ITO Allay Fears"
This address, presumably would be
designed to allay all fears and to urge
all citizens to proceed orderly about
their business.
The days events clearly showed how
decisive was the stand Hitler has
taken in recent weeks against the
radical absolutism existing in the
storm troops.
The storm troop leftist leaders. un-
der the dominance of Roehm. had de-
manded the abolition of the Steel
Helmets, an organization Of World
War veterans. Hitler stood adamant
against their demands. The storm
troops. over his warning to LAY off"
reiterated that the Steel Helmets
must be wiped out.
The Goering announcement stated
anew that the storm troopers must
take the leave of absence during July,
This was ordered by Hitler at the
height of the wrangling between storm
troop and Steel Helmet.
Warned Repeatedly.
eve warned these gentlemen" i"
Goering said of Roehm and other
mutinous leaders, again and again
against a second revolution. Now it
was we who made it and not they.
That second revolution now is
ended.
The state and the party will be
purged and cleansed. The position of
| der Fuehrer is purer than ever.
While he shows patience for a
long time, yet when he strikes, he
strikes hard and decisively. AS for
myself you know me well enough to
realize that 1, too. do not wear silk
| gloves or that I hesitate
Il attach the greatest importance
| to having you tell the world (to the
| newspaper mem that the state and
| the people are unreservedly behind
| their leader.
Foes to Be Arrested.
The storm troop organization is
part of our movement, but it was
never to be an end in itself.
To attempt to make it such must
needs lead to failure.
The storm troops will receive new
leadership, and whoever opposes that
leadership will be arrested"
This discussion of the storm troops
seemed to indicate clearly that the
ruling forces of the NaZi movement
have taken full cognizance of all the
criticism directed almost continuously
at actions of the storm troopers.
1t was in the early hours of today
that Hitler. with celerity and sudden
ness. set forth to quell the still-born
revolution
This was shown in statement from
the National Socialist headquarters,
which recounted the arrest Of Roehm
and his passion for abnormality.

Bad Moral Spectacle"
incidents of a provoking nature
led to Der Fuehrer Immediately re-
moving and arresting two of the most
compromised leaders at am. today
when he returned by airplane to
Munich from an inspection of labor
camp in Westphalia.
Der Fuehrer personally went to
WieSsee, accompanied by several of
his men, in order to nip any attempt
at opposition in the bud.
The execution of the arrests was
accompanied by a spectacle which
was so bad morally that every trace
of pity must needs vanish.
Some of these storm troop lead
ers had brought boys with them for
lustful purposes. One of them was
caught in a most despicable situation
and was arrested.
Der Fuehrer gave orders for the
pitiless excision of this pest and boil.
He will not tolerate in the future
that millions of decent people shall
be compromised by individuals with
abnormal tendencies.
Der Fuehrer gave Prussian Pre-
mier Goering an order to carry out
similar actions in Berlin and there,
especially, to seize reactionary aSsoci-
ates in this political conspiracy
Hitler Gains Power.
Today's display of force, for the
present at least, has consolidated Hit
lers power to greater degree than
at any time, apparently, since the
early days of his dictatorship.
He has wiped out the opposition in
his storm troops.
He has given strength to the right
wing Nazi forces typified by Goering.
He has "liquidated" the leader OF
the monarchial group, Won Schleicher.
In the space of 10 years, he led his
Nazi Fascist-type movement up from
a prison cell in a Bavarian fortress
where he was incarcerated after the
Munich putsch-to rule of the govern
