HITLER'S RISE
IS DESCRIBED

DR.. Willis A. Parker of Ashe-
vile Wednesday afternoon gave
an exposition of the rise of Nail
ism in Germany in his weekly
lecture at the Sunroom of the
Skyland hotel on world politics
and world thought currents, and
his address was a study of Hitler,
his personality, against back
ground of postwar conditions in
Germany and the progress made
in creating of Germany a totali-
tartan state.
German socialism is much
more drastic political doctrine
than socialism is conceived of in
this country, he declared at the
outset, pointing out that under
it, all monopolieS and trusts are
operated without profit as public
services.
Immediate post war rulers were
discussed, together with their pol
icieS, Prince Max, Ebert, Won Hin
denberg, included, then the pro-
mitigation of the % points Hitler
and his bodyguard of six double
listed bruiSerS." Hitler, said DR..
Parker, is the worlds grand past
master soap box orator, and in
personal contact persuasive
man.
The amazing thing about the
25 points, received at first as so
much political rhetoric, is that IN
so far as the HitleriteS have acted
these have been enforced scrupu-
lousy and to the letter. This fail
ure to deviate from their course
since 1923, he said, may be taken
as a basis for expectancy for the
whole program to be enforced, IN
so far as is humanity possible fol
the Nazis to carry it out.
Won Hindenberg was referred
to as one of the great men of the
post war world, whose greatness
was not based upon achievements
in or before the World war.
Next Wednesday afternoon DR.,
Parker will discuss Alfred Rosen-
berg, the German philosopher
whose thought parallels the lead
ership of Hitler in the new Ger
man state.

FRS SPEECH Is NEW
BLOW AT SOUTHERNERS

CONTINUED from page one)
Dor subcommittee drafting a new
wages bill, said ne would not vote
for "just any BILL" but wanted to
see wage levels in the South IN
creased gradually"
Rep. Martin Dies, D., Tex, an
other member of the rules group
who aided in sidetracting the leg
islation, protested that the mea-
sure was not defeated by South
ernersc and that he favors wage
bill ain conformity with the DEM
ocratic platform pledge and which
would be fair to every section OF
the country" Another opponent,
Rep. J. Bayard Clark, D., n. e.,
declined comment.
Dies said the Black bill was de-
feated "by a large majority" 1t
was recommitted on Dec. II,
1887, at the special session of
congress by vote of 2l6 to l9S,
with most Southerners voting
against the administration.
The senate passed the measure
OF July 81, 1887, Sc to %, nine
of the Is Democrats who voted
mo" were from the South. One
of the leading opponents in the
senate was Sen. Walter George,
D., Ga, who is up for reelection
this year and who also attended
the GAINESVILLE ceremony.
The Southern delegation in the
senate is split over the presidents
government reorganization bill. 1t
is in charge of Sen. James F..
Bynes, D., Ca, and is being
fought every step of the way by
Sens. Josiah Bailey, D., N. e.,
and Harry F. Byrd, D., Va. A
coalition of Conservative Demo-
Gratis and Republicans killed the
administrations proposed third
basket" tax before the house
passed the new revenue bill and
Chairman Pat Harrison, D., Miss,
is supported by Conservatives in
his defiance of administration de-
mands for retention of the undl-
vided profits levy.
The struggle for control of the
party began soon after the presi-
dent started his Inflated drive to
expand the supreme court. 1t wild
ened with the death of Senate
Majority Leader Joe T. Robinson,
D., Ark, after which the admins
tration is reported to have
brought pressure to elect as his
successor, Sen. Alben W. Bark
ley, D., KY, who won by one vote
over Harrison. Bailey recently
circulated a petition in the senate
seeking signatures in protest
against certain New Deal policies
but the effort died aborning.
Political observers felt last
night that the extent to which
the president has aleanated South
ern foes of his wages measure
will be determined only if he de-
mands such legislation before
congressional adjournment. Some
informed New Dealers say this is
not contemplated and that the
president is ready to force con-
gress to accept responsibility in
this matter.
