NAZISM IN AMERICA
" American 'opposition to Fascist principles is praiseworthy, but only strictly effective within the boundaries of this country. If this is a counsel of impotence, Americans can find justification in the facts that German Nazism presents no serious threat to this political scene, and, furthermore, that its native characteristics vvill necessarily limit its spread in Europe; its essentially German traits and its fallacious economic basis will prove more effective stumbling blocks than all the propagandist imprecations breathed from abroad. Finally, Americans who realise that a European war cannot leave them unscathed and resent Nazism as a threat to peace, should apportion the blame for this pathological growth among the nations who helped bring it about through their greed — and Americans have not themselves been entirely innocent. For it is premature and undiseriminating for a professedly pacific people to deliver quick-trigger judgments upon a whole nation with whom there is no inherent basis | for antagonism — for strategic, racial, or economic reasons.-— Current { Qpjjqipm
