Herr Ribbentrop. the Nazi Foreign Minister, has been holding a conference in Koenigsberg, ast Prussia, at which he discussed Germany's new order" with ambassadors and other Nazi representatives in many countries of Europe. The "new order" has never been precisely enough defined by the Nazis to enable any other nation to appraise impartially its worth. When public statements have been made about it they have been carefully—and sometimes skilfully—adapted to the audience, being addressed. A result has been that the "new order" has appeared in a different dress, and usually a most brilliant dress. whenever it has been mentioned. The truth is that the "new order' has been worked out very little beyond the stage when it must only be to the benefit of the Nazis at the expense of every other nation. It must be presented to the other nations as the achievement of a sort of stability which will enable them to enjoy an even course of existence without being subject to the buffets of world depressions and other similar phenomena which have disrupted many a national economy in the past. This stability must, however, be achieved at the expense of progress. The only progress the "new order" appears to sanction is that made by the Nazis themselves; the rest of the world must remain in a static condition. working for regular pay, content to have its three, sometimes two, meals a day. and little more. The Nazi conception of the role to be played by the Herrenvolk in the "new order" is however. very different. The Nazis are to benefit from this false contentment they hope to engender among the working peoples of Europe; they are to live on the fat of the land. For what purpose? In order that they can carry out, their "dynamic" Policy, a What is, this, dynamic! policy? he Nazis do not know themselves. They have a vague idea that it means raising themselves from height to height until the very understanding of height has to be changed to meet the penetration into the political stratosphere which they will have reached. It is a modern tower of Babel. The implications of this doctrine may not have been properly appreciated outside the small circle of leading Nazis who are at present making fortunes out of their holdings in armaments shares. For it is known that by increasing the number of shares on armaments works they have taken over, either by treachery or capture, the leaders of the Nazis have assured fortunes for themselves—provided the armaments works are kept busy! The "dynamic" principal of the "new order" means constant warfare or expansion by some other means, which may not necessarily cause shooting, but will certainly entail the stationing of large numbers of Nazi troops in occupied territories to prevent revolt against the "new order," which thus reduces itself from the much flaunted but nebulous millennium which has been advertised, to a condition in which Goering can buy himself more costly tapestries to adorn his flamboyant country retreats, and Goebbels can buy himself more women. The jackals of the movement are to be allowed small pickings which have been left over by the leaders. The inspiration of the "new order" is its dynamism. It must go on; it must expand. At the moment, it is proclaimed as a "new order" for Europe. But what will happen if ever Europe is absorbed in it?—which God forbid. It must continue to expand elsewhere. It must seek new hunting grounds in other continents, in the Americas or, which is easier, in the Far East. Yet there are still some countries which are blind to their danger!
