Of course, this is talk, so far as the United States is concerned, but it might mean something to the smaller nations of central Europe, which have German peo- ple within their borders and among their etetigens. ~~~“Dr. Wilhelm Frick declares that “the world must know that Germany does not reg to tolerate the mistreatment of her ratid] comrades outside the Reich bor- i@@ers’-and that “Germany must demand » that her brothers outside her borders be safeguarded in cultural and racial re- spects.” That, he concludes, “is not ex- clusively a domestic matter for the ruling rations but an international question deep- ly touching Germany.” By thus injecting such a claim into in- ternational affairs the German govern- ment is apparently laying the way for in- tervention in other countries in favor of German minorities. While the doctrine un- doubtedly is aimed at Czechoslovakia and other European nations it would also have an application’ in South American ‘coun- tries where there. are German citizens. Thus it couf@ provide a pretext for armed intervention” e affairs of any nation in the world im@which a few German people live. = Just how much trouble:it can eause in | Europe is seen by the fact that’ the Ger- man doctrine conflicts with the claims of all countries having. German minorities, including Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hun- gary, Yugoslavia and Rumania. It even | conflicts with the policy of Germany her- self in dealing with minority groups with- in' her own borders.
