...plan for a war in which "mankind might derive a biological benefit" requires that the minimum age limit for service should be set at 45 years. Professor Hooton also adds that he would send out the statesmen and diplomats that make wars "to lead reconnoitering parties, as did the late General Werner von Fritsch...

In the light of this, Russia was forced into a rapprochment with the Nazis...
...other words, the true democrat is he who with purely nonviolent means defends his liberty and therefore his country's and ultimately that of the whole of mankind. In the coming test, pacifists have to prove their faith by resolutely refusing to have anything to do with war. . . .
