Hearst. The sage of San Simeon
has made no attempt to conceal
his bitter hatred Of the new dis
pensation.
He has been as outspoken as
Jimmy Wadsworth or Reed
Smoot in his opposition. Most
of his signed utterances have
been filed with a nostalgia
yearning to go back to the
Coolidge era-before the birth
of the brain trust. Mr.. Hearst
has been highly impatient with
all newfangled notions which
threatened to cut into the profits
of big business. Only a few
months ago I had the privilege
of commenting on one of his
editorials in which he advanced

GERMANY-WAR OR PEACE?


like training for war than any
thing else.
Foreigners living in Germany
for business reasons told me it is
a regular thing for companies of
Nazi troops to make practice hikes
of fifteen miles, carrying knapSackS
weighing fifteen pounds. After a
while, the weight of the KNAPP
sacks is increased, and then the
length of the march is increased.
In case Of war, that practice
would have its enormous value.
HERE is another thing that is
IL no secret; not long ago there
appeared in the papers of Ba-
varia call from one of the off,
GERS in the Nazi troops, asking
for volunteers for the mountain
corps. They were to be men ini-
tiated in winter sports, who we're
used to skis, etc. There is in
that corps the making of a body
of men fit for warfare in the
mountains and Injured to all the
hardships of winter.
Further there is this enormous
ly interesting fact to be cleaned
from prominently printed articles
in the German press: 1t has been
made an offenSe to print or dis
seminate news about the move
ments, training. maneuvers of
Nazi storm troops, unless official
permission has been received.

mercial air forces in the world.

ports-built with American loans,
the cynics say. German CONNER
cial planes are fast, fine and safe.
The young men, who pilot them,
could just as easily run war planes.
Furthermore, many of them have
foreign runs, which take them
into most of the lands of Europe
and into most of the capitals.
The Versailles treaty sought to
make Germany harmless on the
sea. She was allowed to build
cruisers not to exceed 10000 tons.
So their naval geniuses contrived
what has been called a pocket
battleShip," capable of twenty-six
knots per hour and carrying six
eleven-inch guns. One has been
completed, another is nearly COM
pleted and two more are on the
way.
They can defeat the ordinary
cruiser and run away from the
more powerful foreign battleships!

During court procedure, Mr..
Roberts said, he put Mr.. Clayton
on the witness stand and forced
him to admit he had received a

Company which was fostering a

the Federation reaffirmed its
