposals.’ In a speech otherwise clear this was the one vague passage. Such ‘appropriate proposals’ would doubtless include acceptance of economic domination to Germany, together with the undertaking to follow a foreign policy adapted to her interests.”—Mr G Ward Price.
