>>14120536>Even in Pan-German circles one heard the opinion expressed that the AustrianGermans might very well succeed in Germanizing the Austrian Slavs, if only the
Government would be ready to co-operate. Those people did not understand that a
policy of Germanization can be carried out only as regards human beings. What they
mostly meant by Germanization was a process of forcing other people to speak the
German language. But it is almost inconceivable how such a mistake could be made as
to think that a Nigger or a Chinaman will become a German because he has learned the
German language and is willing to speak German for the future, and even to cast his
vote for a German political party.
