ticularly rich mentors. There are even
intelligent people who see in the entire
prosecution of the Jews an effort or
the part of mostly non-Jewish big In
dustrialists to eliminate the influence
Of mostly Jewish banks, to which they
are hopelessly indebted.
Since modern capitalism Is as such
based on the maintenance Of credit as
upon the private ownership OF produc-
tive property, it Is clear that the move
ment which preserves ownership while
killing credits meets difficulties. This
paradox is apparent in the treatment
Of American creditors. For while Hitler
specifically tells the Americans that
their investments in Germany are as
safe as anywhere in the world, DR..
Hjalmar Schacht, president OF the
Reichsbank, is busy imploring, convinc-
ing and bullying American lenders into
accepting a reduction in the Size OF
their loans.
Personal Dangers.
Finally, there are the personal dangers
in the ranks of the party. To Gen.
Goering and his friends. Fritz Thyssen
the industrialist, and DR.. Schacht, Hit
ler's army of storm troops, once 1t has
done it's great job of smashing labor
unions, reducing wages and eXproprlat-
ing Jews, will itself become a danger
and will have to be suppressed.
Party rule, that is. should then nave
to be absorbed by the ominpotent
Prussianized, militarized state
But to Hitler and his friends, like
Capt. Ernst Roehm and DR.. Robert Ley
the storm battalion army of 100000 Is
the only guaranty OF their own perma-
nence in power They still believe the
party should continue to dominate the
state on Italian or Russian lines. To
them it is the emergence of too obvl-
Gus capitalism which would be danger
Gus.
Finally as to the three principal
leaders. Hitler, Gen. Goering and Dr.
Goebbels:
Hitler. to Gen Gcering and Dr. Goeb-
bells. was a necessary evangelist to rally
the movement and bring it to the top
Of power Nov his essentially prophetic
natura-he speaks of his own divine
mission"-has become hindrance to
real politics. and he should be pro-
NOTED above politics
Hitler obviously expects to succeed
President Won Hindenburg. But Gen
Goering is sure that he himself is the
real man for the presidency when IT
becomes vacant.
Crisis Forecast.
There is no doubt that President Won
Hindenburg's death or resignation would
provoke a major crisis. Both Hitler
and Gen. Goering distrust DR.. Goeb-
bels, master of propaganda smoke
screen. and they recently forced him
to allow all his public speeches to be
censored by the entire cabinet before
being delivered.
DR. GoebbelS is lame man. with
grudge against society. that makes him
born revolutionary. He hates Gen.
Goering as q conservative. Gen. Goer-
ing is a man of action with an immense
ambition. Hitler is prophet whom
his fanaticiZed followers compare at
different moments with Bismark, Fred
erick the Great, Martin Luther, Jesus
Christ and the Holy Ghost.
1t is questionable whether the new
Germany will have room for all three.
The real dangers for Germany will be-
gin when the numerous riffs. inevitable
il. a party with next TO no program, but
staying in power, begin to widen.
Communism in Germany could not
p!ecede, but might well follow the NaZi
regime For Hitlerism is Systematically
destroying all the elements that have
hitherto prevented its spread among
people. who to foreigners, seems in
curably sociallstic.
