European Manager. NEA Service

NEW YORK, July Thousands
of Berliners and Potsdamers are
wondering what the future holds for
Auwi.
Auwi is Berlinese jargon for
Prince August Wilhelm, fourth son
of the exiled kaiser.
For three years he has been the
big Nazi Exhibit A as royal
princeling who is an ardent Nazi.
When the Nazis began to grow
in influence and even when they
came into power, the ex-kaiser
maintained a rigid silence regard
ing them. Ex-Crown Prince Willie
who belonged to the Steel Helmets
never donned a NaZi uniform, nor
did any of his other brothers.
Except Auwi.
Auwi became an officer in the
Potsdam Brown Shirts. He made
speeches. He was placed on the list
of ri candidates for the reichStag
and was duly elected. He took his
seat proudly done up in his brown
shirt, like the rest of his congeners
When Hitler reviewed big parsdes
in Berlin or Potsdam. Auwi was
right there on the platform still
doing his Exhibit A job.
His Big Moment
But one of his greatest moments
came last February. For months
the rank and file Of the Brown
Shirts all over Germany had been
shaking tin boxes in the faces OF
the citizens. They were collecting
voluntary" contributions for Hit
ler's winter relief fund.
Then one day in February it was
announced in the Berlin papers
that, while the Brown Shirts were
collecting relief for the poor, many
of their own ranks were hard up
Therefore. the officers of the Brown
Shirts had "graciously resolved" to
do a little collecting themselves
Forgetting their high position, they
would appear on the streets of the
metropolis and collect voluntary
contributions which would go to the
faithful rank and file of Hitler
private army in Berlin.
Auwi Was Biggest Star
Karl Ernst, head of the Berlin
storm troops, shot the other day as
traitor by order of Hitler, was one
of the star performers. But the
biggest star of all was Auwi. The
beat where he would collect con-
tributions for his men was promi-
nently printed. He would go into
the swish hotels on Inter den Lin
den and he would also collect in
certain streets where the aristocratS
and the wealthy dwell.
Auwi had one grand day. AL
dolled up in brown shirt and cap
officers epaulettes and the rest OF
the toggery, he shook his tin box
like a good fellow. In the mean
time, the newspaper photographers
clicked their cameras and straw
haired maidens sighed with admi-
ration at his "self-sacrifice" in act
ing just like an ordinary human
being.
His collections easily mounted
up. Many people. with an Ole
sneaking admiration for royalty
were willing to part with a bunch

WASHINGTON July IA 81
100000 shipment of arms and mu-
nitions may slip through to the
Gran Chaco battle zone despite the
supposed embargo invoked by the
American government, it was
learned today
The embargo was an order pro-
hibiting sales of arms and NUM-
tons in the United States to Para
quay and Bolivia. Nothing in the
order prohibited shipment of the
arms.
One 100000 shipment left Nor
folk, Va. for Bolivia after the order
was issued. This was made possible
by a state department ruling that
ownership of munitions had
changed hands at an earlier date
and since an actual sale was not in
volved the shipment could not be
halted.

PARIS, Oct. IL. - The "Pariser

which, in describing the current
education Of many young japanese
students in Berlin and the number
Of young Nazis who are now being
taught Japanese, helps to I'LL in the
foreground Of the picture of Ger
man-Japenese collaboration for
war.
This article states that, "the Uni
versity Of Berlin has enlarged its
Far East seminar. In former times,
this seminars only function was
to teach Oriental languages, but it
has now become a Nazi school for
propaganda in the Far East.
The number of German students
studying Japanese has continually
grown. While only a small fraction
Of all the German students in COL
lege may ever hope to find jobs,
the future of those who learn
japanese is assured.
why do we find officers of the
German army and aviators studying
Japanese? Naturally, they attend
college in their street-clothes. Japan
knows that Russia's air force far
surpasses her own, and that Jap
anese are not expert ayiators.
Therefore, Germany springs into
the breach as instructor.
THE feeling in the University of
Berlin'S seminar in Japanese is
that war between Russia and
Japan will come, and come soon.
Japanese and German students feel
themselves to be comrades t-arms,
and together pore over possible
sites of victorious slaughter on the
ordnance maps, as if war already
we're an actuality.
Moreover, these japanese stu
dents are very welcome guests
among Nazi circles, and they them
selves are the only foreign students
to whom this strange form of gov
eminent, so abhorrent to all other
cultured people, is agreeable"

of the debt owed the veterans. for
the enforcement of the existing
welfare laws. We hold both the
municipal state and federal gov
ernments responsible for the well
fare of the veterans. A policy has
existed among most veterans to
vote for the candidate making the
most liberal promises to the vet
Grams, promises which can easily be
ignored and usually are con-
veniently forgotten by the candi-
date upon election.
We hold not only the candidates
responsible, but contend that the
leaders of the various political par
ties are spokesman for the policies
of their respective parties. In this
way, we demand to know which
party is sincere in it's attitude to-
ward the We. Grams.
The Republican Party was in
power during the Harding, Coolidge
and Hoover Administrations. These
leaders OF that party not only
vetoed the bonus" but disgrace
fully disregarded the debt owed the
veterans. The Republican Admin

only met the unarmed Bonus
Marchers with police terror, with
the shooting OF Hushka and Carlson,
two unarmed, defenseless veterans,
but waged open warfare with troops
of cavalry, with tanks and tear gas
against the men who had worn the
uniforms during the World War.
The Democratic Party is equally
Infamous in its policy toward the
veteran. The New Deal" of Roose-
welt with its National Economy Act,
an act entitled ITO preserve the
credit of the United States" has
wrought untold hardship upon the
sick and disabled veteran. Tens Of
thousands of sick veterans were
turned out of their sick beds, out

tens of thousands of disabled vet
