The end of democracy in Germany
and the establishment Of Fascist
like dictatorship under Adolph Hit
Ter is one of the aims Of Hitler's
Fascist, or Nazi, party.
Among the schemes figuring large
in the program Of the Nazis, which
many millions of Germans are con-
WINGED will be the next party to rule
the country, are the following:
Abolition Of parliamentary demo-
cracy, or what the Hitlerites call
"mobocracy," in favor of a Hitler
dictatorship.
Revision Of the treaty of YER
sailles and the reparations agree
ments, on which the entire post
war European political and flnan-
cial settlement is based.
Reformation of Germany's con-
stitution.
Erection of an organic peoples
state called the third reich"
Rising Power Feared
Already European chancelleries
have been disturbed by the appar-
ent imminence Of Hitlers rise to
power. AS Germany is in a sense
the political and economic hub of
Europe, the advent of a movement
with such avowed detectives might
determine the course of European
politics for decades.
The question in the minds Of the
closest observers Of Hitlerism is to
what extent the Nazis will attempt
to attain their program If they at
tanned power. AS the possibility of
Selling power and responsibility
grows nearer, Nazi leaders percepti-
bly, have been hedging" to avoid
over-radical declarations of policy.
In conversation with Nazi officials
in Munich, my pointed questions
about many primary points in their
platform were met with such re-
marks as:
Programs mean nothing. What
we do will be determined by condi-
tions and requirements when we at
tain power"
Judging from Hitler's writings
and speeches, the following are
among his conceptions of the Nazi
form Of state:
Keen NatiOnaIism Sought
Violent racial nationalism; bitter
enmity to MARKHAM socialism be-
cause of its internationalism and
pacifism; violent hostility to COM
munism; hatred of the Jews, whom
he would denationalize; hostility to
parliamentarism or rule by major
ity; hostility to international capt.
talism and the loan of capital.
Hitler'S writings indicate further
that he aims at strong economic
nationalism and extension of Ger
man influence over all in Europe
who are racially German.
Reference to the victorious
sword" occur frequently in his writ
ings, and there is also the statement
that the lost German territories are
not to be restored by hope in the
League of Nations, "but only by
armed force"
The principle of the Nazi idea of
a new constitution has been
described as "the authority of every
leader over those below and respon-
sibility to those above" which is
essentially military conception.
italian Facism Copied
The Nazi idea of the mechanics
of government have been worked
out only sketchily but the outline
remarkably resembles Mussolinis
FaScism. For instance, parliament
would figure only as a council with
decisions and responsibilities rest
ing on the party leader. Thus it
actually would be a dictatorship.
The Nazi state would include
occupational and political councils
co-ordinated by a form of senate
and thus would be similar to the
Italian Fascist cooperative state.
The Nazi idea is that only the
leader would be elected. He would
appoint those below him.
One concept of citizenship out
lined In Nazi literature is that men
would become citizens upon COM
pletion of military training, when
they would receive a certificate.
German women would become citi-
zenS on marriage.
Elections Show Gains
The party literature invariably
depicts France as Germany's chief
enemy and England as her best
friend.
Strangely enough, the fact that
Hitler is not a German citizen
SENS to figure little with his follow
ers. They emphasize that it is
merely technicality and that any
way, he fought as a corporal in the
German army. The latter is the
reason why the AuStrianS de-
nationalized him.
He is undisputed leader of the
numerically strongest party in Ger
manq. In the 1890 general elections.
the Nazis were second with 6,50O,O0O
votes, compared to 8,500,000 for the
Social Democrats. Meanwhile, how
ever. the Nazis have gained heavily
in every municipal and state
election.
