English Translation
3 The rapidity with which this organization follows the advancing armies. Trade apparently still follows the flag, and behind all the talk about the liberation of Europe seems to be stuck as only patriotic and humanitarian reasons. The banks have already established themselves in Sicily. Barclays Bank has immediately taken up its business in Abyssinia after the Italians were out, it has since established branches in Tripoli and Benghazi. It represents, among other things, the United Kingdom Commercial Corporation, the official body in which private capital is very interested. This is perhaps also the reason why the bank was able to increase its assets by 30 percent in the last financial year. While the soldiers are dying, the bankers add up their profits. While London's city earns its profits from the conquests, the smaller nations raise passionate protests against the further expansion of the Amgot. In Whitehall, all annexation intentions are officially denied, but the small nations simply refuse to forget the consequences of the last war. Even then, the great allies fought only for the freedom of the small peoples and the virtues of civilization. At the conclusion of the peace, however, it suddenly turned out that the British Empire had expanded by about a million square miles." Today, the Anglo-Saxons deliver promises on the current bond about the golden age of the economy after the victory, about the evil countries of the tripartite pact. The pity for the small peoples "under which the Nazi regime" flows. If somewhere a cool test is needed in the light of already existing samples, then the sirens of the West are above all of the USA. One thing is certain: all American plans, even more serious, are under the unwritten sentence: America first. All the serious viewers of the American war economy predict an economic crisis that is related to the post-World War I economic crisis and its intensity to the present day, in view of the completely unregulated economic constitution. In this direction, the test balloons at the Hotsprings conference, as well as similar companies and thoughts, were treacherous enough: the binding determination of Wallstreet's uniformly directed world economy of the individual countries on certain economic monoculture. That is only seemingly utopian. It will be remembered that this kind of economic governance is already a fundamental part of the imperialist policy of the Anglo-Saxons; countries such as Egypt, but also South American states possess their apparent state independence only because they have long been relentlessly chained to the wagons of the British or Americans with the chain of economic monocultirs. The tremendously forced production apparatus that the US has built up for the war economy is identical to the threat of a renewed, monstrous unemployment in North America, if they do not succeed in securing the markets that are then necessary for the military apparatus converted to peace production. This last purpose, for which the business war is only the means at all, is already served by the USA's strategic plans for power and wisdom.
