The military phase of German thinking carries with it a lesson that is too easily ignored, particularly by those who like to deceive themselves by, wishful thinking. It is all right te denounce Hitler and prove that his word is not to be relied on, that there is no mercy in his soul and that, although a mystic, his concepts are entirely materialistic.
But the fact is that. however outstanding Hitler's delinquencies and crimes, Germany under him has evolved economic and social conceptions quite as novel as its new military technique, and the world can ignore this fact only at great peril.
