231. If we set ourselves to multiply, as we did in the first five years of this century, then the German people would in 1950 number 118 millions, and in the year 2000, 250 millions. Then we could face the future with considerably more confidence.--PROF. M. V. GRUBER, D.R.S.Z., No. 30, p. 25. 232. Germany--of this I am convinced--may in less than two centuries succeed in dominating (_beherrschen_) the whole globe (_Erdkugel_), in part directly and politically, in part indirectly, through language, methods and Kultur, if only it can in time strike out a "new course," and definitely break with Anglo-American methods of government, and with the State-destroying ideals of the Revolution.--H.S. CHAMBERLAIN, P.I., p. 88. 233. If every representative, rising to the height of the great time in which he lives, will put away from him all pettiness of spirit ... we shall be an unconquerable people, capable of ruling the world.--C.L. POEHLMANN, G.D.W., p. 11. 234. Where self-interest ends the real patriotism begins; and its measure is not the loud chest-note of conviction, but self-sacrificing, untiring work in the service of the community, in order gradually to win for the German nature (_Wesen_) the first place in the world.--PROF. G.E. PAZAUREK, P.K.U.K., p. 5. 235. Just such a systematic transformation of the world as Augustus effected, Germany must now undertake--but on how much nobler a plan!--H.S. CHAMBERLAIN, K.A., p. 42. 235a. Germany will be the schoolmaster of all the world, as every German has a bit of the schoolmaster in him.--PROF. W. V. BLUME, D.D.M., p. 25. _Compare No. 82._ 236. The war must last until we have forced disarmament upon our enemies. There is a nursery rhyme which runs thus:-- Knife and scissors, fork and candle, Little children must not handle. Since the enemy States behave so childishly as to misuse their arms, they must be placed under tutelage. Moreover, our enemies have acted so dishonourably that it is only just that rights of citizenship should be denied them.... When they can no longer bear arms, they cannot make any new disturbances.--O. SIEMENS, W.L.K.D., p. 47. 237. We must establish ourselves firmly at Antwerp on the North Sea and at Riga on the Baltic.... At all events we must, at the conclusion of peace, demand _substantial expansions of the German Empire_. In this our motive will not be the greed and covetousness of world-ruling England, nor the national vanity of _gloire_-seeking France, nor the childish megalomania of Rome-mad Italy, nor the insatiable craving for expansion of semi-barbarous Russia.--PROF. E. HAECKEL, E.W., p. 122.
