The Final Problem

Finally come the problem Of
preserving the wine by adding
alcohol to stop further fermenta-
ton and make it keep. This is
done regularly in finishing some
Of the richer wines like port,
sherry and Madeira, because
they contain so much sugar
though they have only or 8
per cent Of sugar, while lootch-
brew may have 10 or IL per cent.
This process is a real source Of
danger because pure grain alco-
hol being difficult to secure un-
der prohibition, the recipes often
call for flavoring extracts and
essences Of various sorts, some
OF which contain the deadly wood
alcohol.
This sinister poison, which diff
fers from grain alcohol only by a
matter OF two atoms of hydrogen
in the moIecule, and is made. as
its name applies. by distilling
wood. sawdust or woody fiber,

Leader of the German Fascist
Increment, as the National So
ciGList Labor. Party, of Which
He Is Head, is Called.
" HE German National-Social-
istic Labor Party, latterly
- known as the German Fas.
cisti." has for its avowed aims:
1.-The determination of the
Marxistic Socialistic doctrines by
wrecking their organizations and
defeating their propaganda, and
thereby warding off the Bolshe-
vism now threatening Germany
and the whole Of Europe.
2-The arousing of Germany's
national consciousness now afro
phied by the war and its re-
actions upon both mind and body.
3IThe creation of a strong
national government to replace
the present impotent government
which, by its very formation,
throws the government into the
vacillating hands Of a few men.
This, in brief, is the political
creed Of the party with which I
am identified, and the program
20 which we are pledged.

Opposes JeWs

Our movement. and this is a
point I wish to emphasize, de-
mands a government of the
strong men of the nation and
not of weak, vacillating souls,
subject to the will Of the So
called parliamentary majorities."
Only through such an instru-
mentality can Germany ever hope
to rid herself Of the foes within
her own household, and so adj
Just the nations internal difficult
ties as to make IT able to cope
with the foes from without.
Our movement is working for
the cessation of all inner corrup-
ton. for the safeguarding of the
national welfare, and for the pre-
vention of system whereby
the economic resource of the ma
ton could fall into the hands Of
trusts and monopolies.
In a manner analogous to
Americas attitude toward the
problem of japanese immigra-
ton. our party intends to see that
the rights of citizenship are de-
MED such elements of the popu-
lation as are menace to society
and the state.

tureSAnds its economic system.
The world has just had an ap-
palling example OF this in the
case Of, Russia The MARKHAM
doctrine, which led in the first
instance to the Reputation OF the
individual and the state, finally
eliminated in the determination
OF the whole Russian inteIligent-
STA, whether by starvation or by
the gaIlows--and the substitution
Of the intelligence OF stronger
nation, namely, that of the Jews.
Russia represents the most stu
pendous collapse of a government
and an economic system the
world has seen for the past III
teen hundred years.
And even more appalling Is
the thought that there is ap-
parentIy no prospect Of combining
this collapse within the boundaries
of Russia, but that, thanks to
the wide dissemination of the
MARKHAM doctrine, it is now be-
ginning to spread to other coun-
tries and other peoples.

took the places Of the retiring
generals.
Since that time we have been
living In state of supposed peace,
but without the accompanying
blessing which simple minded souls
have been taught were the essen
tails Of a genuine and permanent
peace.
For although the long-drawn-
out war has come to an end, we
have in its place an ever-present
menace OF war. Not even the
boldest optimist would dare in.
dulge in predictions as in the
stability of this so-colled peace.
A disintegration of peoples and
States is now taking place all
over the face of Europe and this
contributes to the general feeling
Of uncertainty.

100000 FOLLOWERS

A year later we only numbered
a hundred. The second year there
were more than three hundred OF
US; and in the third year our fol-
lowing increased to more than half
a million, in fact, in a recent
meeting in Nuremberg, addressed
a mass meeting Of $4,000.
The desperate situation now ex-
listing, the pitiable fiasco of the
government, the intense longing
of the people for strong leader
ship, is daily driving thousands
and tens of thousands into our
camp. And as Germany must be
saved at whatever cost, we are
convinced that our party is des-
tined to play the role of her
saviour.
A tremendous impression has
been created in Germany by Mus
solini's activity in Italy and, un.
prejudiced by his political beliefs.
large numbers Of Germans regard
him as the personification IT
manly valor.
His line of action has had the
effect of strengthening the con.
viction of the best elements OF
our German people that here in
our own country. also, salvation
does not depend upon a majority
of numbers, but upon the royal
majority of will-power issuing
from one individual.
No better proof could b. If.
fered Of the significance of our
movement than is to be found in
the strength of the fight waged
against it. Our organization, for
example, has been prohibited In
Prussia by DIR. Severing, the min
lister Of the interior of a social
democratic government, although
the activities Of the Socialistic
and Communistic organizations
are never interfered with.
We are deluged with villifica-
tons and aspersions. not only at
home, but abroad, and frequently
in way as to indicate that our
accusers have not the faintest

be two-fold: F'irst-A general ex-

powers to whom fortune gave the

to think that this has also given

Devious Reasoning

In this way the people were to
be protected from unjust and pei.
nicious usury.
BY a most devious course of
reasoning, this fundamental prin-
ciple was converted by the Marx
ians into the highly sophistical
one Of reputation of all rights of
private property. But in the
moment that contest the natural
right of a man to possess that for
which he has worked, and saved,
that which he has invented or
achieved. 1 Immediately deprive
the nations economic system of
the greatest incentive to work,
at least so long as men endowed
with all the characteristics and
shortcomings of their race in
habit this globe.
Consistently to support this
doctrine signifies the destruction
Of human economies. Further
more. these two MARKHAM princi-
Piles result in bringing about
sharp class cleavage.
For as soon as I should attempt
to organize men under these two
slogans and weld them into a
party or a movement, I should
Immediately force all the intel
lectual elements to remain aloof
from the movement.
No intelligent person can par
ticipate in movement that repu-
dates the worth of the indivi-
dual; no economic agencies will
ever cooperate with leaders who
reject the fundamental principle
Of the right OF private property.
