DEBASED BY NAZIS
4. GENERATION OF GERMAN YOUTH PROBLEM FOR UNITED NATIONS. DISCUSSED BY LORD HALIFAX. (By Telegraph—Press; Association—Copyright) NEW YORK, January 13. “Unless the United Nations destroy the Nazi educational philosophy that trains children to be young fanatics, we will have to fight Germany again,” said Lord Halifax in a speech at Cincinnatti.
“The Nazis have spoiled and seduced a whole generation of German youth in the past 10 years by education directed at the single purpose of producing the most efficient fighting machine human ingenuity could produce. The Nazis have bred a generation of young fanatics physically fit but with their minds closed to all ideas outside a false and narrow philosophy. “It is idle to suppose that defeat itself will effect a miraculous lasting conversion or that the danger can be met by frontier adjustments, military occupations or economic controls. We must destroy the evils at their roots. Possibly the hardest part of our task won’t be the elimination of what is false, but the introduction of what is true.”
