THE NEW GERMANY

INTERESTING LECTURE

The profound public interest in the iutriguing problem of Germany's present-day politics was evidenced by the capacity audience at Profc«<or yon Zcdlitz'ts address on ■'The .New Orientation of Uncial Consciousness in Germany" at the Tlieosophical Hall last evening.

The lecturer explained that no understanding of the problem was possible without .1 knowledge of Germany's pre-war psychology and politics, when she was arbitrarily governed by an exceptionally efficient bureaucracy drawn largely from its middle class, its state legislation boiuy surprisingly advanced, benevolent, and, in a way, socialistic. Post-war political systems, fostered by flic Allies, proved, on the contrary, inefficient and foreign to Germanic psychology and tradition, and combined with hopelessly crushing economic bankruptcy, developed inevitably an irrepressible spirit of revolt, resulting in what was practically a unique middle-class revolution. But over and above all was the driving force of a great and virile nation's upheaval against the moral and spiritual apathy and degradation threatening her, which imbued the revolution with something of the nature of the Reformation.

Dispassionate logic and patient explanation of these inner facts and forces gave authority and appeal to the Professor's revelation of what he showed to be something vastly more momentous than appeared on the outer surface—what is really the rejuvenation of a great nation.
