A man's eyes should be torn out if he can only see the past

So far, the Far Eastern focal point of danger is the most active.It is possible, however, that the center of the menace may shift to Europe. Evidence of this is provided, for instance, by [Adolf] Hitler's recent interview given to a French paper. In this interview, Hitler seems to attempt to say peaceful things. But this "peacefulness" of his is so thickly interspersed with threats against France and the Soviet Union that nothing remains of the "peacefulness".

I have in mind repeated statements by Japanese military men containing threats against other states.

This war is not as in the past: whoever occupies a territory also imposes his own social system.

In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance.
