By Wickham Steed World-famous journalist and lecturer on Central European History, King’s College, London. Germany, Italy and Japan have made a pact for the alleged purpose of setting up a “new order” in the world. This “new order,” we are told, will bring peace, prosperity, progress and international brotherhood. Japan is to establish this splendid-state of things in Eastern Asia, while Germany and Italy establish it In Europe. What Have Germany and Italy so far achieved in the way of a new ord­ er in the territories in which they have seized power? The Czechs, the Poles, the Norweg­ ians, the Belgians, the Dutch, the .French, the Albanians, the Abyssin* ians and the Arabs could reply that the fruits of Nazism and Fascism have been enslavement, torture, mur­ der, massacre and tobbery. But the answer to the question whe­ ther Hitler’s Nazism and Mussolini’s Fascism, should they prevail, would in fact give birth to a new and better order in the world, can best be sought in the record of what they have done to their own peoples. They profess to be serving in the highest interests of those peoples. They say they wish to extend to all other peoples the benefits already be­ stowed upoirtheir own nations. What are these benefits? Two Ruined Countries Italy was once a country of brilliant thought, great art and liberal mind. Her people, having gained freedom and unity, lived in peace and in grow­ ing prosperity. Fascism has extinguished freedom of thought, it has made Italy barren IN C A « A D A’S ALL YEAR ROUND PLAYGROUND YES, out in Vancouver and Victoria GOLF is played all year ’round!

What have Hitler and Nazism done ■ for the German people? Germany was once the home of the deepest thinkers, the profoundest students of science, the most ennobling music; the best- organised industry. Under Nazism the oldest seat of learning in Germany has proclaimed that truth in itself can no, longer be the object of study, but on­ ly such truth as may serve the German race. AH men of free thought have been killed, imprisoned or driven Into exile. All upright religious teachers have been persecuted. All children and. youths have been taught to worship Adolf Hitler, and him alone. German children are bidden to spy upon their parents and to inform the secret pol­ ice if their fathers or mothers or bro­ thers or sisters say a word against Hitler or Nazism, German boys are made to believe, from an early age, that their chief glory in life must be to die for Hitler in battle. German girls are trained to become the mothers of children who. may also die for Hitler in battle. Hitler himself has written and said' that the one means of making Ger­ many great is for her to be “brutal", to gain overwhelming force by brutal discipline, so that none can withstand her. There can be no room in his “new order”, he has declared, for pity, compassion or helpfulness to others. It is likely that if Nazism has set up this “new order” in Germany, it Will be more kindly when the “order” is extended to other peoples? I think not. Nazi Germans have been taught that they are the highest human race, whom other races must serve. The peoples whom Hitler, has, for a time, conquered^and subjugated know that the Nazi “new order” is a cruel sham, a denial of every form of freedom, an­ other name for tyranny and slavery. Can these peoples, bleeding under the lash of Nazism, be mistaken? Let. Hitler himself answer. In his “Polit­ ical Testament” he tells Germans that it is “not alone their duty to prevent by force of arms the existence of any country that might oppose Germany or, if it has arisen, to smash it again to pieces.” This is the essence of the “new or­ der” which Germany and Italy pro­ pose to set up in the world. Against its threat to the bodies and souls of men, the nations still free, led by Great Britain and the British Com­ monwealth, are now fighting and will fight until mankind has been saved from the terror of evil. Then it will be the duty of free na­ tions to set up a “new order” from which war will be banned, and peace, prosperity, progress and international brotherhood shall be established in freedom. “A job done well never wants do­ ing again.” “Did you ever try shov­ elling snow from the sidewalk?”
