THE CONDITION OF EUROPE
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIII,—Please allow me to object to one sentence in the ahoy:- mentioned article, which reads : " lf, by the miracle at which the political prophets in their desisiir are clutching, some solution bringing real relief to Germany is reached, then the party of order may yet hold its own against a party which, whether it aims at anarchy or not, is, according to universal belief of all but its own supporters, incapable of saving the count ry from the anarchy into which lax or incompetent administration would immediately plunge it."
As far as the Nazis (Hitler Party) is concerned there is no universal belief " that this party will fail after coming to power ; neither is there " tmiversal belief " that the Hitlerites will be "incapable of saving the country:' Only these Germans and foreigners who are prejudiced against the Nazis are inclined to take this point of view.
May I remind you of the dark prophecies in most of the press when Field-Marshal von Hindenburg was elected in 1925, or when Mussolini made his successful march to Rome ? After all, more than fifteen millions of Germans gave their confidence to the Hitler Party, and the only consequence is to give them their chance. It is no good to discredit them beforehand, and tomy mind it is very un-English not to give them their chance and fair play. If this article speaks—and quite rightly—of " anarchy " and " lax or incompetent administration," the question may be allowed, who brought Germany to the present plight, the " party of order "—as the author calls the present Government of Germany—or the Hitlerites ? I think it is advisable to judge from facts and not from mere German anti-Hitler propaganda.—I any Sir, &c., DR. H. Most - (London Correspondent of Volkischer Beobachter).
