and a more important day for the
world as whole
GermanyS withdrawal from the
League of Nations does not mean
that the German nation or Adolf
Hitler means war, said DR.. E. G.
Homrighausen, pastor of the Car
rollton Avenue Reformed church,
who returned few months ago
from visit to Germany.
Germany does not want war" he
said today. 1T has not the man
power, the capital or the arms for
war. France is we'll protected with
gold, soldiers and airplanes, of
which Germany has few. France
also has powerful allies.
Hitler made no demand for war
III his speech Saturday He merely
demanded equity for Germany, and
showed that he was no longer salts
fed that Germany come to Geneva
as a second rate nation.
Germany, in this action, has
thrown down the gauntlet to the
other nations. She is asking that
the political peacemakers at Geneva,
who have talked peace for fifteen
years, but who have had the cards
stacked against Germany and other
leading nations, have done little for
actual disarmament"
This quick change in the world
picture illustrates the need for ade-
quate preparedness for defense in
America" Acknowledgement Elmer
F. Straub said today.
Should we enter a war, the ma
tional guard at once would become
part of the regular army All our
people should see that the guard is
not handicapped in the matter of
support and equipment.
In my opinion, America will not
enter war, but we should be able
to protect ourselves"
Only two courses are open to the
German people, according to Karl
Kuebler, 81 Kenmore road, who
came to the United States ten years
ago, and became a naturalized citi-
zen in 1929.
The world can have what she
wantS-a communistic Germany, or
a nationalistic Germany. Nothing
else is possible there Mr.. Kuebler
says
The young Germany does not
care who started the war; it would
| like to forget all about it. No other
nation can realize the horrors of
war like Germany can, for no other
nation knows what it means to lose
war.
Germany today does not want
war. This action of Hitler'S is not
a step to bring war about. Yet it is
a step which every person in Ger
many favors. Germany has waited
fifteen years for the other nations
to fulfill the promises made in the
Versailles treaty. Now it will wait
no longer. 1t demands the equality
that was promised it"
Al Muhlbacher, 81 Wallace
street: Its just like a domestic
fight and any peacemaker who
steps in is likely to get hit
Chris Fisher, Negro, 1874 Fayette
street: Boy, get ready to take a
boat ride
Myron G.. Johnson, assistant city
engineer, whose marked resemblance
to the German chancellor has
caused him to be nicked named
Hitler: This move has made Hit
Ter more popular than ever. Can
you visualize anyone voting against
him now. knowing the intense feel
ing for the Fatherland the average
German has?
L don't see that Germany has
committed any more of a breach
than England and France has done
in refusing to pay us. If Hitler
would quit depressing the Jewish
people and let them handle the
German national finances. his popu-
larity in Germany would be COM
plete"
