BERLIN, Germany, November 81
A dispute whether the Hessian Ma
tional Socialists intended to murder
all resisting opponents, establish a
reign of terror, conhscate foodstuffs,
put all Germans, excepting Jews, to
forced labor. put all who work on ra-
tions and apparently allow the Jews
to starve-whether this CORY plan,
worthy of Nick Carter at his best,
actually represents the intention Of
Adolf Hitler and his party headquar-
ters at Munich or whether it is only a
wild dream Of few hotheads in Hesse
and, If only Hessian. whether It was
intended to be applied Independently
of any action by opponents or really
as a plan for doing away with the
Communist terror-haS divided Ger
many into two camps.
Democrats and Communists main
tain that a seized document, wherein
these plans are contained, reveals the
true intention Of the party and, there
fore, constitutes preparation for an
armed insurrection against the state,
which under German law is high
treason.
Admits Preparing Plan.
DR.. Best, who is deputy in the
Hessian Diet, admits that he prepared
the document, but only as plan for
thwarting the Communist rising which
is expected August 1. The National
Socialists in Munich, who first de-
clared the suspicious document false,
now say 1t merely expresses the per-
sonal views of DR.. Best
Herr Hitler insists as sturdily as ever
that the party is absolutely legal,
though admitting that he cannot con-
troll the personal views or actions of
its 100000 members. Herr Hitlers
views are apparently shared by the
attorney general at Leipzig, who sees
no reason for making any arrests on
the ground of high treason.
The Prussian and Hessian govern
ments take exactly opposite views.
Both governments threaten to protest to
the Reich. They probably wish to
prove a conspiracy involving the en-
tire party in order to have 1t outlawed.
In this case only, according to many
observers, could the eventual govern
ment of Germany by this party, which
OF the voters Of all Germany, be
avoided.
Jorns Is Involved.
Attorney General Werner has Sc
lected as his assistant Herr Jorns, a
lawyer who Is supposed to have con-
nived at the escape of the murdererS
of Rosa Luxembourg in 1919. Herr
Jorns and Herr Werner certainly seem
to Judge the supposed Communist plots
with different eye than the National
list Socialist uprisings.
1t remains to be seen whether the
government intends to carry out a
thorough and impartial investigation
or, out of fear or secret sympathy for
the Nazis, allow the matter to be
hushed up.
1t must be stated that effectively
there is nothing in the documents plans
which is out OF key with the Nazi views.
To any one familiar with Italian
Fascism and with the close links that
bind the Fascists to the Nazis, there is
not the slightest doubt but that once
in power the NaZis will seek to abolish
the German democracy and perpetuate
themselves in power by the creation Of
a national militia and a reign of force.
The nucleus already exists in Adolf
Hitler'S storm troops.
Provides Police Power.
The document specifically provided
these young men with police power,
since any one resisting their slightest
command was to be shot on the spot"
Furthermore, oepriving the JowS of the
also seems quite within the Nazi inten-
tions
Conflscation of foodstuffs, however,
certainly will not please the rich sub
sidizerS of the party, and the threat of
bloody terror hardly fits the German
character. Therefore, no real Judgment
is possible today.
