Hence the insistence by fhcm that thc war in littrope is not a. war of na- ginm. but (mg of ideologies looking to the tri- umphs of their policies. According to them, not only was it impossible to win the war, but it would not be worth winning if victory did not make a clean svvccp of the traditional pecular- ities of the continmt and its replacement by some kind of a Marxian paradise. How in- sistent have been the demands in the organs of lcft~wing opinion in the United States and Great Britain that unless the governments of these two countries avowed a purpose to as- sist in the establishment of such a paradise, the European peoples would not think it worth their while to resist the Nazi juzzernaut.
