BERLIN, Sept. 25.-Hindenburg,
Bruening, Hitler. Germany past,
present, and future. Among these
three, in their lives and convictions,
is embraced the whole scale of post
war Germany's problems; through
them can be understood the inter
nal struggles of class and adjust
ment which are seething, and which
constantly are threatening to boil
over.
Hindenburg is tradition. Conser-
vatism. He stands for preserving
the relics of Germany's past; the
glorious remnants of the Bismarck
monarchy.
His influence means military
discipline and respect for authority.
Hindenburg never fails to meet an
answering note when he calls on
that authority. 1t is that quality,
coupled with the devotion to him,
that has enabled him to keep the
masses with him.
Bruening and Conservatism
Bruening also represents, in some
ways, conservatism. He is opposed
to any attempt at recognizing, or
reforming society as a whole.
His mind also is set in tradition
because the two dominating forces
in his life have been the Roman
Catholic church and the Germany
army of the World war.
Both these forces clash with the
radical spirit of progress and with
the ideal of Utopian Socialism.
Hitler is youth. He regards HIM
self as representing the future of
Germany. He promises a Utopia;
an empire of the future. All those
who are entirely dissatisfied and
entirely desperate cling to him as
their last hope.
Hitler is the antipode of Bruening
much more than that of Hinden-
burg, because Bruening is seeking to
consolidate the present situation,
and he distrusts all social theories.
Would Reject Conditions
Hitler, on the other hand, would
reject all present conditions, and he
promises to build up new nation
on the basis of a theory.
In this, Hitler appeals much more
TO the theoretical German mind
than Breuning, who is more Anglo
Saxon in his thinking.
How long can Breuning with
stand the onslaught of radicalism
and of Hitler? The answer depends
on an unknown quantity, namely:
on the increase, or decrease of de-
spair, throughout the ranks of the
poor.
Any improvement in the economic
situation is bound to decimate Hit
ler's following. Any aggravation
would defect Breuning followers.

Renew Liquor
 Hearing Thursday
Mascoo Contests Right of Dry Official to Raid Sans
 Warrant

Attorney Robert Sengle of Hart ford, deputy prohibition adminis- trator of Connecticut and Attor- ney Edward Mascolo are billed for a return engagement of their con- test as to the validity of liquor raids without warrants. The hear ing will be held Thursday after noon in the office of United States Commissioner Harry A. Krasow |. Michael Toma, who has pleaded guilty to being the proprietor of the former Diorio restaurant at 231 Bank street, will be the de- fendant. Last Thursday following verbal battle between Attorney Sengle and Attorney Mascolo, Ralph Guerrero, the supposed pro- prietor was not formally accused of violating the prohibition law although his name was on the war rant and a line drawn through it after the federal agents went into a huddle. Anthony Diorio was or dered held for the United States district court under bonds of s1,- 900. His evidence and Toma' s statements implicated the latter and he was released under bonds of s1,Ooo pending a hearing on Thursday. In view of the fact that Toma and Diorio's cases are so closely connected it is believed likely that both will eventually be tried in the U. s. court.
 The arrest of Anthony Diorio re- suited from a visit here last Tues day afternoon of Ralph Johnson, federal agent, who single hand ed made a raid and claims to have found a pint bottle of liquor. He admitted that he had no war rant, but claimed that man pointed out to him as Guerrero gave him permission to look

 All his life Edison had no sense of money. A few dollars always looked big to him.

 Edison was friendly with many academic perst -iages. But he ds- precated above all else the notion that a man must have academic credentials before he was entitled to speak.
 Edison knew that the power loom had been invented by a clergyman. He knew that tho propeller was the product of a genius who never saw the sea and that the sewing machine had been thought out by a husband who worried about the labors of a frail wife with her needle.
 He knew that Burns never saw the inside of Oxford and that by far the greater part of the great work of the world had been done by earnest, enthusiastic men who had been, in fact, no nearer to scholarship than the elementary y grades or a few years in high school.
 He believed that if a man had enough interest in a subject, if
