Chancellor Hitler's boast that Nad
culture will live for 1000 years and
that there will be complete absence Of
revolutions arouses q number of ques-
tions in the American press. 1t is
argued that history does not show
that . national system can survive
over 20 long . period.
only an authentic prophet would
dare predict the destiny Of . nation
through . period Of . thousand years,
states the jamestown IN. W Post,
and Hitler Is not . prophet" The
Tampa Daily Times suggests that "a
great many things can happen In q
thousand years" The Boston Tran
script says: In this time, when too
many Of the Western Worlds people
have fallen into . state Of chronic
concern what the next 10 months, let
alone the next 10 years, might bring
forth, it Is encouraging and reassur-
ing to hear Hitler speak cheerfully in
terms Of an epoch. His declaration at
Nuremburg has realistic significance,
despite its hyperbole."
IF Herr Hitler has done what he
says, he has filled . large order" in
the opinion of the San Francisco
Chronicle, adding: He now says he
has fixed Germany the way it will
stay for the next 1000 years. Not for
q millennium, he tells his people, will
there be . revolution. If SO, Der
Fuehrer will break all records, not
only for Europe but for Asia, to say
nothing Of Africa and the Antipodes
Where Is the country that has not had
0 revolution in 1000 yeap? In Eu-
rope national histories are strings OF
revolution, except in Andorra. But
even Andorra, which looked Is though
1t might 20 1000 years without a
change, Is its system had endured un-
altered since 1878, broke out IN q
rash of revolution year ago."
Doubts as to surviving the Winter
are expressed by the New Orleans
Times-Picayune, and the Milwaukee
Journal declares: when We think Of
permanence We think Of Great
Britain, with its boast Of no invasion
by 4 foreign foe in 800 years. But NJ
one would think of saying that ths
English way Of life has been fixec

They might have said: This Is the enc
Of the conquests. The English way
Of life is fixed for 1000 years. But
England did not even adopt Norman
French as its language. Only
