While Germany may be geographically located in such a position as to enable her to dominate the markets of her weaker neighbors, this does not mean that these countries will docilely submit to orders from Berlin. The dynamic force of nationalism must not be overlooked. Peoples like the Poles and Slavs can be counted upon to fight to the last man for their independent status. Even if once conquered, such subjects would be extremely dubious allies in event of another world conflagration...

By last fall when SEC finally forced the rest of the industry into line, Mr. Williams was all set to flatten his pyramid...
...they would prolong the war. I can hardly think that the Loyalist government is completely unbiased in its estimate of the outcome of the struggle. That government and those who support it may feel that it is better to die fighting in the defence of their cause than to submit tamely to the possible oppressions of General Franco's government. Though that attitude is a brave one, it would be neither sensible nor even praiseworthy...
