seem to be primarily important: first, the National 
Socialist system of government and, secondly, 
the nature of the German people. Without
the Labor Front there would be no Strength through
Joy, and without the Party, no Labor Front.  The
Party furnishes the organization upon which is
grafted that of the Labor Front, and in addition
provides the necessary authority to carry through
all projects officially endorsed by the latter.
while Strength through Joy seeks arrangements with
private enterprises as mutually profitable to both
as possible, there nevertheless exists little doubt
that it can usually accomplish what it wishes in the
way of hiring specific facilities or improving working 
conditions in particular factories.
 
 This should not perhaps be taken to mean that
an institution such as Strength through Joy would
be impossible to operate in other countries lacking 
an authoritarian basis, although it is obvious
that the existence of such authority greatly simplifies 
and expedites its work. It is learned, incidentally, 
that the Hungarian Government is considering 
introducing an adaptation of Strength through
Joy and it should be interesting to observe how the
procedure may be modified to a somewhat different
form of government than the National Socialist.
