RICNT off the bat. wo ought to
explain that there Isn't any
Mich word as HiieceHHoplitlo,
Hut If u word were to bo made
up to deHcrlbn the fellow who wor- j
ships success, any kind of sue- i
cess, atlained by any meana at
all. tbat might be it.
Right now wo are in dmiger of
developing ton many pouple of
Ibis type. We've all beard Ihe
kind of person who looks at Ku
rope with popeyed wonder, and
inuttera to himself, "(losh! You've
really got to hand it to that fellow
Hitler, don't you? lie sum has put
it over! Ho must have some
tiling!" This train of thought Is very
.easy to fall into lhe.se days. Hut
It is dangerous. I
There Is nothing In success It
self Unit deserves worship, or
even reMpetl. Tho thing to ask
is, "What sort of nutuwsH wita
Hought?" and, "How was It achiev
ed?"
It Is certainly true that the mili
tary accompllshuienlH of 1 Miter's
(iermany, slrirtly as military ac
complishments, are magnificent. A
Cerman army bus been developed
which no one has yet been able
to resist.
Questions: How worthy an ob
ject Ik thai? Mow bus thai serv
ed the world and its people?
Question again: How was .11
done? At what cost, and by what
inetins?
Tho answer Is simple: Hy
channeling an unheard-of percent
age uf Ihe proilucllvo ability of
Ihe (ierman people Into building a
military intirhlim. My making
every man a soldier and training
htm for periods of time and with a
lliorouglinesH which oilier nations
were unwilling to adopt. The oth
er nations were ret net ant to lie
liee I bat men were made lor
Ibis.
