Lack Of well-oiled party organization
and lack Of dramatic appeal are COM

What Germany Wants.

Addressing his Nazi Congress, Chan
cellor Hitler spoke only in general terms
Of Germany's demand for colonies. The
first detailed information of what Hitler
wants is disclosed in one of Mr. Con-
stantine Browns Illuminating European
dispatches to The Star, published on the
very day the Fuehrer projected his pro-
gram for regaining the Reich's place in
the sun.
Mr.. Brown reveals that the Germans
claim vast and rich section of West
Africa, extending from Liberia to the
Belgian Congo. It embraces not only
independent Liberia ITSELF but also the
Ivory Coast, French colony, the Gold
Coast, British colony, Kamerun and
Togoland, formerly German and now
inundated territory, and the immense
British colony of Nigeria. Altogether
the slice" Of Africa on which Nazi eyes
are riveted aggregates more than 100000
square miles, which does not fall far
short Of the gross domain of which the
Germans were despoiled at Versailles.
Kamerun and Nigeria alone, with re-
spective areas of more than 100000
square miles. are each almost as large as
the Ethiopian booty which has fallen into
Mussolini's hands. Enormous as the
coveted territory is. Reichsbank Presi-
dent DR.. Schacht, who is goading Hitler
into the colonial adventure as means
OF guaranteeing independent German
sources of raw materials. contends 1t
represents less than the value of the lost
colonies.
In view Of the comparative ease with
which Japan obtained Manchuria and
Italy gobbled up Halle selassies king
dom, Hitler can hardly be blamed for
thinking that his imperialist designs,
too, can eventually be realized without
serious opposition. There is no reason
to suspect that the Nazis would risk
war to crafty colonial ambitions. They
may rather be expected to use the moral
influence Of their military, naval and
air power as q club with which to
browbeat Great Britain and France into
recognizing the desirability of satiating
the Reich. Mr.. Brown tells of German
overtures already made to the London
and Paris governments, based on their
notorious eagerness to curb growing Nazi
might.
That Berlin's hopes on this score are
not unfounded is reflected in the Lon
don Times comment on Hitler's recent
utterance. Some day, perhaps" it says,
"the system of mandates may be widely
extended, but meantime British public
opinion, even in so far as it is theo-
retically sympathetic with German
claims, would never seriously consider
them except in relation to a general
settlement and in return for practical
remuneration of war as an instrument Of
German policy. At present war mem
tality is being fostered in Germany. To
make concessions to 1t today would
merely be to invite larger demands TO-
morrow" Unless the NaN anti-Com-
munist complex leads to war with the
Soviet and German expansion in the
direction Of the great Russian grain and
mineral regions-designs bluntly sug-
gested by Hitler at Nuremberg on Sat-
urday-Hitlerite territorial policy is
plainly pointed toward West Africa. It
conjures up the prospect of augmented
international fear and unrest.

The principal complaint everywhere

Republicans have their best story here,
and they have made an impression in
telling it. Still, they apparently haven't
convinced the general run Of people Of
the danger that lies in persistently un-
balanced budget.
It remained for a Wisconsin business
man to suggest that President Roosevelt
actually was the choice Of big business
In this country and that the attack on

was that big business has reaped q rich
