SPEECH DELIVERED IN NÜRNBERG

ON SEPTEMBER 10th 1936
AT THE EIGHTH NATIONAL
SOCIALIST PARTY CONGRESS

"Lenin, the founder of the Bolshevic Revolution, stated

frankly that falsehoods are not only justified but have proved
to be the most effective tools in the Bolshevic struggle."
Joseph Goebbels, Nürnberg, September 1936
 My Führer!
Y o u r Excellencies!
M y Honourable Guests!
F e l l o w Members of the National Socialist Party!

The fact that the phenomenon of B o l s h e v i s m as represented

by the theory of M a r x a n d put into practice by the Russian
Soviet State is still engaging the attention of political circles
in Western E u r o p e , as a theoretical phenomenon and a
political reality w h i c h civilized people ought to take into
account intellectually as well as politically, shows that
there is a fatal lack of insight i n t o the nature and essential
structure of international Bolshevism. W h a t is called B o l -
shevism has n o t h i n g whatsoever to do w i t h w h a t we under-
stand by "ideas" and an "outlook on l i f e " (Weltanschauung)
in general. It is nothing but a pathological and c r i m i n a l k i n d
of madness, devised by Jews, as can well be proved, and led
by Jews who aim at destroying the c i v i l i z e d nations of Europe
and at founding a Jewish-international w o r l d regime that
w o u l d subject all nations to their power.

B o l s h e v i s m could have had its o r i g i n o n l y in the Jewish

b r a i n and the sterile asphalt of the metropolis alone made
it possible for this thing to grow and spread. It could only be
accepted by a species of mankind that had been morally and
economically shattered by the w a r and the economic crisis

3
w h i c h f o l l o w e d . On such people it was let loose and was
acceptable to t h e m because its c r i m i n a l and c r a z y doctrine
appealed to t h e m .

T h o u g h s u p e r f l u o u s , it m a y here once a g a i n be emphasized

that we N a t i o n a l Socialists, in fighting this w o r l d p e r i l as
mercilessly as we d i d f r o m the very first h o u r of o u r po-
l i t i c a l a c t i v i t y up to the present, have not defended anti-
s o c i a l i s t or even pro-capitalist interests. O u r struggle against
B o l s h e v i s m i s n o fight a g a i n s t but i n f a v o u r o f S o c i a l i s m .
O u r attitude grew out of a deep c o n v i c t i o n that a true a n d
genuine S o c i a l i s m can o n l y be realised if its lowest and most
i l l - b o r n o f f s p r i n g , J e w i s h B o l s h e v i s m , w o u l d have been
done a w a y w i t h . The fight against B o l s h e v i s m can o n l y be
c a r r i e d t h r o u g h to a successful issue by a people that has f o u n d
a n e w structure for its f o l k - l i f e w h i c h is adequate to the d y -
n a m i c values and standards of the Twentieth C e n t u r y : a socialist
structure in a national f o r m .

T h e b o u r g e o i s middle-classes of a l l nations have p r o v e d

to be impotent in dealing w i t h Bolshevism and are unfitted
f o r the f i g h t against i t . T h e y have not yet even gained a
clear insight i n t o the p r i n c i p l e s w h i c h i n s p i r e a n d direct
B o l s h e v i s m . They lack the spiritual q u a l i t y , the p r i n c i p l e d
conscience, p o l i t i c a l f a i t h a n d m o r a l strength o f character
that alone w o u l d enable them to face it. B u t not o n l y do they
l a c k the necessary i n s i g h t — t h e y even attempt to c o m p r o m i s e
w i t h B o l s h e v i s m whenever an opportunity arises, so as to
" p r e v e n t an even greater e v i l " . But every pact w h i c h the
bourgeois w o r l d contracts w i t h r a d i c a l Bolshevism w i l l f i n a l l y
lead to a victory of B o l s h e v i s m over the bourgeois w o r l d
because of the n a t u r a l l a w a c c o r d i n g to w h i c h the stronger
w i l l a l w a y s p r e v a i l over t h e w e a k e r .

B o l s h e v i s m has at least one very definite advantage over

a l l other groups that hold p o l i t i c a l p o w e r — e x c e p t i n g

4
those w h o face it with absolute and d o w n r i g h t oppo-
s i t i o n . It mobilises recklessly the lower grades of m a n k i n d
w h i c h exist among the dregs of every nation and are opposed
to the State a n d the ideas w h i c h sustain i t . It is the o r g a n i -
sation of the lowest instincts of a people a i m i n g at the
destruction of all p r o d u c t i v e a n d valuable elements in a race.
It usually seizes upon a group that holds political power
w h i c h is based upon a b r u t i s h m i n o r i t y a n d w h i c h is deter-
m i n e d t o reach its f i n a l p o l i t i c a l a i m w i t h u n s c r u p u l o u s a n d
c r i m i n a l tactics.

B u t the B o l s h e v i c readiness f o r tactical c o m p r o m i s e s must

not be taken as a w i l l i n g n e s s to c o m p r o m i s e as f a r as their
principles are concerned. At bottom, Bolshevism k n o w s no
compromise. If it makes a compromise, that is o n l y done f o r
one reason, i.e. to use it as a means to seize u n l i m i t e d power.
It does not hesitate to cut the throats of those w h o have
helped it to gain power after they have gained it. Not a very
a l l u r i n g prospect for those bourgeois p o l i t i c i a n s of some of
the W e s t - E u r o p e a n states w h o still believe that the sting may
be taken f r o m Bolshevism by the tamer F r o n t P o p u l a i r e .

B o l s h e v i s m is the d i c t a t o r s h i p of the i n f e r i o r . It seizes

power by means of falsehoods, it maintains power by means
of force. To be able to combat it, one must k n o w it thoroughly
a n d one must have penetrated into its deepest secrets. T h e
more w o r t h y forces of a nation have to be m o b i l i z e d to ex-
terminate it, since it is the organisation of everything that m a y
be c a l l e d the a n t i - r a c i a l forces of the people.

There is one sphere in particular wherein B o l s h e v i s m has

s h o w n its mastery, i . e . that of negative p r o p a g a n d a . It gains
a foothold a m o n g the nations by means of lies a n d h y p o c r i s y .
It aims at presenting a garbled picture of the nature a n d inner
f o r m of this p o l i t i c a l madness. L e n i n , the F a t h e r of the
Bolshevist Revolution, stated f r a n k l y that falsehoods are

5
not o n l y justified but have proved to be the most effective
tools in Bolshevist struggle. Schopenhauer has said that
the Jews are masters of lies a n d , therefore, it is no
surprising fact that Bolshevism a n d J e w r y here meet in close
k i n s h i p . J e w i s h Bolshevism is a past-master in the m a n i -
p u l a t i o n of lies. Decent a n d t r u t h f u l people are so stunned
by this m e t h o d that they are incapable of offering i n n e r
resistance. That is just what the Jewish Bolshevists have been
a i m i n g at. T h e y speculate on the incapacity of the average
t r u t h f u l person to imagine that it is even possible to l i e
w i t h such bold and brazen-faced nonchalance as they lie.

It is possible to lie l i k e that. B o l s h e v i s m has shown it to

be possible and it has been successful in surprising a n d
w i n n i n g over m a n y unsuspicious people.

In accordance w i t h the very nature of Bolshevism, its pro-

paganda is i n t e r n a t i o n a l a n d aggressive. It aims at the
radicalisation of a l l the nations of the w o r l d to bring about
anarchy a n d Bolshevism. It has got tremendous supplies
of funds at its disposal w h i c h are unlimited because the
Bolshevic dictators unscrupulously starve the entire Russian
people in order to spend the money f o r this purpose. T h i s
k i n d of propaganda is particularly insidious for outside
countries because it is supported by the Communist parties
of those countries, i.e. by the respective foreign sections of
the C o m i n t e r n . The communist parties outside of Russia are
nothing but foreign legions of the C o m i n t e r n . W i t h their
support, Bolshevism organises a n d lays out ingenious plans
of international sedition w h i c h are very difficult to attack
because they have their roots in the p o l i t i c a l and n a t i o n a l
life of the respective nations. It must be estimated as the
most threatening p e r i l to a state to a l l o w the existence of a
domestic party w h i c h takes its orders f r o m the authorities
of a f o r e i g n country. Experience shows that countries where

6
a strong C o m m u n i s t p a r t y exists are more or less subject to
the dictates of Stalin w i t h regard to their H o m e - S o c i a l -
E c o n o m i c - M i l i t a r y - and F o r e i g n P o l i c y . W h e n c o n c l u d i n g a
treaty, one of the Western E u r o p e a n Great Powers h a d , f o r
example, to make the request first that the Communist p a r t y
that exists on its o w n soil should be ordered f r o m M o s c o w to
stop u n d e r m i n i n g the a r m y a n d vetoing the credits for m i l i t -
ary purposes.

The Communist sections in the various countries are ordered

to prepare a n d to carry through the Bolshevist revolution.
They are supplied w i t h abundant funds, unequaled anywhere
else, to carry on this ingenious propaganda for w h i c h
Moscow has l a i d out the m o d e l . This propaganda has
only one object a n d purpose. It aims at deceiving the other
nations as to the true nature of Bolshevism and either to pre-
vent the leaking out of facts f r o m Soviet Russia or to f a l s i f y
them, so that they lose their value as reliable news. The reason
for such a policy is that the Soviet U n i o n cannot a l l o w the
truth about its domestic conditions to be k n o w n , p a r t i c u l a r l y
not in Western Europe, w i t h its more civilized a n d intelligent
citizens. The poison of the Bolshevist theory may be a l l u r i n g
and enticing, but Bolshevism in practice is terrible a n d h o r r o r -
striking. Its way is m a r k e d by mountains of skeletons. An
ocean of blood a n d tears floods that unhappy tract. H u m a n life
has lost a l l value. T e r r o r i s m , murder, b e s t i a l i t y — t h e s e are
the trails that characterize every Bolshevist revolution, whether
it be successful, as in Russia, or f a i l and be suppressed, as in
H u n g a r y , B a v a r i a , the R u h r district and B e r l i n , or s t i l l f i g h -
ting for power as is the case in Spain today.

W h e n Bolshevism has gained control it stops w o r r y i n g about

contradictions between theory and practice: carbines and
machine guns then hold the field. But anywhere else, outside of
its home territory, it uses its ingeniously devised propaganda

7
machinery to deceive the w o r l d as to its own true nature.
Bourgeois people in Europe have not the slightest knowledge
of how these facts are proceeding. T h e y try to avoid a decision
by mouthing the same phrase over and over again, n a m e l y ,
that nobody is allowed to interfere in the domestic affairs of a
foreign country. But what is a reality now in Russia, w h a t is
fought for and against in Spain and what is fatally p r e p a r i n g
its way in other European S t a t e s — t h a t is a matter of concern
for the whole w o r l d . It is no longer a problem that can be dealt
w i t h by those who theorise about the various outlooks on l i f e
( W e l t a n s c h a u u n g s t h e o r e t i k e r ) , i t i s rather a
matter of grave concern f o r statesmen a l l over the w o r l d . T h e y
w i l l have to tackle this p r o b l e m unless they wish to become
responsible for the future development w h i c h — b e c a u s e of
their n e g l i g e n c e — w i l l p u s h E u r o p e into the most severe c r i s i s
and eventually into r u i n . T h e problem of Bolshevism as it faces
Europe today is a question of to be or not to be. Here a n d
now the souls of men are ranged on the one side or the other.
A definite side w i l l have to be taken either against or in f a v o u r
of Bolshevism and a l l consequences resulting therefrom w i l l
have to be accepted.
Another problem must be settled. The problem of the role
w h i c h Jewry plays in relation to Bolshevism. O n l y in G e r m a n y
can it be openly discussed, since it would be dangerous in
any other c o u n t r y — a s was also the case in Germany not
so m a n y years a g o — e v e n to mention the J e w r y by n a m e .
There can be no doubt that Jews are the founders of B o l s h e v i s m
and that it is they w h o represent it. The old leading class in
Russia has been so completely eliminated that no other leader-
ship group was left but the Jews. Every conflict w i t h i n B o l s h e -
vism is therefore more or less a family conflict a m o n g Jews.
The recent executions in Moscow, i.e. the shooting of Jews by
Jews, can o n l y be understood on motives of thirst for power
and determination to destroy a l l opponents. The belief t h a t J e w s

8
are always at perfect h a r m o n y w i t h one another is a widespread
error. T h e y live in u n i t y only w h e n they f o r m a m i n o r i t y
that is kept in control and menaced by a large national major-
ity. In present-day Russia this is not the case any more. If
Jews have attained p o w e r — a s they exclusively have done i n
R u s s i a — t h e old J e w i s h r i v a l r i e s begin a g a i n , w h i c h h a d been
kept in abeyance by the danger threatening their race.
The idea underlying Bolshevism, i.e. the idea of unscrupulous
disintegration a n d destruction of decency a n d culture for the
d i a b o l i c purpose of destroying the nations could have been
b o r n o n l y in the Jewish b r a i n , just as Bolshevic practice, w i t h
a l l its h o r r i f y i n g cruelty, is o n l y possible w h e n manipulated
by the Jews. In accordance w i t h their nature these Jews do
not show their faces in the o p e n . T h e y w o r k u n d e r g r o u n d a n d ,
in Western Europe they try to deny that they have a n y t h i n g
to do w i t h B o l s h e v i s m . T h a t is the w a y they have a l w a y s
behaved a n d w i l l behave in the future.
But we have found them out a n d , what is more, we are the
o n l y people in the world w h o have the courage to c a l l the
attention of m a n k i n d to these capital criminals. We are not
a f r a i d of any consequences a n d call them by their right name.
There was a time in Germany when anyone who called a Jew
a Jew was sent to prison. But in spite of that we dared to do
it. E v e n today the w o r l d v e r y often objects, w i t h noble
restraint or even w i t h well-staged m o r a l disapproval, w h e n
Jews are called Jews or Bolshevists are called capital c r i m i -
nals. But we are convinced that we shall eventually succeed in
o p e n i n g the eyes of the w o r l d so as to m a k e them see the true
face of J e w r y a n d B o l s h e v i s m just as w e l l as we succeeded in
c o n v i n c i n g G e r m a n y of the perilous parasitic character of
that race. In the meantime we shall not tire of p o i n t i n g to
this fatal danger and a p p e a l i n g to the attention of a l l the
people who are undergoing terrible crises and upheavals,
p r o c l a i m i n g : " T h e Jews are to blame! The Jews are to b l a m e ! "

9
 T h i s charge w i l l be like a lash in the faces of the Jews, distor-
ted as they are by hate. It won't help them either if they try
to adopt the camouflage of democratic f o r m s . That method is
just a bit too ingenious to impress intelligent people. It is o n l y
a ruse to catch the intellectual philistines. They welcome this
slogan because it enables them to fight shy of a decision. T h i s
so-called Bolshevist Democracy w h i c h some F r e n c h a n d
E n g l i s h papers have s u g g e s t e d as the prototype and counter-
part of the so-called N a t i o n a l Socialist Dictatorship, is engulfed
in terror, blood and murder. E v e r y few years the Bolshevist
despots p r o c l a i m this m o t h - e a t e n slogan whenever they
feel the necessity of recommending themselves to Europe after
a period of brutal terrorism. T h e n suddenly canards are let
loose by the C o m m u n i s t propaganda bureaus, empty promises
that a new constitution w i l l be introduced, that the universal
ballot etc. w i l l be granted to Russia. But a l l these promises are
falsehoods, speculating upon the short memories and proverbial
mental inertness of n a r r o w - m i n d e d philistines. In reality
Bolshevism is the crassest rule of blood and terror that the
w o r l d has ever experienced. The Jews have planned it in order
to make it impossible for power to be taken out of their hands,
and it is Jews who are exercising it. We N a t i o n a l Socialists,
to justify and consolidate our national power honourably, have
appealed to the country again and again, almost year after year,
through general elections in w h i c h the laws of the secret ballot
are observed. Bolshevism talks of People and the C o u n t r y
of W o r k e r s and Peasants; but on its face is imprinted the
word F o r c e .
E a c h person forms for himself a certain idea of Bolshevism.
For the most part this idea is the product of his own b r a i n .
Then propaganda comes to his a i d . Its means of working forms
a picture of Bolshevism according to the mentality of a person
or a group of persons or of a nation. It is a l l artificially
managed. There is no real basis of truth in it. It may easily

10
happen that representatives of a great country become en-
thusiastic about a new subway in M o s c o w , w h i c h w o u l d attract
no attention whatsoever in another large city. W h e n the B o l s h e -
vics welcome the stranger w i t h the strains of his o w n n a t i o n a l
anthem these strangers, w i t h o u t a n y rational reason what-
soever, discard their former ideas about Bolshevism a n d make
friends w i t h it. The Red Jews i n M o s c o w k n o w h o w t o handle
their dupes. It is permissible to imagine how they m o c k a n d
r i d i c u l e the attitude of the bourgeois w o r l d that is thus created.
Therefore they are very f u r i o u s w i t h us because we have
recognised them a n d are bent on shattering to its very founda-
tions the picture of B o l s h e v i s m that is w i d e l y prevalent in
E u r o p e . T h e i r hate against us is illimitable. It is one of the
best and most honourable tributes to the character of o u r
political struggle. We tear the m a s k f r o m their faces a n d show
them to the w o r l d in their true appearance.
It has already been stated that the concept w h i c h various
people a n d nations f o r m of B o l s h e v i s m is a special outcome of
Bolshevic propaganda. A great part of the art of deception
consists, for instance, in m a k i n g people believe that the M o s c o w
Government has n o t h i n g at a l l to do w i t h the C o m i n t e r n . That
is about the most barefaced a n d brazen swindle that can be
i m a g i n e d ; because there is o n l y a division of a d m i n i s t r a t i o n
between the Soviet Government a n d the C o m i n t e r n . But to
think that one is independent of the other w o u l d be l i k e be-
l i e v i n g that the N a t i o n a l S o c i a l i s t Movement has n o t h i n g to do
w i t h the N a t i o n a l Socialist G o v e r n m e n t .
Bolshevistic propaganda operates on a broad scale. Its purpose
is to b r i n g the w o r l d to destruction. In foreign countries it
is m i s t a k e n l y i n t e r p r e t e d . T h e s e naive people w h o accept it
are generally the most n a i v e of the naive. But they exist a n d
they have a certain effect of t h e i r o w n .
Bolshevism in practice is something different. There it
i s ; a n d y o u cannot deny w h a t it does. In b l o o d it has traced

11
its f e a r f u l m a r c h . Its intention is to b r i n g the whole w o r l d
into its chaotic mess. It signifies the great attempt of J u d a i s m
to b r i n g the nations under their o w n p o w e r . Therefore the
fight against this danger is, in the truest sense of the w o r d ,
a w o r l d fight. It was begun in G e r m a n y a n d has been fought
out on German soil. A d o l f H i t l e r is the historic leader in
this c a m p a i g n . We are a l l his representatives and therewith
we are the apostles of a great h i s t o r i c a l mission. There can
never be a compromise between the two extremes. Bolshevism
must be exterminated if E u r o p e is to regain its normal state
of h e a l t h .
But the Jews k n o w exactly what is about to happen. In
one of their last efforts they have striven to mobilize a l l the
forces of the w o r l d against G e r m a n y . T h e y want to strengthen
their power by a feverish r u s h of armament. In National
Socialist Germany they see a constant danger to their o w n
existence. In Russia J u d a i s m has established a home for
itself w h i c h they never thought w o u l d be endangered. Up to
ninety-eight percent, it represents the new bourgeois class
a m o n g the S o v i e t s — k n a v e s , fatlings, dissemblers, intriguers
and plotters, back-slappers a n d frivolous people. These Jews
w h o have now attained h i g h positions are able to exercise
their petty swindles, over a large-scale area, on 160 m i l l i o n
people. They are ruthless tyrants, absolutely without p r i n -
c i p l e . T h e y i n f l i c t themselves on the people like a universal
scourge, the purpose of w h i c h is to spread catastrophe.
I have already laid stress on the fact that Bolshevist p r o -
paganda is sufficiently astute to adjust its teaching to its
hearers. It can be r a d i c a l or moderate to suit the occasion.
W h e n the terrorist, D i m i t r o f f , speaks before the C o m i n t e r n
the attitude is different f r o m that w h i c h L i t w i n o f f adopts
before the League of Nations. T h e Bolshevist propaganda
m a y be religious or anti-religious to suit the circumstances.
It is utterly w i t h o u t conscience a n d a l l means are j u s t i f i e d

12
by the ends they serve. A l l over the w o r l d t h i s p r o p a g a n d a
has at its d i s p o s a l a c o m p l e x m a c h i n e r y w h i c h is m a d e up
of the C o m m u n i s t sections in the v a r i o u s c o u n t r i e s . It only
needs to press a b u t t o n in order to put t h i s m a c h i n e r y into
o p e r a t i o n . I n e v e r y c o u n t r y i t operates either s e c r e t l y o r i n
the o p e n . W o e to the n a t i o n that a l l o w s it to f u n c t i o n . One
day that n a t i o n w i l l b e u n d e r m i n e d b y this s e d i t i o u s activity
a n d w i l l b e d i s r u p t e d , m e r e l y because this p h e n o m e n o n has
not been s e r i o u s l y taken into account.
We N a t i o n a l Socialists are in the h a p p y p o s i t i o n that we
have n o need t o m i n c e our w o r d s w h e n w e s p e a k o f B o l -
s h e v i s m . We do not speak the language of the secret cabinets;
we speak the language of the people a n d , therefore, hope
that the people o f outside nations w i l l u n d e r s t a n d us. W e are
l u c k y enough to be able to c a l l things by t h e i r n a m e s ; a n d
we feel b o u n d to do so. F o r the w o r l d m u s t have its eyes
opened. We cannot a n d we must not be silent in face of the
danger that menaces E u r o p e . It is i n c u m b e n t on the nations
a n d their G o v e r n m e n t s to make their o w n d e c i s i o n s ; but it
is the right a n d the d u t y of every i n d i v i d u a l , w h o m nature
has e n d o w e d w i t h the gift of insight a n d the p o w e r of self-
e x p r e s s i o n , to p r o c l a i m his opinions and c o n v i c t i o n s , to point

o f t h e time. T o d a l l y w i t h B o l s h e v i s m spells u l t i m a t e r u i n .
T h e r e f o r e we take the opportunity of t h i s P a r t y Congress
to r i n g the a l a r m against this w o r l d d a n g e r . I have taken
this o p p o r t u n i t y o f pointing out w h a t B o l s h e v i s m i s i n actual

towards the u n d e r s t a n d i n g of the h i s t o r y of o u r o w n times,
w h i c h has to be learned and must not be forgotten.
A n d n o w we come to the point.
T h e W e s t - E u r o p e a n w o r k e r is apt to c o n s i d e r the Soviet
U n i o n as a p r o l e t a r i a n State, i . e . as h i s State. He t h i n k s
that in R u s s i a the w o r k i n g class succeeded in e l i m i n a t i n g the

13
capitalistic exploiters a n d in e s t a b l i s h i n g the dictatorship
of the proletariat, where the free w o r k e r s are n o w b u i l d i n g
up a State of their o w n , the " F a t h e r l a n d of the W o r k i n g
People".
But Jews, l i k e D a v i d R i c a r d o o r M a r x - M a r d o c h a y , have
been the originators of the M a r x i s t t e a c h i n g ; a n d Jews, l i k e
Lassalle, W o l f s s o h n , A d l e r , L i e b k n e c h t , L u x e m b u r g , L e v i etc.
have organised a l l labour m o v e m e n t s . F r o m their safe
editorial chairs, Jews have urged the w o r k e r s to the b a r r i -
cades. Jews, like P a u l Singer, Schiff, K o h n etc. were the
financiers of M a r x i s t B o l s h e v i s m .
The Soviet Government has been a n d s t i l l is almost c o m -
pletely composed of Jews. Not one w o r k e r belongs to the
governing body. Almost a l l of the Bolshevist leaders who
have been recently shot in M o s c o w were Jews. There
was not one worker a m o n g t h e m . T h e T r i u m v i r a t e , w h i c h
rose as the victorious group out of this i n t e r - J e w i s h conflict
and w h i c h n o w holds dictatorship over the Soviet U n i o n , is
composed of:-
Herschel-Jehuda (Jagoda), Head of the
OGPU;
L a z a r u s M o s e s s o h n K a g a n o w i t s c h , Father-
i n - l a w of Stalin and C o m m i s s a r y f o r T r a n s p o r t ;
F i n k e l s t e i n - L i t w i n o f f , Commissary f o r For-
eign A f f a i r s ,
a l l of w h o m are Jews w h o came f r o m the Ghetto.
The Government of the Soviet U n i o n is not the dictatorship
of the proletariat but the dictatorship of J e w r y over all the
rest of the population.
The p o l i t i c a l agitation o f B o l s h e v i s m i s equaled b y its
demagogical propaganda i n the e c o n o m i c sphere. They
proclaim that the w o r k e r leads a sort of p a r a d i s i c a l life in the
Soviet U n i o n . As late as A p r i l , 1932, the newspaper "Rote

14
F a h n e " demanded in its electoral c a m p a i g n : " P u t a stop to the
increase of wages, wages have to be decreased. We d e m a n d
the seven-hour w o r k i n g day, the forty-hour week a n d ad-
justed wages."

But how is the situation in Soviet Russia? T h e price of bread

rose from 9 to 75 Kopeks per k i l o g r a m m w i t h i n the years
between 1928 a n d 1935. The m o n t h l y wage of a Soviet w o r k e r
has fallen 78.5 percent measured by the quantity of bread
w h i c h the worker can b u y . If the Russian w o r k e r w a n t s to
earn enough to live he has to w o r k according to the Stachanoff
system w h i c h has raised the n o r m so m u c h above the average
that the mass of workers can never reach it. T h e result is that
the average Russian worker gets lower wages.

In 1932 the "Rote F a h n e " published a report on the housing

conditions, w h i c h had been sent in by a comrade w o r k i n g in
the Soviet U n i o n . He wrote that he h a d two large rooms for
himself, w i t h electricity a n d central heating.

A n d n o w a true picture of reality: A w o r k i n g w o m a n writes

in " L e n i n g r a d s k a j a P r a w d a " , a Communist paper, " W e , that
is I myself and my little boy, who is a year-and-a-half o l d , my
brother and my sister w h o suffers from tuberculosis, live in
one small and dark r o o m . O u r complaints brought before the
Communist m u n i c i p a l commission have been fruitless. We are
still l i v i n g as before in these unbelievable c o n d i t i o n s . "

The Russian worker has to spend for his simple food w h i c h

consists o n l y of bread, cabbage soup and gruel, not less than
75 percent of his total income. He w o u l d have to spend twice
the amount of the average wage to attain the standard of l i v i n g
w h i c h the German worker has.
A w e l l - k n o w n Bolshevist slogan promises the establishment
of the free right to work. On June 20, 1932 the "Rote F a h n e "
wrote " L o o k towards Moscow, L e n i n g r a d , B a k u , Nowosibirsk

15
and k n o w : work, bread a n d liberty can o n l y be attained if we
fight and follow the example of the B o l s h i v i k i . "
The way in w h i c h the Soviet workers are urged to work by
the Stachanoff system may rightly be called slavery. But the
Soviet U n i o n even r e i n t r o d u c e d slavery in the verbal meaning
of the w o r d . About six-and-a-half m i l l i o n people w h o work in
the forced labour camps of the Soviet U n i o n are l i v i n g in a state
of hell-on-earth. In three hundred giant forced-labour camps,
Bolshevism is squeezing the last ounce of work and energy
out of these workers. Some hundred thousands of people had
to be b u r i e d when the Stalin-Caspian Channel was built by
forced-labour gangs. The f o l l o w i n g Jewish leaders of the
O G P U forced the Channel to be built in such murderous speed:
Herrschel Jagoda, D a v i d s o h n , K w a s n i t z k i , Isaaksohn, Rotten-
berg, Ginsburg, B r o d s k i , Berensohn, D o r f m a n n , Kagner, Angert
and others. J u d a i s m flourishes the w h i p over the " F a t h e r l a n d
of the Proletariat."
Bolshevist propaganda boasts of having freed the w o r k i n g
class among the peasants from the claws of capitalistic ex-
ploitation. To allure the innocent peasants a n d to get their
confidence, Bolshevism founded the "Peasants' International".
In its programme we f i n d the f o l l o w i n g p r o c l a m a t i o n : " W e
demand that the burden of taxes be lifted f r o m the middle-
class of the peasants, that their taxes be decreased, we demand
the expropriation of the large estates, w h i c h shall be made
available free of charge for the sons of the peasants who till
the s o i l . "
Let us have a look at the situation as it exists in reality! T h e
granaries of Soviet-Russia, w h i c h formerly helped to supply
Western E u r o p e w i t h the necessary cereals, are no longer in a
position to feed their o w n population. M i l l i o n s of people are
starving. A bitter war is being waged between the terroristic
apparatus of the O G P U and the peasants. The Jews Kagano-
witsch, Jagoda and B a u m a n n , enforced a r a d i c a l collectivisation

16
 on the p e a s a n t s w h i c h s i m p l y k i l l e d more than 15 m i l l i o n
peasants a n d members of peasant families.
The m a i n achievement of the peasant p o l i c y c a r r i e d out by
the Bolshevists is the terroristic l a w of August 7, 1932, w h i c h ,
for any k i n d of " w r o n g " c o m m i t t e d by a peasant enacts the
death penalty, ten years of h a r d labour or forced l a b o u r sen-
tences. Judeo-Bolshevism even abuses the relation of c h i l d to
parent in a p p l y i n g this l a w . " l s w e s t i a " reports, on M a y 28,
1934, h o w a g i r l denounced her father, w h o h a d kept
back g r a i n that had been commissioned by the collective.
Under the terror l a w her father was subject to the d e a t h
penalty. T h e c h i l d received o f f i c i a l congratulation for her act.
In p r e - N a t i o n a l Socialist G e r m a n y the C o m m u n i s t P a r t y
put f o r w a r d the f o l l o w i n g demands in their programme f o r the
soldiers: Point 12: A b o l i t i o n of a l l undesirable persons in
c o m m a n d , Point 20: A n n u l m e n t of the order to live in b a r -
racks. " E m a n c i p a t i o n f r o m b l i n d Obedience" and the " D e m o -
cratisation of the A r m y " were the slogans.
C o m p u l s o r y m o b i l i z a t i o n of the w o r k p e o p l e was i n t r o d u c e d
f o r t h w i t h after the Bolshevist dictatorship had been set u p .
Those w h o d i d not obey the order were shot or sent to the
blood dungeons of the T s c h e k a . Instead of the v o l u n t a r y
people's m i l i t i a , there was central a u t h o r i t a r i a n c o m m a n d ,
iron proletarian discipline, the forced conscripts were interned
in b a r r a c k s and the strictest l a w s , courts-martial were set u p .
F r o m the " C o m r a d e C o m m a n d a n t s " the whole a r m y aristocracy
was chosen, i n c l u d i n g lieutenants, captains etc. up to the
red m a r s h a l s . The Soviet J e w , R a b i n o w i t s c h , c y n i c a l l y
a d m i t t e d that the simulated "democratisation" of the a r m y
was " o n l y a ruse to gain c o n t r o l of the a r m y " .
A n o t h e r Bolshevist slogan, w h i c h is widely believed, is the
" E m a n c i p a t i o n of W o m a n " . The pretension is that the
w o m a n must be freed f r o m the domestic yoke a n d p l a c e d on
an e q u a l footing w i t h the m a n . In the year 1924 the C o m i n -

17
tern Congress explicitly stated: " T h e revolution is powerless
as l o n g as the f a m i l y and f a m i l y conditions r e m a i n . " B u t in
the p r a c t i c a l a d m i n i s t r a t i o n of the Soviet U n i o n the actual
way of this highly vaunted " E m a n c i p a t i o n of W o m a n "
shows itself in the fact that, without h a v i n g the right to
appeal for protection, women are forced to submit and
surrender themselves to the a r b i t r a r y demands of the men
a n d they have to earn their l i v e l i h o o d by heavy m a n u a l
labour. E v e n in the labour-camps, w h i c h have the worst
reputation, there are more than one m i l l i o n women.
F u r t h e r m o r e Bolshevist propaganda asserts that the w o m a n
is released f r o m the burden of h a v i n g to look after her
c h i l d r e n . T h i s task is taken over by the Soviet State itself.
At the same time the o f f i c i a l party press is forced to a c k n o w -
ledge that the army of waifs a n d y o u t h f u l c r i m i n a l s is
steadily on the increase. A special a n d i n f l u e n t i a l appeal in
the system of Bolshevist propaganda is the demand for the
abrogation of the legal veto against abortion. The practice
of abortion, w h i c h went on without hindrance for eighteen
years, has become so prevalent that the Soviets w o u l d n o w
like to f o r b i d this practice of a b o r t i o n .
Bolshevist propaganda in regard to the position of women
in the social order reaches the peak of mental aberration
w h e n it declares that in the bourgeois social order prostitut-
i o n is a necessary evil, but that this w i l l f i n a l l y disappear
w i t h the establishment of C o m m u n i s m . There is no country
in the w o r l d where the spectacle of prostitution is so u n i -
versal as in the Soviet U n i o n . E v e n in order to hold their
jobs, w o r k i n g women have to submit to the desires of their
bosses. In the truest sense of the term, w o m e n in this
" P a r a d i s e of W o m e n " are the open prey of the Jewish Soviet
bullies.
T h e " s t u d y - t r i p " made by the F r e n c h statistician, Herriot,
d u r i n g the famine period of 1933, offers a specially crass

18
example of h o w the b e m u s e d p o l i t i c i a n s of Western l i b e r a l i s m
m a y b e a l l u r e d b y Soviet p r o p a g a n d a . O n t h i s p o i n t the
Jewish N e w Y o r k p a p e r " F o r w a r d " , w h i c h certainly cannot
be suspected of p r o - N a z i l e a n i n g s , d e c l a r e d as f o l l o w s :
" O n the d a y p r e c e d i n g the a r r i v a l o f the delegation the
whole p o p u l a t i o n o f K i e w w a s m o b i l i z e d a t t w o o'clock i n
t h e n i g h t , t o c l e a n t h e m a i n streets. T e n t h o u s a n d h a n d s
w o r k e d feverishly to give a E u r o p e a n aspect to the neglected
a n d f i l t h y t o w n . A l l r e l i e f centres, cooperative stores w e r e
closed. Queues w e r e f o r b i d d e n . T h e i m p o s i n g a r m y o f w a i f s ,
beggars a n d s t a r v e l i n g s w e r e a l l r e m o v e d . M i l i t i a m e n o n

o f t h e i r horses e n t w i n e d w i t h w h i t e r i b b o n s — a p i c t u r e
w h i c h K i e w saw never before, or after" (this is a retranslation).
O n e of the great p a r a d e pieces f r o m the a r s e n a l of
Bolshevist p r o p a g a n d a is the c l a i m f o r the abolition of the
a r m y , the d e m a n d f o r " a l l - r o u n d a n d complete" d i s a r m a m e n t .
T h e K . P . D . ( G e r m a n C o m m u n i s t P a r t y ) , under the slogan " N o
more W a r " , " F o r w a r d w i t h the fight against a r m a m e n t " ,
for instance, d e m a n d e d a plebiscite on the f o l l o w i n g p r o p o -
sition:
" T h e c o n s t r u c t i o n o f dreadnoughts a n d cruisers o f a l l k i n d s
i s f o r b i d d e n . " A n d i n F e b r u a r y , 1932, the Jew, F i n k e l s t e i n -
L i t w i n o f f , took o c c a s i o n , at one of the i n n u m e r a b l e Geneva
Conferences, to c h a m p i o n before the w o r l d the p r i n c i p l e of
" c o m p l e t e d i s a r m a m e n t " . U p t o t h e present n o change h a s
taken place i n these methods o f d e c e p t i o n . T h i s statement i s
c o r r o b o r a t e d b y the d e c l a r a t i o n w h i c h the same L i t w i n o f f
made last J u l y , w h e n he s a i d that the "complete disarmament"
was a " m a x i m a l g u a r a n t e e " of p e a c e .
That's Bolshevist propaganda.
A n d w h a t is the r e a l i t y ? T h e peace strength of the R e d
A r m y a m o u n t s to t w o m i l l i o n s , by reason of the l o w e r i n g of
the age l i m i t of those liable for m i l i t a r y service. But to this we

19
must add the trained reserves, w h i c h n u m b e r f r o m nine to
ten m i l l i o n s . In case of w a r therefore they c o u l d m o b i l i z e eleven
m i l l i o n s ; a n d , w i t h i n a practical period of time, even fourteen
millions.
S h o u l d w a r b r e a k out, the R e d A r m y w o u l d b e able t o
issue m a r c h i n g orders to Red soldiers of between 160 a n d
180 i n f a n t r y d i v i s i o n s a n d 2 5 c a v a l r y d i v i s i o n s . Recently
the increase in the tank forces was d e c l a r e d by the Red,
Marshal T u c h a t s c h e w s k i , as 2,475 percent.
The strength of the Red A i r F o r c e amounts to 6,000 planes.
The planes of the First L i n e are divided i n t o 3,100 heavy and
light bombers a n d scout planes a n d 1,500 c h a s e r s . T h e
bombing weapon prevails over a l l others a n d proves that the
Red A i r F o r c e is preeminently a weapon of attack. T h e idea
is that in case of war the b o m b i n g planes s h o u l d be able to
make a surprise attack before the attacked c o u n t r y w i l l have
had time to organise its defence. T h e v i e w of the Soviet
strategists is that the next w a r w i l l be begun without any
introductory declaration of w a r . And it is not generally k n o w n
that the Soviets possess the greatest s u b m a r i n e force in the
world.
The aggressive character of the R e d A r m y is testified by
the aggressive strategy of its leaders. O n e of the great
paragons of e f f i c i e n c y in the Soviet r e g i m e is that of the
"obvious justice" of the victorious Bolshevic revolution on a
w o r l d extension, according to T u c h a t s c h e w s k i , w h o said:
" B o l s h e v i s m w i l l strive w i t h elementary force to embrace the
whole w o r l d by direct influence. Its most important means
w i l l be its m i l i t a r y p o w e r . "
A n d n o w the most i n c r e d i b l e thing of a l l : in spite of this
very obvious imperialistic k i n d of a r m a m e n t , Bolshevic
propaganda insists even today that M o s c o w adheres to a
" p o l i c y of peace", " T h e Soviet U n i o n does not w i s h to e x p a n d
its t e r r i t o r y . It is a l w a y s there w h e n peace is to be defended

20
and m a i n t a i n e d " — t h a t is the k i n d of lies that M r . L i t w i n o f f
casts i n t o the face of the w o r l d . A n d the F r e n c h C o m m u n i s t
leader, Thorez, declares in "Humanité": " W e have s h o w n
that the a i m of peace is inseparable f r o m the p o l i c y of the
Soviet U n i o n . "
In glaring contrast to this systematic campaign of false-
hoods we have the political offensive of the m i l i t a r y pacts.
Under the slogan of "collective security" these were established
between Moscow and P a r i s on M a y 2, 1935 and between
M o s c o w and Prague on M a y 16, 1935.
A little w h i l e ago the M a y o r of St. Denis, Jacques D o r i o t ,
formerly a Communist and n o w a leader of the " P a r t i P o p u -
laire F r a n ç a i s " described the purpose of the F r a n c o - B o l s h e v i c
m i l i t a r y pact in the f o l l o w i n g w o r d s : " A n d when they have
f o r m u l a t e d it in true earnest, when Cachin is President of
the R e p u b l i c and Thorez is P r i m e M i n i s t e r and Péri is F o r e i g n
M i n i s t e r , under orders f r o m M o s c o w they w i l l unleash the
dogs of w a r against G e r m a n y and thus secure freedom f o r
the Soviet U n i o n on their W e s t e r n f r o n t . . ."
A n d the case is not otherwise w i t h the military pact between
M o s c o w and Prague. On December 15, 1935, a Soviet a i r m a n
and member of the C o m m u n i s t P a r t y made the f o l l o w i n g
declarations on that point to a representative of the F r e n c h
paper " G r i n g o i r e " : " T h e erection o f a i r stations i n the
neighbourhood of Prague a n d in the hinterland w o u l d be an
ideal move for us. F r o m these points only half the aeroplanes
are necessary and only h a l f the fuel is needed. Hence it w o u l d
be possible for us to c a r r y an extra three tons of e x p l o s i v e s . "
M e a n w h i l e great numbers of these red air stations have been
erected in C z e c h o s l o v a k i a n t e r r i t o r y . Recently they were
increased t o thirty-six. " S l o v e n s k y D e n n i k " — w h i c h i s
a newspaper published at Pressburg and c o n t r o l l e d by the
P r i m e M i n i s t e r — m a d e the astonishing a d m i s s i o n : " I f t h e
a i r stations are i n t e n d e d f o r the defence of the State, then

21
assuredly n o geese w i l l be f o u n d g r a z i n g on them. T h e y w i l l
be a refuge f o r those f r i e n d s of o u r s w h o m a y find them
adapted f o r use a n d p r o t e c t i o n . " In other w o r d s , these t h i r t y -
six a i r stations are meant to be the s t a r t i n g points f r o m
w h i c h the R e d bombers w i l l attack E u r o p e . T h i s i s a n acute
d a n g e r . T h a t is proved by the fact that the Red bombers
c o u l d thus r e a c h the most i m p o r t a n t strategic points in
Western E u r o p e w i t h i n less than an h o u r a n d could destroy
these. F r o m the a i r bases of the Red A r m y w i t h i n
C z e c h o s l o v a k i a n territory, Dresden, for example, c o u l d be
reached w i t h i n twenty m i n u t e s , C h e m n i t z within eleven
minutes, the Silesian i n d u s t r i a l district w i t h i n nine minutes,
Berlin w i t h i n f o r t y - t w o minutes, V i e n n a w i t h i n nine minutes,
the m u n i t i o n w o r k s in Steier w i t h i n seventeen minutes a n d
the m a n u f a c t u r i n g district of the Steiermark w i t h i n twenty-
seven minutes. The Red planes c o u l d reach Budapest w i t h i n
about six minutes a n d m a k e it a heap of dust and ashes.
That is the story of the Bolshevist "peace policy". On this
spot last year I gave an exact account of how m a n y
clergymen h a d been murdered in Russia and pointed to
the danger of such a procedure being repealed in other
countries. B u t even ecclesiastical circles in outside countries
poo-poohed t h i s w a r n i n g . T h e y expressed the naive v i e w
that B o l s h e v i s m h a d changed a n d that in future it w o u l d
guarantee f r e e d o m of w o r s h i p to religious denominations.
M e a n w h i l e events in S p a i n have shown o n l y too clearly that
I was right. " I n a l l districts in w h i c h the M a d r i d G o v e r n -
ment rules there is no longer a c h u r c h that is open." So writes
the " D i a r i o d e l a m a r i n a " . A n d the Catholic C h u r c h
has even o f f i c i a l l y a n n o u n c e d that in Barcelona alone
250 priests have been murdered and several churches demolish-
ed. That is the k i n d of religious freedom w h i c h one enjoys
under Bolshevist r u l e .
In order to appear harmless a n d bourgeois in the eyes of

22
W e s t e r n Democracy, the Bolshevist "diplomats" have even
copied habits and behaviour of respectable persons, a l -
though the change must cost them an effort. But to us w h o
k n o w the Bolshevist tactics it causes only amusement to see
h o w so m a n y statesmen in W e s t e r n Europe, who otherwise
seem so intelligent, believe that Bolshevism has abandoned
its p l a n of W o r l d Revolution because its diplomatic represent-
atives n o w appear in tail coats and white collars.
A n d yet this varnishing does not seem adequate f o r the
J e w i s h Killers in the Soviet U n i o n . In order to give a f i n a l
proof of its impeccability, Bolshevism has furnished itself w i t h
a " C o n s t i t u t i o n " . In this Constitution the "right of e d u c a t i o n "
is l a i d d o w n , having regard to the 40% of the p o p u l a t i o n
w h i c h cannot read or write. A n d in the same C o n s t i t u t i o n
" f r e e d o m of speech and of the press" is mentioned, in a
c o u n t r y where everything that departs f r o m the l i n e of
o p i n i o n l a i d down by the J e w i s h dictators is p u n i s h e d by
death, as we have just experienced in the t r i a l of the T r o t z -
k y i s t s . T h i s system speaks of the "inviolability of the person
a n d his home and the right of unopened postal c o r r e s p o n -
d e n c e " although day after day the Tscheka gathers in
thousands of distracted persons and shoots them or deports
them.
The " P o p u l a r F r o n t " , w h i c h was founded b y the
Communists in France, struggles " f o r the defence of democratic
liberty, its maintenance and extension". These are the words
of M r . Thorez, the leader of the party. The " P o p u l a r F r o n t "
has come to power in Spain. This "democratic l i b e r t y " is
displayed in f i l l i n g the prisons of M a d r i d and Barcelona, in
arresting and shooting all non-Communists. In this w a y 7,000
have already been murdered in M a d r i d alone.
The phrase " L i b e r t y a n d Rights of M a n " is a favourite
slogan of the Communists. It figures prominently in their
r e v o l u t i o n a r y h y m n . The f o l l o w i n g paragraphs of a letter

23
f r o m the Soviet U n i o n give an idea of how L i b e r t y a n d the
Rights of M a n are treated there:
T h e letter, dated August 10, 1935 states:
" T h e n some hundreds of the o u t l a w e d are shoved i n t o
empty and unheated f r e i g h t - w a g o n s , l i k e animals. T h e y were
ordered to be brought to the Caspian Sea or to Siberia . . .
O n e of the leading Communists said to us: 'Die on the
roadside a n d i n the fields. W e cannot k i l l y o u a l l ; but y o u
w i l l have to die in the gutters!' "
A letter dated June 7, 1935, states: "It seems as if the
crisis were at the beginning once again but it is to be hoped
that the events of the year 1932/1933 w i l l not be repeated
w h e n almost 80% of the deported d i e d w i t h i n the one y e a r . "
On November 16, 1917, L e n i n promised in the " D e c l a r a t i o n
of the Rights of the N a t i o n a l i t i e s " that the peoples of the
f o r m e r Czarist regime w o u l d be granted a u t o n o m y . But h o w
d i d this promise w o r k out in reality for these nationalities?
On A p r i l 27, 1920, the Red A r m y overran Aserbeidshan, in
November of the same year they overran the U k r a i n e , on
December 3, A r m e n i a , and on February 25, 1921 the young re-
p u b l i c of Georgia, after Moscow had by treaty a c k n o w l e d g e d
their territorial integrity the previous year."
In Ingria the F i n n i s h population is being systematically stam-
ped out. F r o m 1929 to 1931 18,000 F i n n s were banished to
Siberia and in the spring of 1935, 9,000 were forced to undergo
the same fate. O n l y two month ago the government of the
Soviet U n i o n decided to drive out another 28,000 f r o m their
native l a n d .
In the Polish-Soviet frontier district 18,000 peasants of
G e r m a n stock " h a d their settlement transferred" d u r i n g the
spring of this year. F r o m 80 to 90 persons were packed into
cattle trucks and sent to Siberia.
Last year 4,000 Carelians were sent in banishment to Central

24
Asia a n d 3,000 to the Urals, where more than f i f t y percent of
them s u c c u m b e d to the i n h u m a n conditions of life and w o r k .
In A u g u s t 1927 the C o m m u n i s t propaganda apparatus
d r u m m e d i n t o the ears of the w o r l d p r o c l a m a t i o n s against
the e x e c u t i o n of Saeco a n d V a n z e t t i . In m i l l i o n s of leaflets
and n e w s p a p e r s the C o m m u n i s t s c a r r i e d on their c a m p a i g n
in foreign c o u n t r i e s for the revocation of the death sentence.
Yet, what h a p p e n s in the Soviet U n i o n itself? In P a r a g r a p h 58
alone of the C r i m i n a l Code, fourteen different k i n d s of acts
are l a i d d o w n w h i c h a r e punishable w i t h death. B y the l a w
of A p r i l 7, 1935, the death penalty was introduced even for
children.
S t a r v i n g c h i l d r e n in an educational institution have often
told h o w g o o d the conditions were that p r e v a i l e d there in
former t i m e s . T h i s fact alone was enough to b r i n g them
w i t h i n the terms of p a r a g r a p h 58. T e n c h i l d r e n were shot
by the O G P U in the presence of their comrades. In a
newspaper article the Soviet Prosecuting Attorney, Wi-
s c h i n s k y , recalls " w i t h content and pleasure" the first
a n n i v e r s a r y of the day on w h i c h the death p e n a l t y for
c h i l d r e n w a s established b y l a w .
A l l these are facts w h i c h are vouched f o r e x c l u s i v e l y by
unquestionable and demonstrable documents originating
mostly f r o m Soviet sources. Last year, at the Nürnberg P a r t y
Congress, w h e n I uttered w o r d s of w a r n i n g on what I
presumed w o u l d be the consequences of the Seventh C o m i n -
tern Congress, held f r o m July 25 to August 21, 1935, the w o r l d
at large w a s silent and showed that it d i d not understand the
import of what I had said. The safe stay-at-homes took our
prophecies as exaggerated and believed that they c o u l d just
throw them to the winds.
T h e r e f o r e I may permit myself to repeat here some of the
p r o p o s a l s that were made at the C o m i n t e r n Congress a n d the
plans that were decided u p o n a n d b r i n g before y o u the

25
events w h i c h m e a n w h i l e have resulted therefrom i n various
countries.
D i m i t r o f f , the accredited agent of the Soviet d i c t a t o r s h i p
for b r i n g i n g about the w o r l d r e v o l u t i o n , h a s v e r b a l l y
declared: "With S t a l i n at the head, o u r p o l i t i c a l a r m y of
millions of men can a n d must overcome a l l d i f f i c u l t i e s , c o m -
pletely surmount a l l obstacles, raze the fortress of C a p i t a l i s m to
the ground a n d achieve the victory of Socialism, t h r o u g h o u t
the whole w o r l d . "
He said further:
" T h e proletariat is the r e a l master of the w o r l d , the master
w h o w i l l rule t o m o r r o w . It must be granted its h i s t o r i c a l right
and in every l a n d throughout the w o r l d it must take the sceptre
of power in its o w n h a n d s . "
"It is v a i n to t h i n k of t u r n i n g the wheel of h i s t o r y back-
wards. No! The wheel of history is turning a n d w i l l t u r n
further i n the d i r e c t i o n o f the W o r l d U n i o n o f the Soviet
Socialist R e p u b l i c s , unto the f i n a l conquest of the w h o l e
world by Socialism."
Such is the programme set forth by this B u l g a r i a n terrorist
for the revolutionising of the w o r l d . As to h o w it is carried
out, let the p l a i n facts speak.
Since this congress, m u c h more than a h u n d r e d C o m -
munist revolts have o c c u r r e d in different c o u n t r i e s t h r o u g h -
out the w o r l d , a m o n g them the revolts in Brest a n d T o u l o n ,
i n August, 1935, w i t h many dead, i n L e m b e r g o n A p r i l 1 8 ,
1936, w i t h 10 dead, and in Saloniki on M a y 10, 1936, w i t h
more than 100 dead. Three armed uprisings, p l a n n e d l o n g in
advance, shook whole countries for weeks on e n d : in N o v e m b e r ,
1935, in Pernambuco, in January, 1936, in B u e n o s A i r e s , a n d
i n M a r c h , 1936, i n S p a i n .
Six attempted revolutions were f r u s t r a t e d in advance,
among them those in December, 1935, in U r u g u a y , in F e -
b r u a r y , 1936, i n P a r a g u a y a n d i n the same m o n t h i n C h i l e .

26
Sixty-two large fires were caused, among them that in L a n -
c h o u i n C h i n a , w h i c h c l a i m e d 1,000 victims. F i f t y - f o u r
a r m e d raids were c a r r i e d out a n d 78 stores of explosives
p l u n d e r e d . Altogether 3,041 lives were sacrificed by these
Bolshevist c r i m i n a l s .
To select a few examples. At the meeting of the C o m -
munist W o r l d Congress on J u l y 30, 1935, Comrade
Dsordsos appeared a s the representative o f G r e e c e , and
outlined a p l a n of action f o r the future. A l m o s t exactly one
year after his appearance in M o s c o w , on August 5, 1936,
Greece was shaken by a general strike, w h i c h developed
directly into an a r m e d r e v o l u t i o n . O n l y through the energetic
intervention of General Metaxas was Greece saved f r o m
being reduced to a state of Bolshevist chaos, and the p l a n of
Comrades D i m i t r o f f a n d Dsordsos frustrated.
W i t h regard t o the s t i r r i n g u p o f revolution i n c o l o n i e s ,
D i m i t r o f f said that the peoples of the colonial and semi-
c o l o n i a l countries no longer regarded their liberation as a
hopeless cause, but tended more and more towards a de-
termined struggle against their imperialist oppressors.
Scarcely one year later a dangerous revolt broke out in
S y r i a , w h i c h cost m a n y lives. The new friendship w i t h
F r a n c e by no means prevented M o s c o w f r o m c a r r y i n g out
its premeditated p l a n in a territory under the mandate of
its a l l y . A few m o n t h s later the disturbances in Palestine
broke out, d u r i n g which the E n g l i s h police confiscated masses
of C o m m u n i s t leaflets and dispersed secret meetings of
C o m m u n i s t agents.
Marques, the representative of B r a z i l , declared at the
Seventh W o r l d Congress in J u l y , 1935, that the country was
hastening towards the decisive struggle for the f a l l of the
g o v e r n m e n t . . . a n d for the establishment of a national revolu-
tionary g o v e r n m e n t .

27
 Three months later a Communist revolution broke out in
N a t a l a n d Recife, w h i c h c l a i m e d 150 dead a n d 400 w o u n d e d .
L u i s Carlos Prestes, the J e w E w e r t a n d the " A m b a s s a d o r " of
Soviet Russia in Montevideo, the J e w i s h f o r m e r f u r r i e r
M i n k i n , were revealed as the agents of the " A l l i a n c e " .
T o come t o F r a n c e , D i m i t r o f f said that the F r e n c h
C o m m u n i s t Party provided an example for a l l sections of
the Communist International of h o w the tactics of a F r o n t
Populaire should be carried out.
Thorez, the leader of the F r e n c h Communist P a r t y , added
that a revolution does not occur a u t o m a t i c a l l y , but must be
organized. We are determined, he said, to f o l l o w the example of
the Russian Bolshevists. We are. . . in favour of the Soviets.
T h e F r e n c h C o m m u n i s t P a r t y has p r o v e d itself w o r t h y
of the praise w h i c h D i m i t r o f f accorded it. Its m e m b e r s h i p
increased f r o m 87,000 in J a n u a r y to 100,000 in M a r c h , to
187,000 in June a n d to over 225,000 in August, 1936. D u r i n g
the same period the number of m i l i t a r y y o u t h organizations
was quadrupled. The number of votes increased f r o m
790,000 to 1,500,000, a third of w h i c h were recorded in grea-
ter Paris alone. The number of Communist members in the
F r e n c h Chamber increased f r o m 10 to 73. The c i r c u l a t i o n
of the newspaper "Humanit-" rose from 154,000 in 1933 to
750,000 for a time in 1936. D u r i n g the electoral campaign f o r
membership in the Chamber, in 1936, 27 m i l l i o n pamphlets
were distributed by the Communist propaganda headquarters.
After their affiliation with the Communist F r o n t P o p u l a i r e , the
trade unions increased in membership from 800,000 in M a y of
this year to 4,300,000 in August.
France is also proceeding to f o l l o w the example of the
Spanish Front Populaire. D i m i t r o f f ' s " T r o j a n h o r s e "
stands w i t h i n the walls of P a r i s .
But nothing provides us w i t h a better object lesson, n o t h i n g
c o u l d convince us more t h o r o u g h l y of the seriousness of

28
the decisions of the Seventh W o r l d Congress, than the
sanguinary a n d a p p a l l i n g events i n S p a i n . T h e y represent
the literal c a r r y i n g out of the directions given at that time.
They are practically the realization of the " F r o n t P o p u l a i r e "
p l a n , w h i c h has attained only its p r e l i m i n a r y stage in France,
but has reached its highest point of development in Spain.
D i m i t r o f f had announced the p l a n of action under a Front
Populaire government when he said that the exercise of the
powers of a government of this k i n d was to be utilized to
prepare the masses for the revolution, and that they should
a r m themselves f o r the Socialist revolution, because Soviet
power alone could provide salvation.
T h e S p a n i s h delegate, V e n t u r a , announced that the exact
programme was as follows: " T h e Spanish proletariat a n d our
p a r t y . . . w i l l overthrow Fascism and the power of the
bourgeois and the owners of the large estates once and for a l l ,
and b r i n g about the t r i u m p h of the workers' - and peasants' -
revolution. . . U n d e r the banner of L e n i n and Stalin, we are
p r o u d l y m a r c h i n g towards v i c t o r y . "
Before the murder of the monarchist leader Calvo Sotelo,
w h i c h took place on J u l y 13, 269 lives had already been
sacrificed to the murderous Communist pest. The F r e n c h
journalist A r m i n j o n reported, for example, that in M u r c i a the
mob seized u p o n two young men who had been said to be
Fascists. They were maltreated on the street, and f i n a l l y a
w o m a n seized a butcher's hatchet and beheaded them both.
T h i s occurred on M a r c h 16, and the names of the two men
were Pedro Cutillas and Antonio Martinez.
The Press throughout the w o r l d had finally to print
reports of the i n h u m a n horrors perpetrated by the Spanish
M a r x i s t s at the c o m m a n d of their foreign instigators. It is
impossible to give even a p p r o x i m a t e figures approaching
the actual facts. On August 19, the following facts were made
public, derived f r o m an o f f i c i a l source: in the city of M a d r i d

29
a n d in its suburbs, up to the present more t h a n 6,000 people
were m u r d e r e d by the Reds, 1,400 alone in the famous
park Casa del Campo. In the largest p r i s o n , the Carcel
Modelo, there were at that time 3,000 p r i s o n e r s , a n d 1,146 in
San A n t o n i o , the total for M a d r i d being 6,000. I have in
f r o n t of me a report by an e y e w i t n e s s , the G e r m a n H e i n -
r i c h s , whose house o v e r l o o k e d the Casa d e l C a m p o , a n d here
quite different figures are given. T h i s eye-witness reports
that u p t i l l August 30, he himself h a d seen about 6,000
people shot. He also reports that on other squares in the
c i t y , in the streets a n d in the houses, 20,000 more were
murdered.
Other eye-witnesses, some of w h o m were f o r c e d to witness
the Bolshevist murders f r o m w i t h i n the prisons, give reports
of h u n d r e d s of m u r d e r s d a i l y . A y o u n g f o r e i g n e r saw w i t h
his o w n eyes h o w in the night of A u g u s t 20, about
200 p r i s o n o f f i c i a l s in the Carcel M o d e l o were m u r d e r e d ,
a n d h o w , on the next d a y , 250 members of the F a s c i s t or-
ganizations were shot in the c o u r t y a r d of the b a r r a c k s . On
August 15 he saw a convoy of 250 p r i s o n e r s a r r i v i n g
i n M a d r i d f r o m A l m e r i a handed over t o the Red m i l i t i a b y
the police escort. The latter lined up 240 of them a n d shot
them on the spot then a n d there. T h e y escorted o n l y 10 of
them to the p r i s o n , so as to have c a r r i e d out their " d u t y " .
A little later the Fascist leaders, R u i z de A l d a , F e r n a n d o
P r i m o de R i v e r a , Cuesta a n d Valdes, were murdered.
The whole G e r m a n n a t i o n mourns for the seven Germans
w h o died a horrible death as victims of the m u r d e r o u s R e d
c r e w . O n their way t o the Recreation Congress i n H a m b u r g ,
f o u r Germans, n a m e d Caetje, Dato, H o f m e i s t e r a n d T r e i z ,
who were also members of the N a t i o n a l Socialist P a r t y , were
murdered by a group of Bolshevists. After a long " t r i a l " ,
two of them were l e d behind a f a c t o r y , a n d the other two
were placed against a w a l l a little w a y o f f a n d the f o u r of

30
them were shot. It was afterwards ascertained that the criminals
had p e r f o r m e d their b l o o d y w o r k w i t h small shot. H o f -
meister a n d T r e i z were so disfigured that they c o u l d o n l y be
r e c o g n i z e d w i t h d i f f i c u l t y by the shape of their faces. M a n y
other G e r m a n s were injured or suffered damage to their
p r o p e r t y . T h e National Socialist, H a n s H a h n e r , was m u r -
dered on the w a y to his w o r k at the Red Cross station. His
house w a s p l u n d e r e d a n d his w i f e left destitute.
N o t o n l y i n M a d r i d , but throughout the whole c o u n t r y ,
there were constant further reports of the h o r r i b l e doings of
the Reds. A c c o r d i n g to the " D i a r i o de N o t i c i a s " of L i s b o n ,
187 people were m u r d e r e d in L l o r a del R i o , a n d 250 in
Constantina.
A c c o r d i n g to the G e r m a n paper " G e r m a n i a " , in Cartagena
600 o f f i c e r s a n d soldiers were t h r o w n into the sea
w i t h stones tied r o u n d their necks. A c c o r d i n g to the
" S e c u l o " , in the monastery of Baena 180 persons were
executed by the Communists w i t h choppers and razors,
among them the priest of Santa M a r i a M a y o r , a n d also
women a n d children. T h e women's bodies were r i p p e d
open. T h e " S e c u l o " also referred to a report by t w o peasants
f r o m M a l a g a of the m u r d e r of more than 400 persons, w h o
were t h r o w n into the wells w i t h weights tied to their feet, or
b o u n d to the tails of horses and dragged through the streets.
A c c o r d i n g to " D i e F r o n t " of Zürich, the Italian consular
agent S o l a v e r a n i reported that a g i r l of 16 f i r e d the first shot
at a p r i s o n e r . The " J o u r n a l de Genève" reported that in
R o s a l de la F r o n t e r a the C o m m u n i s t s l o c k e d 40 people in the
c h u r c h a n d set fire to it, so that they were b u r n t to death.
A c c o r d i n g to " T h e T i m e s " , 400 inhabitants were m u r d e r e d
in R u n d a , about 200 of them being t h r o w n i n t o the Tagus.
A c c o r d i n g to the " E v e n i n g S t a n d a r d " , 51 hostages were shot
in S a n Sebastian on August 14. A g a i n according to the
" S e c u l o " , i n Almendralago General F r a n c o ' s troops found

31
the corpses of prisoners, c r u c i f i e d head d o w n w a r d s on t h e
p r i s o n walls. The " S e c u l o " reported f u r t h e r that 80 p e r s o n s
were burnt alive. A c c o r d i n g t o the " D a i l y M a i l " , i n C a r t a g e n a
50 members of the c i v i l g u a r d were b o u n d neck to neck, a n d
beaten w i t h i r o n bars and t h r o w n i n t o the sea f r o m the R e d
p r i s o n ship "Sil". The same paper stated that the s p e c i a l
correspondent o f " L e J o u r n a l " , E m i l e C o n d r o y e r , h a d
reported f r o m E l A r a h a l that the Reds shut u p 3 0 m e n ,
w o m e n and c h i l d r e n i n p r i s o n , p o u r e d p e t r o l e u m i n t h r o u g h
the w i n d o w and t h r e w i n l i g h t e d matches.
T h e details w h i c h reach us of the m u r d e r i n g of priests a n d
v i o l a t i n g of nuns are inconceivable. T h e f o l l o w i n g are a f e w
examples. T h e " J o u r n a l de Gen-ve" r e p o r t e d that the A r c h -
bishop o f T a r r a g o n a and the B i s h o p o f L e r i d a w e r e m u r -
dered. A c c o r d i n g t o the " M a t i n " , the A m e r i c a n , H e n r y H a r r i s ,
reported that he h i m s e l f witnessed in p r i s o n the m u r d e r of
150 members of religious orders. A c c o r d i n g to the " J o u r n a l
de Genève", the C a t h o l i c w o r k e r s ' leader, D o n D i m a s
M a d a r i a g a , was m u r d e r e d i n P i e d r a l v e z . T h e G e r m a n H e i n
Hausmann reported that in T a r r a g o n a eight priests w e r e
shot, and a m o n k t r a m p l e d on and f i n a l l y shot. Cases are
constantly being reported of priests being beheaded a n d
their heads being dragged through the streets. T h e " G e r -
m a n i a " reported that i n V a l e n c i a w h o l e r o w s o f n u n s w e r e
shot, and their bodies b u r n t . The priests of A d r e r o , L a s
Casas and Torres were k i l l e d in the most h o r r i b l e f a s h i o n .
The list could be c o n t i n u e d i n d e f i n i t e l y . C h i l d r e n often t o o k
part in the shootings. T h u s , a c c o r d i n g to the " D i a r i o de la
M a r i n a " , Raffael O r i o l of La H a b a n a reported that in B a r c e -
lona he had seen many groups of boys under 15 a m o n g the
murderers.
Irreplaceable works of art were destroyed a n d the intellect-
u a l elite of the country was exterminated. A c c o r d i n g to
the L o n d o n " D a i l y M a i l " , the Nobel p r i z e - w i n n e r B o n a v e n t e ,

32
the w e l l - k n o w n dramatist A l v a r e s Quintero and the painter
Zuloaga have been executed. Professor W a l t e r W. S. Cook
reports that in B a r c e l o n a alone St. Anne's Cathedral and a l l
other churches, w i t h one exception, have been b u r n e d d o w n .
The f a m o u s altar wings by V e r m e j o dating f r o m the 15th
century have been destroyed a n d the 15th century C h u r c h
of Santa M a r i a d e l M a r r e d u c e d to a heap of r u i n s . All that
r e m a i n s of the 9th c e n t u r y C h u r c h of San Pedro de las
Puellas is the w a l l s . The famous monasteries in Barcelona
a n d the P a l a c e of the A r c h b i s h o p have been completely
destroyed.
That is the real face of Bolshevist atheism w h i c h has the

C h u r c h e s in other countries. T h e fact that the bodies of nuns
were t o r n f r o m their c o f f i n s in Barcelona is a s y m b o l of the
desecration of a l l that is h o l y by Bolshevism. W h e n Andres
N i n , one of the p r i n c i p a l agitators in Spain and formerly
secretary to the Bolshevist T o m s k y , states, that they have
solved the c h u r c h p r o b l e m by leaving not a single church
standing, we must state that this is the i n c a r n a t i o n of god-
lessness. That is the real face of Bolshevism!
In S p a i n , as in Russia of 1917, and in a l l other countries,
it is the u n p a t r i o t i c and J e w i s h wire-pullers w h o cause and
lead Bolshevist revolts. If they are non-Jews, they have
completely lost their feeling of patriotism.
N o w w h o is to blame, theoretically a n d p r a c t i c a l l y , for
e v e r y t h i n g that is h a p p e n i n g in Spain? A l l these events
represent n o t h i n g else than the execution of the resolutions
adopted i n M o s c o w . The Bolshevist Jew, B e l a K u n , the

support of F r e n c h Communists? It proves that the ringleaders
of the F r e n c h C o m m u n i s t party, l i k e those of the same party
i n Spain, live i n M o s c o w .
There is proof that the unheard-of acts of cruelty in S p a i n
were instigated a n d committed by agents of the C o m i n t e r n .
T h e r e is proof that Soviet R u s s i a provides the S p a n i s h
Bolshevists w i t h f i n a n c i a l , p o l i t i c a l and practical assistance.
There is proof that the last C o m i n t e r n Congress in Moscow
intended to introduce Bolshevism in theory and practice
into S p a i n and that Moscow is now endeavouring to
c a r r y out this p l a n . M o s c o w ' s u n d i m i n i s h e d and even i n -
creased d e t e r m i n a t i o n to b r i n g about a w o r l d r e v o l u t i o n is
i l l u s t r a t e d by the example of S p a i n . Anyone w h o does not
realize this n o w cannot c o m p l a i n about the consequences.
T h a t is Bolshevism in theory a n d practice, an infernal w o r l d
pestilence w h i c h must be eradicated and w h i c h it is the duty of
everyone, conscious of his responsibilities, to assist in removing.
It is not merely oratory w h e n we Germans appeal to a l l the
nations of the w o r l d to combine in order to meet this menace
if they do not w i s h to be d r a w n i n t o the w h i r l p o o l of a terrible
and incalculable fate.
G e r m a n y has given the signal for this w o r l d struggle. We
N a t i o n a l Socialists, as the originators of this struggle, have for
fourteen years been the opponents who fought against

35
Bolshevism of every variety a n d h u e ; we did that under govern-
ments w h i c h were t y p i c a l l y middle-class in character a n d h a d
no idea of the effects of Bolshevism and w h o , therefore,
hindered us every time we wished to strike a decisive b l o w .
It seems almost like a m i r a c l e to-day that we succeeded,
nevertheless, in defeating Bolshevism in Germany. It is also
perhaps a miracle to be attributed to a supernatural power
w h i c h d i d not w i s h to a l l o w nations a n d civilizations, thousands
of years o l d , to be destroyed by the nihilistic w i l l of inter-
national Bolshevistic J e w r y .
We were able to overcome Bolshevism because we were able
to counter it w i t h a better ideal a n d a stronger faith, because
the nation rose w i t h us against J e w r y and the r a c i a l l y i n f e r i o r
u n d e r w o r l d connected w i t h it, because we advocated a " W e l t -
a n s c h a u u n g " w h i c h , in contrast to that of Bolshevism, is fine,
noble a n d idealistic, because in our struggle we were supported
by the people themselves, a n d not, like the middle-class parties,
by those w i t h possessions and culture, because we combined
the attractive force of o u r ideas with the strong f a i t h a n d
political fervour of a n e w l y awakened nation, a n d because we
h a d a Führer w h o pointed out the way from the darkest hour
of our national life to the clear, bright, pure light of a better
future.
It is the historical service rendered by the Führer, w h i c h the
whole w o r l d already recognizes, that he barred the way to the
onset of Bolshevism on G e r m a n y ' s eastern frontiers, a n d thus
assumed the role of Europe's spiritual pioneer in its struggle
w i t h the subversive forces of destruction and anarchy. A true
knight, without fear or reproach, he seized the banner of c u l -
ture, humanity and c i v i l i z a t i o n in his strong hands a n d carried
it proudly against the menace a n d onset of the w o r l d revolution.
He has taught us to despise fear and love the things that are
w o r t h y of veneration, a n d thus restored our respect for our
old national ideals and virtues.

36
 T h a t ought to be a signal for the whole w o r l d . We have
proved under the most u n f a v o u r a b l e circumstances that
Bolshevism c a n be overcome if o n e wishes to do so, if one
uses the proper means and if one is determined to oppose the
powers of destruction w i t h a l l one's strength a n d a l l one's
m a n l y courage. The G e r m a n People h a v e thereby become
happier, and this w i l l happen to a l l nations w h o w i l l have the
good fortune to produce men w h o dare to take up this
challenge. The scales w o u l d f a l l f r o m their eyes a n d they
w o u l d see the whole evil c u n n i n g of J e w r y a n d thus realize
that once it has been recognized a n d seen t h r o u g h , it is neither
clever nor dangerous.
M a y the w o r l d follow Germany's e x a m p l e . Of course Natio-
n a l Socialism is not suitable for export, and other nations shall
not be persuaded or even forced to adopt its methods. Yet it
m a y prove instructive, and its methods of procedure m a y
stimulate other nations to adopt the same course a n d thus
evade a terrible crisis. M a y they do so before it is too late, for
the danger is approaching everywhere.
B u t we German N a t i o n a l S o c i a l i s t s are p r o u d that we have
already solved this problem not o n l y for G e r m a n y but also
for the rest of Europe. A d o l p h H i t l e r , as the leader of this
G e r m a n struggle, has at the same time become the best
E u r o p e a n . He has s h o w n this t o r t u r e d continent h o w to
overcome the worst c r i s i s that has ever threatened it, a n d
thus given the nations of E u r o p e an o p p o r t u n i t y of learning
f r o m G e r m a n y a n d acting a c c o r d i n g l y . F o r the Red enemy
of c i v i l i z a t i o n is at w o r k in every c o u n t r y . T h e whole w o r l d
is in danger. Therefore there must be no more vacillation.
We must be ready to meet the d a n g e r at the decisive h o u r .
T h e Red Menace threatens us f r o m the E a s t , but the F-hrer
is on the w a t c h . Germany, as the outpost of E u r o p e a n c i v i l i -
z a t i o n , is ready and d e t e r m i n e d to w a r d o f f this danger f r o m
her frontiers w i t h a l l the means at h e r d i s p o s a l .

37
 We have b u r n e d out the Bolshevist pest in G e r m a n y , and
there is not a trace of it left in the c o u n t r y . It w i l l also no
longer f i n d a n y opportunity of r a i s i n g its head again in any
w a y or at a n y time. The last sparks of this s m o u l d e r i n g fire
have been t r a m p l e d upon. The former leaders a n d initiators
of this pest in Germany have either left the country or been
taken into safe custody; but most of their former followers and
adherents have long been absorbed in the new great G e r m a n
n a t i o n a l c o m m u n i t y . Regardless of h o w M o s c o w might
attempt to set Bolshevism going again in G e r m a n y , such an
attempt w o u l d be opposed w i t h a ruthlessness that w o u l d
astonish even Moscow. There is no one and nothing that
c o u l d restrain us in such a case. The German nation wishes
a n d demands that we should act thus. T h e people are h a p p y
in the enjoyment of their new internal peace, and by no
means i n c l i n e d to allow it to be disturbed anywhere, at any
time or by anyone. The P a r t y , as the agency for c o m b a t i n g
Bolshevism, watches over the safety of the State and
protects the people and the nation w i t h i n the country,
while the A r m y , as the incorporation of our national deter-
m i n a t i o n to resist and defend ourselves, protects the f r o n -
tiers of G e r m a n y . These are the b u l w a r k s of our safely, the
supports of the people a n d the State. The n a t i o n can feel
secure u n d e r their p o w e r f u l protection.
M e a n w h i l e the Red anarchists in Moscow are a r m i n g in
feverish haste. Their armaments are meant for aggressive pur-
poses, for every Red regiment is imbued w i t h the idea of
World revolution. Every Red aeroplane and every Red gun
is constructed for the purpose of spreading chaos throughout
Europe.
We are unable to influence or affect what other peoples
are doing to w a r d off this danger. We cannot force them to
make sensible and suitable preparations. But what we do is
not determined by paying futile and careless regard to the

38
League of Nations nor to the more or less shortsighted sympathy
w i t h the Soviet idea in other countries, nor yet by vague and
unsubstantial attempts to promote collective security, attempts
w h i c h entangle E u r o p e in a network of incalculable respon-
sibilities. W h a t we do is determined by our duty a n d our
conscience and the feeling of responsibility towards Germany
a n d Europe. The Red K r e m l i n , by extending the period of
m i l i t a r y service, has considerably increased the effective
strength of the Bolshevist a r m y . The F-hrer has not left this
challenge unanswered. By introducing a period of two years'
m i l i t a r y service he has again provided G e r m a n y w i t h the
security necessary to protect us f r o m Red anarchy.
E v e n if other States and governments may thoughtlessly
attempt to make little of the danger by w h i c h we are a l l
menaced f r o m Moscow, we do not allow ourselves to be
m i s l e d ; we pay little attention to what the Moscow Jews are
s a y i n g — t h e important thing for u s i s what they do.
We have seen through them, and counter every move they
m a k e w i t h absolute precision and logicality.
B u t the German People can now once more carry on their
work reassured a n d in p e a c e . T h e Reich is safeguarded and
protected; the Red onset f r o m the East w i l l be checked by
the b u l w a r k s of National S o c i a l i s m . But above the nation
stands the Führer as the faithful P a l a d i n of his people, well-
tried in need and danger, and inspired solely by the fanatical
determination to m a k e Germany once more p r o u d , r i c h and
h a p p y . The Party watches over our safety at home a n d the
A r m y over our safety on the frontiers. But both obey with
joy and determination the orders of the o n e m a n w h o
stands before us as the outpost of his o w n people and the
pioneer of a better, sincerer, nobler a n d happier E u r o p e . [END]
