Hitler already has foreseen all
this. He has tried to take the
edge off by warning the German
people they must tighten their
belts and suffer as if in war.
They must get used to higher
taxes, less pay, less food.
AS long ago as last spring Ger
man workers complained to the
present writer that by the time
they paid their taxes, their fees
for obligatory old age, health and
unemployment insurance and
made their contribution to the
various Nazi funds, they only had
enough left to pay their rent and
buy their grub.
Getting new clothes, they said,
was out of the question.
That condition has become more
acute since then. The mass of the
people will be more diSilluSiOned
than ever this winter. The Nazi
heaven has not been produced.
People can't eat parades, Nazi
speeches and broadcasts. They
want more solid fare.

sion, Colonel Unemployment, and
Colonel Hunger. Hitler's whole
play for the working masses has
been that he was going to conquer
unemployment.
Something has been done in that
direction by forcing employers and
all government agencies to take on
more men. But now Germany is
repudiating her private CONNER
cial debts In the short run this
probably will mean that when
Germany seeks to buy from
America the copper and cotton
she needs, and from the British
Empire the wool, rubber and tin,
she will be told:
"Certainly-when you place the
cash in our bank to pay for the
same on the spot"
FALLING supplies of raw mate
i rails will affect most of the
big industries of Germany. 1t
may mean short time or no time.
1t will certainly mean increasing
unemployment.

NEW YORK, July adolf
~ Hitler. Nazi chancellor Of
Germany. has tight-roped his per-
ilOus way over a dark chaSm OF
plots and counterplots, revolution
and counter-revolution, shooting
down old and trusted comrades
on his way.
But he still is far from having
reached a secure haven. The blood
bath in which he has INDUCED
may temporarily seem to make
him stronger than ever, but his
troubles are really only commence
ing.
On every side he has potential
enemies. The Socialists and the
Communists long since have ceased
to exist as political parties. But
they have merely gone under
ground
From neighboring countries, like
France and Czechoslovakia, they
still continue to send into Ger
mony their literature. often print
ed on f1imsy sheets easily hidden
between other things. Many have
camouflaged themselves as Brown
Shirts. For instance, a current
story in Hamburg is this:
First Workman: L Joined the
Storm Troops the other night"
Second Workman: How did
you find things?"
First Workman: Rotten. There
we're only two Nazis there"
TINE Steel Helmets, composed
i of mOnarchist- minded veter-
ans of the World war, have not
given whOle-hearted allegiance to
the regime. despite the effusive
assurances of their official leader.
Franz Seldte. who has the job OF
minister of labor in the Nazi cab
met.
But worst of all, from Hitler's
standpoint. is the fact that the
events of the last few days show
that he can not rely upon his
Brown Shirt army any more.
Some of the sweepings of Ger
many found their way into that
private army in the early days
desperate unemployed youths,
street boys, roughs of all descrip-
tiOns.
In the turbulent days before
Hitler achieved power, these
troopers had a good time fighting
Communists in the streets of the
cities and villages. After Hitler
became chancellor, in the first
months of the terror they had a
holiday shaking old accumulated
hatreds and vengeanceS. But in
the more peaceful days, the long
hours of marching and drilling
were not so good, particularly
when they we're warned not to
stick their fingers in every bust
ness and political pie.
Disappointment followed disap-
pointment. They were not given
places in the reichswehr. They
rank and file did not get jobs,
houses, parties, and automobiles.

reichswehr, the most perfectly
trained army in the world. In
the last analysis that army may
hold the future fate of Germany
in its hands. So far, in all the
bloody events of the last few days,
the reichsWehr has held carefully
aloof.
But it is Differed by the old
junker type of men who in their
hearts deSpise Hitler as much as
they do the republicans.

BY WALTER d. HICKMAN

TINE chief difference of sub
Il ject matter in the novels of
Alice Tisdale Hobart and Pearl S.
Buck is that Mrs. Buck writes
about the Chinese in China and
Mrs. Hobart is concerned with
Americans in China.
There is a big difference, but
both writer's have proved that
they understand Chinese charac-
ter, tradition, and the startling
changes which have swept that
nation.
Both authors have proved that
they know intimately the old as
we'll as the new China. While
Mrs. Buck goes in for elaborate
and accurate backgrounds, some
times at the expense of character,
Mrs. Hobart creates a rapid and
powerful yarn of action, success
and disaster.
I found these qualities appar-
ent in Mrs. Hobart's first book
"Oil For The Lamps Of China"
and I find them present in her
second novel River Supreme"
which just has been published by
the BobbS- Merrill Company.
A peculiar thing about River
Supreme" is that it was conceived
by Mrs. Hobart as historically the
first novel of a series of four deal
ing with China of which oil For
The Lamps OF China" was the
first published.
In River Supreme" the author
is concerned with the effect of
American and European shipping
interests operating under steam
upon the commercial and social
life of China even before the

Your correspondent discussing the humor of
comedians with Mr.. Jack Pearl on recent evening,
reminded him of scene in the last of the ziegfeld
shows in which he and another actor laborously
worked up to climax consisting of a play upon
familiar gutter expression.

Il
MRS. HOBART in her latest
N1 novel has recorded the
weaknesses Of her chief charac-
tiers as completely as their
strength.
Captain Hawley was one Of the
river pioneers Of China. He
could have built a shipping en-
pire but ever changing China left
him on his sickbed, a lonely and
broken old man.
Here is a story Of a man who
winds up as wreck but while
living he was fighter, strong in
his strength and bewildered with
his weaknesses.
This book excels in picturing
the youth OF China when the
Empress was on the throne and
the great difference in them
when President sat in the
Walled City with thieving war
lords stealing from a whole people.
This novel is strong and beauti-
full in the passages Of painting old
China when only the learned ones
could hold high government

carefully and surely the revival of
the opium business in modern

Rather like an old-fashioned melo-

young man from the branch OF the
New York bank in Charleston, who
would sympathetically tender the fore
closure papers if that damnable $4,000
were not evident next week.
Jim decided that his dad had MADE
a poor move after the crash when he
had borrowed all that money to bolster
I'D the business-some $4,000. With
the plant running on part-time sched-
ule now, it was Just about making ex-
penses and keeping the family. with
nothing left over with which to pay
off mortgages.
A glance to the right at his COM
panion revealed a Smartly dressed,
fresh young person easily reclining
against the cushion, staring ahead at
the road as 1t unwound before them
and swiftly dropped behind.
Read the directions again, will you,
Anne?" Jim broke the silence.
"Clue 20: Go to a point 5 miles
southwest Of Fort Sumpter, where you
will find marker. With your watch
pointed north, take the direction OF

The thought of the prize was tan
talizing. Jim realized that 1t could
be converted into cash very readily
merely by selling it to one OF the gang
who would have paid for another
years membership anyway.
A mile later they pulled to stop
at a checkered pennant nailed to a
post at the side of the road.
Alightfng, Jim removed his watch
from his wrist and placed it upon the
top of the post and followed directions.
The two of them paced carefully 100
PAGES, over the beach and beneath the
low, scraggly branches Of the beaten
