NEW YORK, Oct. 2 Q.N.S0.

home from abroad, who said:
"The Germans see in the
Hitler program their only hope.
'Hitler says the debts must be.
repudiated. I do not think
Hitler plans revOlution-cer-s
tainly not by force of arms.
But it does not look as though ,,
Germany will or can make her
debt payments" +
