Nor must we forget that these rulers belong to a nation' which combines a rare mixture of i.estial mirror with an inconceivable gift of lying, and to-day more than ever before believes itself called upon to impose its bloody oppression on the whole world. . . /One does not conclude a treaty with someone whose sole interest is the destruction of his partner Above all, one does not make them with parties to whom, no treaty vyoula be sacred, since thev inhabit this world, not as the advocates of honour and truthfulness, but as the advocates of lying, deceit, theft, rapine, and plundering. . . . “ Germany is to-lay the next groat battle aim of Bolshevism. . • . “ The struggle against Jewish Bolshevisation of the world requires a clear attitude towards Soviet Russia. ion cannot drive out the devil with Beelzebub. ... . “ I do not forget the constant impudent threat which the then pan-Slav Russia dared level against Germany, 1 do not forget constant practice in mobilisations whose sole point was to offend Germany; I cannot forget Jie attitude of Russian public opinion which, oven before the War, outdid itself in hateful sallies against our nation and Reich, cannot forget the influential Russian Press which always was more enthusiastic for France than f °“ Blit despite all that there had also been an alternative before the \\ ar; one could have relied on Russia in order to turn against England. . “To-day relations are different.
