QUARRELSOME
A GERMAN CHARACTERISTIC
"The Germans are a quarrelsome people. The atmosphere is always full of accusations and bickerings. Family life is filled with ferocious squabbles, the trait of seli-assertive-ness and combativeness flavours all large organisations and enterprises. Germans do things so well that they are always inclined to overdo them. If life were a science the Germans would have us beaten; but life is an art. It cannot be merely learnedit must be felt and perceived. This is a fortunate thing for the rest of us. Nazi speakers proclaim: 'We must restore the Germany of Bismarck, when we were feared and respected.' Only by putting their feet upon the necks of other people could the Germans recover that sense of superiority."—D. Miller, formerly correspondent in Berlin.
