YOUTH IN DICTATORSHIPS.
u Two faote muri str&e any irapartial observer of the young Nazis in Germany or the young Faaoiats in Italy. The first is their real .sincerity, their passion of oonviotion. To deny the sincerity of these hundreds of thousands of young men is to make all soientifio analysis of the phenomena of our time impossible. But i£ it be silly to deny their sincerity it is sillier still to assert that they htfve arrived at their hatred of Communisp or Liberalism by any impartial or ob j entiv e examination of Commumszn or Liberalism. Xi Their 'eonvictions' oonsist in a parrot repetition of incantations the meaning of which they plainly do not understand. They hate the Communist in the same way that the Catholic peasant of the fifteenth century hated the heretie or both bated'witches.'^Sir Norman Aneell.
