Adolf Hitler is great favorite with
National Socialist girls. Has he not

for all Of them? In the gardens of
Treptow his photographs are for sale
everywhere and the great majority of
them are bought by girls.
Men In brown Nazi uniforms fit
about in every direction, their heels
clicking ponderously, their arms shoot
ing upward in the Nazi salute. The
organizers, officials and ushers of the
Summer festival are men, members of
Hitlers storm troops. The women
hold no such ofhcial positions. On the
contrary, many women are seen carry
ing the family food baskets to the
tables-obviously the Hitlerites be-

servant OF the male.
German Men"
And when a speaker addresses the
audience he begins with the saluta-
ton, German men!" 1t Is so accepted
that one is inclined to believe that
should a thoughtless speaker address
his audience as German men and
women he would be booed. Women
are mere supers in the Nazi drama !;
all they have to do is to obey when
their masters speak.

Of rights for both sexes"
If the visitor to one Of these Sum-
mer festivals in Treptow is in luck
he may hear DR.. Alfred Rosenberg, q
power behind and sometimes in front
of the leaders throne, retailing his
views on the problems of women, on
which he is an authority.
Feminine influence ruins the state -
DR.. Rosenberg says. Americas cul-
ture is SO low because of woman's
rule"
The Third Reich, he says, must be
reared in the rule Of the sword, and
women-a suspicious species because
so many of them do not believe in
Prussian militarism-must have no
commanding place in it. Under the
corrupting influence of women, he
warns there is danger that Germany
will return to the idolatrous cult of

virtues of the fighting man.
Sex Equality Resented.
The Nazis' aversion toward the equal
ity OF women Is allied with their aver
sion to everything born in Germany's
shame. Hitlef's movement Is a revolt
not only against Versailles, but against
the social changes that were instituted
by that product of VersaiIles-the re-
public. That is the logic by which
the Nazis seem to have convinced mil
lions Of German women that it was
treasonable for them to have accepted
emancipation from the bondage Of the
kitchen
The Hitlerites can furnish as many
reasons against the equality OF women
as magician can produce rabbits out
of an empty hat One Of their pet
arguments is that feminine competition
has had a devastating effect on en-
ployment. When Hitler took possession
Of the Reich in January there were
about 100000 women gainfully en-
ployed in Germany, and the unem-
ployed Of both sexes numbered about
100000 1t was not difficult to con-
trast these two figures and thus to
blame unemployment on the women.
In pamphlet which bears the i'm
print of the Hitler party, a Nazi propa-
gandist complains that few months
ago there were 100000 women en-
ployed in German industry and handi-
craft, 1900, 900 in commerce and trans
