To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Machia- velli was the first to declare that the keynote 24 A WAR OF IDEAS of every policy was the advancement of power. This term, however, has acquired since the Ger- man Reformation, a meaning other than that of the shrewd Florentine. To him power was de- sirable in itself ; for us the State" — here he quotes Treitschke again — "is not physical power as an end in itself, it is power to protect and promote the higher interests — power that must justify itself by being applied for the greatest ...good of mankind. " We must not allow our- selves to be misled by the phrase, "the greatest good of mankind, " into assuming that the Ger- man "Idea" hesitates for one moment as to where "the greatest good of mankind" lies. It lies, obviously and necessarily, in the vigorous spreading of German culture, German methods, German efficiency, German science, German obedience and docility, wherever it is possible for German arms to spread them. "The Chris- tian idea of sacrifice for something higher does not, " our authority goes on, "exist for the State — for there is nothing higher than it in the world's history ; consequently it cannot sacrifice itself to something higher.
