Decided Against Socialism

ached.
Decided Against Socialism
During lunch, he listened to the
older workers discuss Socialism.
They were nearly all Socialists and
spoke bitterly of the fashionably
dressed mobiles who strolled along
the nearby boulevards of the gay
city.
Their talks, however, did not i'm
press young Hitler. He already had
made up his mind that he would
be rich man some day. Then he,
too, would stroll along the boule-
wards, with the mobiles and their
ladies, and look scornfully upon
those who had to work by the labor
of their hands.
No, Socialism was not for Adolf
Hitler. 1t still isn't.
In the evenings, the boy used to
lie on his bed, in garret room in
the slums, and sketch. He sketched
well for one who never had taken
lessons, and it was his. ambition
to get a job on Vienna news
paper.
So all his spare evenings were
used to perfect his drawing ability
Finds Better Job
Then young Hitler found better
Job. He moved from his garret room
to better quarters, his worldly be-
longings stuffed in an old-fashioned
valise, left him by his father.
The new job gave Hitler more
time to himself and he began to
explore Vienna. What he found laid
the groundwork for what is today
one of the cardinal principles of
Fascism, a deep hatred of all things
Jewish.
The boy, now rapidly nearing
early manhood used to stroll about
the Leopoldstadt, the quarter where
lived Vienna'S poorer Jews.
He listened to conversations,
studied the faces and mannerisms
of his neighbors and carefully
stored the information in the back
of his head for future reference.
Jewish Hatred Grows
What Hitler saw did not please
him. He sneered contemptuously at
the passing Jews, in their long,
black coats. Their excited CONVEX
sations about the prosecutions of
their brethren in Galicia and Rus
sian Poland left him unmoved.
If he had his way, there would be
pogromS in Vienna. Fortunately
for the Jews of the Austrian capital,
their listener was in no position to
carry out his desires.
Today the Jews of Germany wish
the same were true. Herr Hitler has
intimated that when he comes into
power, heads will fall on the sand
And he has limited that these
might be Jewish heads.
In 1912, the son of the late Inter
offizier Hitler of his majesty's inn
perial and royal customs service
shook the dust of Vienna from his
shoes and headed for the country of
his dreams, Germany.
Goes to Munich
He had had enough of the Haps-
burgs, he said to himself, and from
now on he would live in Munich,
where dwelled pure-blooded Teu-
tons.
Hitler gave no other reason for
his departure from the land of his
birth. Today. he still maintains
that 1t was because he was fed up
with Vienna and its inhabitants.
But political enemies hint at an
other reason. They say that the
future Facist chieftain left before
he could be conscripted into the
Austrian army and made to serve
three years with the colorS.
Whatever the reason, Hitler set
tied in Munich, where he found a
lob as a carpenter. In the evenings,
he sketched, selling several drawings
to newspapers.
