actlon In sendi~ troops goose step
ping INTO the khineland was only a
symbolic action-symbolic of our
determination TO give Germany
equality"
Siegfried Rauch, born in 1917 at
traSsburg-which is now a focal
point in Hitlers troop movements
SAID 1t is not an aggressive move.
IL Is simply repopulation of German
territory. II France is broad minded
enough to accept Hitler's peace Of
fer, it will establish permanent
peaceful relations"
Think War Remote
Expressing the opinion that war
VIII not come, both students pointed
out that neither the German peo-
pie nor the French want war any
more than do Americans.
Rauch, an 18-year-old law stu
dent who already has reached gradu-
ate classification in Germany, said
ne believed the ultimate result would
be that France will recognize Ger
man equality and will not make
war because England will not back
her.
While in Germany, Miss Woe~gner
was a member Of the staff Of / art
temberg leaders in the Hitler organ
lzatlon, and was active in the radio

Hitler Popular, They Say
Contrary to the popularity held
American opinion, both students
said the German people are nearly
solidly behind Hitler.
Germans are not living under the
heel of an unwelcome oppressor, the
students said, but are being guided
out of inequality by popular
leader.
Rauch admitted however, that
Germany's legal position in disre-

Versailles treaty is not strong one.

earnestly, would America do in the
same situation? Would America en-

Both Like America
Both said they liked America very
much Miss Woessner described the
United States as "a happy country"
and Rauch said he will be homesick
for America when he returns to
Germany.
They expressed the opinion that
American young people are just as
interested in politics and world af-
fairs as are European youths but
''in different way"
You view European politics as a
show" Rauch said I'VE view it
earnestly" Both believed Americas

manys central position responsible
for this difference of attitude.

will remain permanent because it
has popular support. Rauch said,
Hitler himself declares Germany is
a democracy" Asked if he thought
this we're true, he answered that

80 per cent of the voters support
Hitler"
Germany Doesn't Want War"
Germany does not want war
can not have war;" Miss WoeSsner
said. I'VE are in a crisis period
economic, political and social crisis.
We can not have war now. Hitler
promised to keep the peace and re-
gain Germany's equality. That is
what he is doing now
I'VE know Hitler is doing the best
for Germany" Rauch said. mo one
could have done better than he in
re-entering the Rhineland country
that is my home"
