Colonies for Germany By Karl Heinz Dahlfeld Peters
On 10 September 1918 a German man died at Bad Harzburg, tired and worn out, lonely, hated and derided: On 10 September 1918 Carl Peters died. It is not beautiful to write his history, and also not beautiful to read it, because but little can be found therein about happiness and victory, but a great deal about fight and want and sorrow and bitterness. It is the history of a man who fought for his country with unheard-of passion, who wanted to conquer for it sun and land, but who, at that time, was not understood by his people. And therefore it becomes also the story of hate and meanness, folly and fraud, and that, for a German, is probably never beautiful to read, but often wholesome. * * *
In the Wilhelm street in Berlin the privy councillors are sitting at big desks and are shaking their heads: "No, no, we do not want colonies yet, the time has not come. Only the twentieth century is suitable for colonization." Peters is desperate, he makes objections, Britain also didn't wait and has been colonizing for generations already, and there isn't much left of the world anyway. The privy councillors, however, remain firm: "No!" * * *
Peters is fighting a lonely battle. He has enough opponents in the world, but enemies, enemies he has only in Germany. When he speaks in the Johannesburg Rand-club about his plans, the phlegmatic Englishmen even listen and are prepared to learn. And then one day Peters received the offer from London to become an Englishman. Now, he was fighting and had made himself ill and miserable for Germany, and the recognition, recognition comes from the opponent. Peters declines!
Finally it happened: Peters is recalled and put before a disciplinary court. Peters to be tried, a sad spectacle. The result is his dismissal. In Munich, afterwards, there is a trial against the ugly barrel shaped Gruber, editor of the "Muenchener Post" and this trial restores his honor, but does not bring him new employment.
And so "Haenge-Peters" disappeared in the loneliness. Against all the world he could succeed, but against the German bourgeois

he had been helpless. In the files he was listed as an "U.U." [Unbequemer Untergebener], an "inconvenient subordinate", but in life he was a wonderful man. Luederitz at least had a fortune, and Nachtigal even had an official mission, but Peters, Peters had nothing, nothing, nothing! He traveled back as a steerage passenger, and the letter of protection came only after he won over the chief of Uganda, but soon after that came his dismissal. Shall we praise him now? It appears, however, as if the German people do not have the right anymore to praise him or to blame, they can only ask for forgiveness. Once he said he would send his files down from the sky to the highest authority, but Cecil Rhodes pronounced the sentence: "He has conquered Africa for the Germans, but Germany did not want to accept it."

[Page 192] The Jewish Dictatorship.
With this constitution a situation has developed which was recognizable since the foundation of this country, that is, the development toward dictatorial power of one individual man and his circle. At the same time the real power was taken over by that race which played a decisive role in the downfall of the old Reich and in the formation of the new republic : the Jewish race! Whoever considers Soviet Russian affairs must, in order to understand these happenings, concern himself with the Jewish race. Because everywhere in the decisive key positions of the Soviet system and of the communist party are Jews.
The liquidation of 15 million Russians and the extermination of the intelligensia and Russian leadership are also a product of the Jewish race, like the bombastic propaganda with which the actual needs, the existings .gaps, the insufficiency in the organization of the state administration are being covered up. Bolshevism and Judaism are one thing, because the Jewish element is the authoritative and decisive element in the leadership of Bolshevism. Now as before Jews are represented five to fifteen times as much in the leading offices of the party and state administration as among the party mass, and ten to thirty times stronger than according to their population ratio. They are the representatives of the new bourgeois in Soviet Russia, the only ones who actually benefit from this system; and the politics and tactics they pursue are intended to remove systematically the Russian spirit from the schools and institutions of education and replace it with the Jewish one. Russia, today, is under a Jewish alien sovereignty; it is true that Stalin is no Jew, but all impor-

tant key positions, be they in foreign politics or in the secret police (GPU, Tsheka) or in the internal administration, or in the political set-up of the Red Army, are occupied by Jews. It is not the question of a few men especially outstanding like Kagano-witseh or Litwinow; nor do we mean those fallen giants who have since disappeared in the depths, like Trotzki, Dserschinski or Jagoda. It is a question of the crimes of the Jewish race in Soviet Russia which is connected inseparably with the spilled blood of millions of dead in history. From it emanate the powers of destruction which guide Russia into the world. They act according to the program of their racial comrade Marx. It is they who oppress the worker and peasant and carry out a system which today rests like one heavy chain on the Russian people and makes impossible all efforts of a self-deliverance. * * *
