NAZI COMMANDMENTS
REMARKABLE SLOGANS DIRECTIONS FOR GERMANS. • . BERLIN, May 27. Loud speakers and posters all over Berlin to-day drummed in General Goering’s nine commandments. They are couched in jingling couplets and no English translation can convey adequately the suggestion of rhyme or meter. General Goering has based most of them on quotations from Frederick the Great,- and they are designed to meet the case of every German. Girls, for example, are told: — Take saucepan, broom, and dustpan in your hand And you’ll quicker get a man. The slogan for' industrial leaders is:— Killjoys steal our bread and feed, Optimism conquers need. The smartest quip tells State servants : Red-tape experts ought to learn In modern days such methods to spurn. The urge to lads is:— Take your shovel in your hand, Get a move back to the land.
