The standards of a democratic, individualistic, capitalistic State, like the United Kingdom, /cannot, therefore be applied to it. The aim cf the party is to assist the small farmer rather than the great land-owner, the small shopkeeper rather than the large store, the craftsman rather than the industrialist. On the other hand, it is also desirous of welding together all classes, and, as will have been seen, of paying (particular attention to the working man. It is opposed to all forms of class warfare, and its ultimate objective is- undoubtedly the Corporative State, in which there will be only a few great corporations, embracing in each case all the individuals belonging to a particular occupation or profession, irrespective iof whether they

■arc employers or employed. This organisation of the Stole will he dominated hy the national and racial creed as professed by the National Socialist tarty.
