He broke with his chief on the issue of Jewish persecu- tions. Hitler ordered the Jews 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- volution of Nihilism," des- 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- mana 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 ear- 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 nuthor,

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 we 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 into port?: Shall wo be wrecked? And what have

we on board? Not simply

the idens 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 Rauschning. discusses the possibilities and perlla and confusions of the voyago. Ho raises old ghosts and suggests new terrors and ponders the changes that have come upon men and nations

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

tion of Nihilism, and the 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- mato 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. States. 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 Britaih

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 unified 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 another."

Hiller, the author in- timates, is satisfied ns to his ability 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-, ness of their sacrifices they will grow refractory.

Hitler regards the destruc- tion of the British Empire us the keystone of his "urch. But he does not take the United States too seriously. He regards it as exceedingly vulnerable to n 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.

R

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

"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.'

in

Herr Rauschning has faith parliamentarism.. Не speaks of its "irreplaceable function " "Through every conceivable change in the outer and inner forms of the community," he says, "the Parliamentary constitution will remain the one expres- sion of democracy that can lay, claim to universal vali- dity."

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

Above all, demo, cracy 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 "France Libre" or "France. For- ever." The sign of the "Croix de Lorraine" is their badge.

Certain of these committees, such as those of the United States, Canada, the Argentine, 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 Gaul

Surprising Attack Nazis By Tokio Paper

A surprising and sensational attack on the Nazis was launched in Tokio recently by the "Kokumin Shim- bun," organ of the Japanese Army.

"Nobody acems willing to com- ment on the fact that Nazi-1mm is as dangerous to Japan-as-it-is-to Communism and Democracy," slates the Kokumin.

"When the Nazis told the world| that National-Socialism could not be exported, other pations relaxed their vigilance.

"Then the Nazi Fifth Columns got to work and conquered country after country.
