...which shows Germany's manpower potentially far exceeding any of its neighbors' by 1970, make them realize the importance of a prompt and effective answer. With a graphic explanation of Sumner Welles's partition plan, and a passing nod to the views of Walter Winchell, Lord Vansittart and John Foster Dulles, M.O.T.'s own implicit answer is: "Be stern...
...exceptional. There was a jabbering fever swirling in his brain, and by phases known to every alienist he passed from loquacious vanity, boasting and shouting, to uncontrolled lunacy. ...

His basic reasoning: The German Right is beyond redemption; its militarists, Junkers and heavy indus trials must be liquidated as a class and as a political force. He growled that the German Left is not much better; most German Socialists have been infected with militarism. In both wars, said he, the Allies have had to fight the German people in arms. The main thing is to destroy their power to rise again: "We must realize that this is by far the greatest, most barbaric...
