BEING PUNISHED
GERMANY'S PLIGHT
"Is not Germany being punished already? lis there one of her victims who would change places with her? The spiritual home of philosophers, scholars and musicians is now a
slave state, where no one dares to sneak without looking round to see if a spy is listening; where the chairs at famous universities are occupied by trembling sycophants who expound Nazi history, Nazi scholarship and Nazi mathematics: where the young are systematically corrupted by venomous lies, where scientists are compelled to support a theory of racialism which is ridiculed by all who know anything of the subject; where books are placed on the index and burnt; where a'.l the precepts of religion and the principles'of morality which have been part of tradition in civilised countries for two thousand years are rejected and derided. "What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" No such spiritual apostasy, no such intellectual degradation, has ever before befallen a great nation."— Dean Inge, the ex-Dean of St. Paul's, in the Church of England
