Glossary for Nazism
By J. C. Johnstone
HITLER'S one consistency is his distortion of plain terms to suit his own vile purposes. Thus it is that, whether he is address- ing the Reichstag or publicly explaining why he took the steps he did to bestow German blessings on the Balkans, or ex- posing the machination of his enemy, he habitually uses langunge all his own.
¿

No one outside the Axis coun- trics, and only the most gullible minds inside them, could any longer be hypnotised by Hitler's bland pretence that whenever he attacks a neighbour it is he who is the real victim of trea- chery and aggression.
It may, however, be instruc- tive to compile a specimen glos- sary of Nazi terms habitually used in the altempt to convinco the world that black is white, or at any rate a higher shade of grey. Here it is:

It is possible that the Axis de- elsion to afford official recognition of the Nanking Government is an attempt to coat nasty medicine which Japan is expected to take, with some sugar: what Germany hopes to be an effective form of blackmail. Japan has been made extremely nervous by the current international situation; she is becoming more and more estranged from the United
country States-the
whose friendship she has always woord and wanted; she has Russia, and Germany embroiled in a war, the outcome of which, no matter which way it be, cannot afford any con- solation to Japan, whose great bogey has always been her imme- diate neighbour in the west; the Is tled to a tripartite pact, the terms of which she is probably realising more and more are extremely one-

It is generally accepted that Hitler wants Japan to create a diversion in the Far East which will involve Briinin and the United States, and

dictator is probably ex- tremely annoyed in the failure of Japan to force the Issue over the N.E.I. Now, it would appear, he has decided to use the soft gloves of to bring Japan to his persuasion bidding, even possibly hoping that China will take such a step as de- claring war on him and his Allies, which might then enable him to Insist upon that vital clause in the tripartito pact by which the signa- tories, given certain eventualities, go to each other's aid.
Thus, Chungking would be nd- vized to act warily, or she might inke a step which would do more linem than good to her own cause and that of her friends, Britain and America. Clearly there is some reason behind the sudden decision of Hitler to ac- cept the Nanking regime; he never tives something for nothing, and Chungking will be well advised to wait for Japan's next move before taking any irrevocable step, pralno- worlly though bor intentions may be.
