In a variant of p. 14 (in B 137/8) one reads: "Les allemands, jusqu'aux démocrates les plus avancés qui s'appellent socialistes, rêvent la domination de la race germanique en Europe. Cette [sic] rêve se traduira en action, grâce à la centralisation de l'Allemagne sous un gouvernement militaire, tel qu'il n'a jamais existé dans le plus beaux jours de l'Empire germanique".
In a variant of p. 18 (in B 137/8) it is said by "Heine" that "la même opinion est loin d'avoir la même signification, chez les hommes de races diverses. Quelle ressemblance y a-t-il, en effet, entre les opinions de M. Charles Marx et du feu Lassalle, --deux autres juifs allemands, que je réclame pour moi, --et ces même opinions, professées par leurs amis politiques de race germanique? Aucune".
On p. 18 of still another variant (also B 137/8) "Heine" adds: "Aussi ne sourait-on établir aucune analogie entre la démocratie allemande: un conservateur français est plus révolutionnaire qu'un démocrate français et ce que vous [Börne] appelez de la démocrate germanique. Une guerre de l'Allemagne contre la France est toujours, entendez-vous bien? toujours une guerre contre-révolutionnaire".

Draft of a speech prepared by Hess for the Congress of the International in Basel. There is no stenographic record of the Congress. In the official record of the Congress Hess is mentioned in only one sentence. ( Association Internationale des Travailleurs. Compte-rendu du IVe Congrès International tenu à Bâle, en Septembre 1869. Brussels, 1869, p. 72) The Vorbote IV (1869), 149 is not more elaborate. It is therefore difficult to establish whether Hess really delivered the speech as it is drafted in this MS.
