the general upift of the people and
then announced that bill of serious
nature Was before the Colonial Coun.
Gil. He produced copy Of The Bill which
he read. commenting on each paragraph:
The speaker said the Bill was
dangerous instrument and one to which
the Colonial Council should give very
careful consideration. He said that it
contemplates taking all the power rom
the Municipality and vesting it in cor
poraton. He defineda eminent domain"
from a law book and also the word
Ordinance"
Mr.. Pedro said the Council members
as representatives of the peoplei should
get sound legal advice be fore assuming
the responsibility of passing such bill.

been given time to understand what it
has been asked 10 do. 1t is being forced
and driven to speedy passage of so
important measure and YET il 10 ques
tionable whether the Constitution of the
Council gives il the right to pass such
a Bill, No ordinance in thu past had set
up individuals instead OF offices. This

numbers in German nurseries, Just as
the men they copy march throughout
the land.
The toys are Of many colors, sizes

The manager Of one Berlin toy shop

helping push the toy trade out Of the

The warriors are selling in such

form an important business, the dol

HITLER TO STRIVE
FORUN|TED REICH
viii Fire Opening Gun in
1885 Drive to End
Depression.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, December 2S.-Reichs-
fuehrer Adolf Hitler himself will fire
the opening gun in the Nazis' New
Year offensive on depression and dis
content, it was reported today.
The reports said Hitler might even
convoke the Reichstag within the week
to hear him deliver an appeal to the
German people and the world con-
corning the Saar plebiscite January
13 and, incidentally. promise Germany
1885 would be better than 1884.
Hitler will add a big feather to his
cap right at the beginning of 1885.
The Saar plebiscite almost certainly
will return an overwhelming vote for
Germany-and Hitler and the Nazis
will get the credit.
Expected to Avoid War.
As far as Germany Is concerned,
there appears no reason to apprehend
that she will do anything to provoke
war in 1885. Aside from her precari-
Gus economic position, two factors are
powerful deterrentS to war at this
time. The first of these Is the Reichs-
wehr. Military authorities know an
army is never weaker than during a
period of reorganization-and the
Reichswehr is right in the midst of a
gigantic reorganization.
Another factor for peace Is the
numerous interests involved in the
Olympic games of 1886. Germany is
building the largest stadium, the
greatest Olympic village, the best
transportation system to the games
grounds that the world has known.
She expects not only great interna-
tional prestige, but millions in re-
turn.
The year 1885 probably will wit
ness many changes in administration.
Like Mussolini, Hitler is beginning
to do the house cleaning which ir-
evitably proves necessary after a rev.
olution has succeeded. The blood
purge" of June 80 did rid Germany
of much riff-raff. Many persons be-
neve second blood purge" will prove
necessary in 1885. Others, however.
assert Hitler can accomplish the same
purpose by merely suSpending leaders
who prove inadequate.
Military Clash Predicted.
The years end found rumors cur
rent of an impending clash between
Gen. Werner Won Blomberg's Reichs-
wehr Irregular army and Heinrich
Himmel's black-shirted Schultz Staffel
picked Nazi guards. Well informed
observers believed, however, that the
army would continue its policy Of
staying out of political conflicts.
The course in 1885 appeared to
depend in great part on the rela-
tionship between Hitler and the
Reichswehr. Himmel apparently feels
that Der Fuehrer cannot depend
upon the army. He therefore has Or
ganized sections of the Schultz Staffel
in quasi-military fashion.
Hitler seemingly has done every
thing possible to strengthen the
arny's allegiance. It is not to be
expected, apparently, that 1885 will
see any slightest let-up in the anti
semitic policies Of the Hitler regime.
The year will see a final showdown
between Naziism and the orthodox
church forces, it is predicted. BY
tacit agreement truce appears to
prevail, at least as between the
Roman Catholic church and the
Nazl authorities, until after the Saar
plebiscite.
As to the Catholic side, the supreme
conflict apparently will be over the
control Of the youth.
