TEUTON PERIL

Movement of Adolph
Hitler Grows In
German Unrest

LONDON, Aug. 3.-The Ill wind
OF political turmoil Is blowing good
TO the extreme nationalist faction
in Germany, and may save Adolph
Hitler and his German Fascists
from the defeat TO which they
seemed doomed a short while ago.
Hitler. the amazing housepaint-

National Socialist leader. appeared
q few months ago to be on the
way out. Despite the triumph Of
his party at the polls last fall.
when $500, 900 cast their ballots 10
elect LOT Fascist members to the
Reichstag, later events and firm
opposition by the Republican gov
eminent appeared to have doomed
the star Of Hitler TO extinction.
But again it blazes up with re-
newed heat and light. For the
wavering Of the German banking
system, and the possibility that
France will insist on still further
political concessions from Ger

Hitler, leader OF the violent ma
tionalist wing of German opinion,
once said that General Hunger,
General Unemployment, and Cen
eral Taxes were his best staff Of
ficers in the fight for the control
of Germany. All these warriors
are stronger today than they have
been since the period Immediately
after the war when the Republic
came so near TO collapse.
Opportunity Beckons
And none gloated than
Adolph Hitler when 1t was rumor-
ed that President Won linden
burgh and his government might
resign rather than try to impose
further hardship On the German
people. Should the present re-
gime be compelled to give way TO a
wave OF German indignation over
further concessions to France.
Hitler might be in a position TO
step forward and seize the power.
For Hitler's is the faction in
Germany which has always de-
nounced as traitors those who
agreed TO the Versailles Treaty
and all the later ~reparations plans
for "the e.. lavement OF Ger

starting the World War, denied

Evidence of Unrest
That the Hitler hurricane rises
again, is evidenced by such straws
