CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON
Mr.. Hitler
German bonds dropped little
Monday as Adolf Hitler was appoint
ed chancellor of the Reich. It was
only natural that people with money,
VIGOROUSLY scary, would be alarmed
as this man. one Of the most flam-
boyant of the worlds politicians,
finally achieved place Of power and
an opportunity to put some OF his
ideas into execution.
It is improbable, however, that
they need be alarmed for the cares
and responsibilities OF office have a
way Of impressing themselves upon
even the most hardened agitator. The
roaring lion Of the stump very often
becomes the careful and cautious adj
ministrator when he finally is called
upon to put his ideas into execution.
Hitler probably will be no exception
to the rule.
Even If he desires to go ahead with
the program which has welded the
Nazis to him and made him a world
figure, it is improbable that he will
succeed. His party does not control
a majority in the Reichstag and even
as President Won Hindenburg ap-
pointed the man to the chancellor
ship he manifested distrust in him,
surrounding him with advisers of diff
fering political views.
As to Hitler's courage there can be
no question. An Austrian by birth he
enlisted in the German army at the
age Of % In 1914 and served through
out the war. He was gassed and
wounded on the western front and
received silver medal in recog-
milton Of his services. A Royalist
at heart, Hitler resented the over
throw OF the Hohenzollerns in 1918
and 1t is possible that success for him
as chancellor may mean restoration
OF the monarchy. His political theory
rests upon a strong centralized gov
eminent organized on non demo-
cratic lines, even though it was sue
cess at the polling places which
placed him where he is.
His ambitious campaign began In
the beer cellars Of Munich.
Before long his audiences over
flowed the beer stubee and in 1921 he
was the accepted leader Of the anti
republican movement.
General Eric Ludendorf was one of
his closest advisers and together the
two attempted coup" on the night
Of Nov. 8. 1922. They declared the
provincial government of Bavaria
overthrown. The Bayarian authors
ties pretended to accept this ukase,
but Hitler was soon arrested and SEN
fenced to five years In prison. A year
later he was liberated, but it was not
until 1928 that he resumed his polit-
ical activities.
BY 1890 the national Socialist party
IN the Reichstag election gained LOT
seats.
In successive elections his strength
mounted.
His oratorical tricks, his extrava-
CANT statements, have brought down
upon him the epithet Of demagogue,
but the index of his success has been
the increase in his party's vote.
He maintains that the family Is
the bash OF civilization. but he never
married. He asserts that women have
no place in government, but the
woman's vote is his.
His model Of statesmanship is Pre-
mier Mussolini. From time to time
he has declared his intention Of re-
pudiattng the Versailles treaty, the
PREPARATIONS, and all other unjust
burdens" which the allies placed up
on his country.
But to repudiate that treaty in full
may be . difficult thing. France,
well-equipped and spelling for trou-
BILE. would waste no time In enforcing
her rights" under that document.
