race. All mankind was divided into two groups--dolicephalous and the
brachicephalous, according to the shape of the skull. Another scientific
classification divided men into the light-haired and dark-haired. The
dolicephalous (arched heads) represented purity of race and superior
mentality. The brachicephalous (flat heads) were mongrels with all the
stigma of degeneration. The German, dolicephalous par excellence, was
the only descendant of the primitive Aryans. All the other nations,
especially those of the south of Europe called "latins," belonged to a
degenerate humanity.

The Spaniard could not contain himself any longer. "But no person with
any intelligence believes any more in those antique theories of race!
What if there no longer existed a people of absolutely pure blood, owing
to thousands of admixtures due to historical conquests!" . . . Many
Germans bore the identical ethnic marks which the professor was
attributing to the inferior races.

"There is something in that," admitted Hartrott, "but although the
German race may not be perfectly pure, it is the least impure of all
races and, therefore, should have dominion over the world."

His voice took on an ironic and cutting edge when speaking of the Celts,
inhabitants of the lands of the South. They had retarded the progress
of Humanity, deflecting it in the wrong direction. The Celt is
individualistic and consequently an ungovernable revolutionary who tends
to socialism. Furthermore, he is a humanitarian and makes a virtue
of mercy, defending the existence of the weak who do not amount to
anything.

The illustrious German places above everything else, Method and Power.
