HITLER, as Rauschning sees him

IN the days when. tion of Nihilism, and the

National Socialism

was young in Germany, one of the leaders of the cult was Hermann Raus- chning, a Prussian Jun- ker, chairman Danzig Senate. Rausch- ning was an intimate of Hitler, used to visit Der Fuehrer and listen to him expound his philosophies and detail his plans.

He broke with his chief on the issue of Jewish persecu-

ordered tions. Hitler

the Jows placed under disabilities. Rauschning would have none of such tactics. So the two men parted, and Rauschning, In exile, wrote two books on the Nazis, :

The first of these, "The Re- des- volution of Nihilism," cribed the Nazi philosophy and the system of geo-politics fathered by General Hausho- fer, and told how their dy- namism was driving the Ger- 'mans onward' 'in a revolution which was without finality. The second book, "Hitler Speaks," was a summary of pronouncements the author had heard Hitler make. Now comes a third book, "The Re- demption .of Democracy" (Longmans, Green).

This book carries on the blue-printing of Hitler's re- volution. There is a good deal in it that was in the car- lier books, but much that is new. The book was largely written, it would seem, in -British air raid shelters and

carries something of the at- mosphere of a city under bombardment. Tho author,

in his underground, station, imagines himself in the steer- age of a new Mayflower:

Possibilities And Perils

"Torn from security and comfort, we are sailing away from home and all wo know into stern, remote, uncharted seas. All London, this, whole land of England, is the vessel, We are bound for the future, for the land of new days. Hope is with us; confidence makes the dark voyage bear- able.

The fading era rip- ples and swirls about our vessel. Shall we come safe We bo Into port? Shall wrecked? And what have we on board? Not simply the ideas of a new liberty and justice; have our Pilgrim Fathers brought along the ageless documents of a higher humanity, or have we forgot- ten them?"

And so, Herr Ruuschning discusses the possibilities and perils and confusions of the voyage. He raises old ghosta and suggests new terrors and ponders the changes that have come upon men and nations.

There is the war, of course *four-dimensional wär, Herr Rauschning calls it, but. more perilous than the war is the revolution which marches with it. This is the revolu~/

author insists it can not re- main simply European but must become universal. The revolution of Nihilism he de- fines in words that lack some- thing of clarity, "as the ulti- mate form of the autocratic human will to dominate, at: the point where it is trans- formed into its opposite: serfdom and bestiality.

Hitler's Object

There is an interesting chapter on Hitler's attitude to Great Britain and the United Stuten. Der Fuchrer is con- vinced, he says, that if Ger- many is to be the dominant world power she must win the mastery of the seas. But Hitler did not wish to win the mastery by fighting.

He offered compromise, for it was his object to dissolve Britain from within, to bind it by alliances to Nazi Ger- many, to transform It in- wardly, corrupt it, cause it to disintegrate. War, he felt, by strengthening the British people's will to survive, would have a' regenerating effect.

Attitude To Britain

Hitler's attempts to con- quer Britain from within has by no means ceased, says Rauschning. Even in the midst of war they go on:

"In his (Hitler's) opinion, there is no unifled national will to survive under a demo- cratic or liberal regime. There are nothing but inter- ests and complexes of aims, easily played off against one

By Walt Disney

WALT DISNEY

Hitler, the author. in- limates, is satisfied as to his nbility to handle the English masses. He sizes them up as having a desire for peace and security, that is, for peace, for the enjoyment of life and recreation and a better stan- dard of living. He is sure they can be convinced that war will lower their standard of living and that as soon as they are shown the useless- neas of their sacrifices they will grow refractory.

Hitler regards the destruc- tion of the British Empire as the keystone of his arch. But he does not take the United States too seriously. He regards it as 'exceedingly vulnerable to a type of revo- lution which he would release upon it when the time came.

The New Mayflower

The author has a good deal to say of the storms and perils through which the New Mayflower is voyaging, but not very much, of the port her passengers and crew hope to reach.

In spite of its name, the book is not very clear about the redemption of democracy. However, there is a vision of a now and just order which will depend upon the survival of the British Empire and the American Union and

"Around the Atlantic some sort of empire of 'peace may grow up. The power nucleus of the new order is springing from a union of the Anglo- Saxon peoples."

Democracy, he defines as a balancing of varying forces. "Democracy is decentralisa- tion

Above all, demo- eracy is the continual deve- lopment of tradition."

Free France Marches with Britain

Overseas Committees

Throughout the world, groups of Frenchmen have responded to General de Gaulle by forming overseas committees and associations in his support. These com- mittees have been formed according to the laws and regulations of the various countries, and have taken, usually, the title of "Trance Libre" or "France For- The sign of the "Croix de Lorraine" is their

badge.

Certain of these committees, such as those of the United States, Canada, the Argentíne, Mexico and Egypt, have become important organisations, but in all other countries, and the Dominions, are to be found similar committees on a smaller scale. Often the French population of a country is fairly limited, but the organisations number among, their sympathisers, friends of France who give generously their moral and financial support.

These associations are kept well informed of the activities of the Free French Forces by a special de- partment at the Free French Headquarters in London. The committee publish and distribute many thousands of brochures and news-sheets for distribution in the various countries, and arrange lectures and radio talks. Besides that, funds are collected to purchase ambu- lances, arms, munitions, and comforts for the Free French Forces,

From the letters received in London from the com- mittees, it is evident that the large majority of French- men overseas have joined these associations, and put themselves at the disposal of General de Gaulle.
