LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

England studied England’s problem as Hitler studied the German’s
problem before and after the last war? NOT bein’ led astray by
analogies, but not blind to analogies. The analogy that most hits one in
the eye NOW, if one is outside the uncharmed circle of your press—that
is your smoke screen—is the analogy of England and of Austria as she
was in her dying years.
You have three races on one hitherto privileged Island. The Irish you
never swallowed, any more than the Germans of Last mark [?]
swallowed the Magyars.
Hitler’s sanity shows in his perception of the difference of races inside
the Austrian conglomerate. No, not conglomerate. Inside the Austrian
stuck together, glued together, tied together with stray string dynastic
contraption.
I don’t want to waste time in retrospect. You are NOW dreaming of an
Anschluss. Anschluss with America. The analogy is superficial. Your
conglomerate of Scotch, Welsh, and English was and is fairly solid. It
has been there for centuries. You have never crushed out the Welsh
language, but the nationalism in those two races has not been political in
times known to living men’s memory, or their father’s.
The Scotch like their own superiority: “Been to London, ’ave seen few
Englishmen. Waal ye see I was seem’ maistly heads of deepartments.”
Aye, see what do you think of the English? Seen none.
The Welsh have dug out your coal and given you singularly little trouble
for centuries. They make a queer noise at the Eidstedfod, and what does
London care or think of them otherwise?
You were not and are not as was Austria on the eve of an internal bust
up. Oh yes, there were and ARE sorrows in common, but not that
particular trouble. As to Anschluss, all the sentiment toward an
Anschluss was external. NO ten million Englishmen, ten million
