TEUTON PERIL

Of FASCISTS
Movement of Adolph
Hitler Grows In
German Unrest

LONDON, Aug. 3.-The III 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-
er, Austrian subject, and German
National Socialist leader, appeared
a few months ago 10 be on the
way out. Despite the triumph of
his party at the polls last fall.
when $4,000 0 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 1t blazeS UP with re-
newed heat and light. For the
wavering of the German banking
system. and the possibility that
France will insist or still further
political concessions from Ger
many, are fuel to the Fascist flame.
Hitler, leader of the violent a
tionalist wing Of German opinion,
ono said that General Hunger,
General Unemployment, and Gen
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 more than
Adolph Hitler when 1t was rumor-
ed that President Won linden
burgh and his government might
resign rather than try 10 impose
further hardship on the German
people. Should the present re-
gime be compelled TO give way 10 a
wave OF German indignation over
further concessions 10 France.
Hitler might be in a position 10
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 ~eItlayement OF Ger
many" This faction has stead
tasty denied German guilt in
starting the World War. denied
any obligation to pay reparations.
which 1t calls a tribute. II would
not be impossible. should Hitler
be placed in power. 70 see Ger
many, through his party, repudi-
ate the whole war debt.
Evidence Of Unrest
That the Hitler hurricane rises
again, is evidenced by such straws
as the parade on July II or $4,000
former soldiers Of the Imperial
Cavalry regiments before Marshal
Mackensen at Dresden. and the
police suppression OF Hitler's
newspaper "Voelkischer Beobach-
ter" at Munich. stronghold Of the
Fascist movement.
The Republican cover n m e
struggles against the Fascist and
Communist tidal waves with every
means at its command. but the
more the boat is rocked by finan-
cial and international crises. the

The financial obligations that resulted
from the World War imposed upon the
world a set of problems of great magni-
tude and completely. In the manage
ment of these problems financial history
offers no adequate precedent. In spite
of the numerous efforts that have been
made to reach a final solution of the
questions of reparationS and internally
debts, these obligations are still the
subject of active discussion. This is
particularly true since the worldwide
business depression has adversely af-
fected the financial position of numer-
Gus governments and created a doubt
ir some minds as to whether the exist
ing obligations could be met.
The American citizen must face the
obvious and unavoidable conclusion that
if the foreign debts are Cancelled he
must pay higher Federal income taxes.
The principal and interest of the Lib
erty loans, f1oated to raise the funds for
these foreign loans must be paid, and
if the foreign debtors are released from
payment the income tax payers of this

country must be taxed to meet them.
There is no other source for these funds
but the pocket of the American citizen.
Against the possible economic advan-
tage of improved foreign buying power
through cancellation this immediate
fact must be weighed, and in view of
its political Importance it would be I'M
fortunate If cur debtor countries were
misled in their appraisal of the posi-
bilities of the situation. For it seems
most unlikely that any change in the
present policy of our Government can
or will be made.
The policy of the United States Gov
eminent with respect to the war debts
has been based on the principle that
the indebtedness of foreign governments
to this country is an internationl obli-
cation in the full sense of the phrase
and that 1t should be Scrupulously lived
up to by all the governments concerned
For any foreign government to repudi-
ate its debt to the United States it is
commended would be to strike blow at
the very foundations of international

The Story the Week Has Told

will be reserved to a governor central
and arrangements will be made to
place in his hands the power necessary
for administration of those subjects.
Moreover, as the governor general
must as last resort be able in emer-
gency to maintain the tranquility of
the state and similarly be responsible
for the observance of the constitutional
rights of the minoriti:s, he must be
granted the necessary power for those
purposes.
LAS regards finances the transfer of
financial responsibility must necessarily
be subject to such conditions as will
insure the fulflllment of obligations in
secretary of state and maintenance
unimpaired of the financial stability
and credit of India.
Subject to these provisions, the In
dian governms Mt would have full finan-
cial responsibility for methods of rails
ing revenue and for control of eXpendi-
ture on no-reServed services. This will
mean that under the existing condition,
the central Legislature and the execu-
tive will have some features of dualiSm
which will have to be fitted into the
constitutional structure.
THE provision of reserved powers is
necessary under the circumstances and
some such reservation has, indeed, been
incidental to the development of most
free constitutions.
But every care must be taken to
prevent conditions arising which will
necesSitate their use. 1t is, for in
stance undesirable that the ministers
should trust to the special powers of
the governor general as a means of
avoiding responsibilities which are prop
erly their own, thus defeating the de-
velopment of responsible government
by bringing into use powers meant to
lie in reserve in the background. Let
there be no mistake about that.
THE governors of the provinces will
be constituted on basis Of full re-
sponsibility. Their ministries will be
taken from the Legislature and will be
Jointly responsible TO it. The range of
provincial subjects will be so defined as
to give them the greatest possible meas
IRE of self government.
THE authority of the federal gov
eminent will be limited to the provi-
.sions required to secure its administra-
'ticn to federal subjects and to dis
charge its responsibility for subjects de-
fined in the constitution as of all
India concern.
There will be reserved to the gov
ernor general only that minimum of
special powers which are required to
secure in exceptional circumstances the
preservation of tranquility and to guar
antee the maintenance of rights pro-
vided by statute for public services and
the minorities."
My understanding is that it is pro-
posedMto require two-thirds vote of
both Chambers to overthrow a cabinet
Of the central government.
Finally his majesty's government
considers that institution in the
provinces of responsible government re-
1uires both that the Legislatures should
be enlarged end that they should be
based on more liberal franchise.

majeSty's government considers that
it will be its duty to insert provisions
guaranteeing to the various minoritles,
in addition to political representation,
that any differences of religion, race,
sect or caste shall not in themselves
constitute civic disabilities.
His majestys government will con-
slider shortly a plan by which our CO.
operation may be continued, so that
the results of our completed work may
be seen in the new Indian constitu-
ton.
IF in the meantime there is re-
spouse to the viceroys appeal to those
now engaged in civil disobedience, and
if they and others wish to cooperate
on the general lines of this declaration,
steps will be taken to enlist their serv-
ices"
Mr.. Macdonald did we'll to empha-
size the immense obligation of the con-
ference to the report of the Simon
Commission, its work having the look

OF that remarkable document. He fe-
licitouSly emphasized that in framing
the constitution for India not merely
British constitutional structure and ex-
perience were being consulted, but also
those of the United States, France,
Germany, Japan, ETC., without bias or
prejudice whether or not his overture
(see quotation above) to the members
of the All-India National Congress, the
extreme Nationalist will be welcomed
or flouted by those gentlemen remains
to be seen. Much hangs thereon At
any rate, no doubt King George had

they had Opened new chapter in the
history of India"
On January 25 the British authori-
ties in India ordered MahlPna Gandhi
Internationally released from impris-
onment; likewise the incarcerated
members of the All-India Congress
Working Committee.
At the same time the ban of illegal
ity on the Working Committee was
removed. The Mahatma had been in
Jail since May last. If the response
is what the British authorities hope,
no doubt there will be a general am
nesty. Civil diSobedience is now rather
dormant, but the boycott is going
strong.
Gandhi is in Bombay discussing the
situation with the other Nationalist
leaders. There are said to be some
$4,000 persons in prison of the $4,000
convicted in connection with the civil
disobedience campaign.
On January 26 there was a debate
on India in the Commons, in which
both Stanley Baldwin, leader of the
Conservatives, and Lloyd George, leader
of the Liberals, declared their hearty
acceptance OF the results of the round
table conference. The only important
dissenting voice was that of Winston
Churchill, who bitterly condemned those
results. Said Mr.. Baldwin: "If the
Conservatives return to power, it will
be our duty to implement the work of
the conference. We must all strive for
the federation of India without denying

suffice, and the business is of supreme
interest and importance
It should be promised that, whereas
the conferees definitely decided on for
nation of an Indian federation they
reached agreement concerning certain
features only of the constitution
therefor.
THE view of his majesty's govern
ment is that responsibility for govern
ment in India should be placed upon
the Legislatures, central and provincial,
with such provisions as may be neces-
Sary to guarantee during the period of
transition the observance of certain OBJ
legations and to meet other special
circumstances, and also with such
guarantees as are required by the mi
norities to protect their political lib
critics and rights.
I'm such statutory safeguards as may
be made for meeting the needs of this
transitional! period, it will be a pri-
mary concern of his majestys govern
ment to see that the reserved powers
are so framed and exercised as not
to prejudice the advance of India
responsibility for her own government.
THE round-table conference DELHI
erations have proceeded on the basis
accepted by all parties that the. Gen.
trail government should be a fedora
ton of all India, embracing both the
Indian states and British India in a
bicameral Legislature.
THE precise form and structure of
the new federal government must be
determined after further discussion
with the Indian princes and represent
atives of British India.
THE range of subjects committed to
it will also require further discussion,
because the federal government viii
have authority only in such matters
concerning the States as will he ceded
by their rulers in agreements made by
them on entering the federation.
THE connection of the States with
the federation will remain subject to
the basic principle that, in regard to
all matters not ceded by them to The
federation, their relations will be with
the crown acting through the agency
of the Victory.

federal basis his majesty's government
will be prepared to recognize the prin-
ciple of the responsibility of the execu-

FRANCE.-On January "a President
Doumergue invited Senator Pierre Laval,
who only the other day failed in that
emprise, once more to attempt to form
cabinet. M. Laval Is a moderate OF
the Left Center who was minister OF
labor in Tardieu's last cabinet and who
is a close friend of Tardieu and BRAND.
He is of an engaging personality. Be-
fore inviting M Laval the President
urged BRAND to undertake the post, but
the latter represented that he would be
more useful to France and the world
by continuing at the foreign office. AS
premier he would have to suspend his
activities in behalf of his grand project
of European federation.
On January 81 M. Laval announced
formation of a cabinet 1t is Right
Center and much more Right than M.
Laval desired; this by reason OF the re-
fusal of the radical Socialists to par
ticipate because NJ Laval insisted on
including one member of Louis MarinS
Nationalist group. Tardieu's last cab
met is almost reproduced In respect OF
both personnel and assignment of port
folios M. Laval Is minister Of the in
terror, BRAND foreign affairs, Maginot
war, Flandin finance, Tardieu agricul-
ture M Laval expects the same fol-
lowing in the Chamber that Tardieu
had but more support in the Senate.
The new cabinet presented itself to
the Chamber on January 80 and re-
ceived vote of confidence, 312 to 258.
Its hold of power Is obviously. precari-
GUS, but there is fair reason to expect
that it will last long enough to pass the
budget and enact a national equip

by Tardieu The ministerial declara-
ton" will receive attention next week.
