national unity by exchanges of visits between
provincial peoples; (3) by playing a role in
industrial relations; and (4) by serving as a
vehicle for National Socialist propaganda, particularly 
in its educational work. The National
Socialists claim that by giving the worker tried
and tested entertainment they offer him a greater
value than he would receive from a wage increase
which he might spend foolishly. They also emphasize 
the part Strength through Joy is playing in
creating a new relationship between the industrial 
workers and the community based on mutual benefits 
and responsibilities.
 
 The success of Strength through Joy seems to
be due to the Party organization and authority
which facilitates its operation, and to the nature
of the German masses who are gregarious and who
have never been offered similar opportunities for
vacation travel. A similar movement instituted
in a more individualistic environment might have
to be kept free from the tinge of "proletarianism."
