THE chief claim to superiority Of
the highly centralized. dicta-
torial governments, Is that
a they represent unity. strength,
and the power to move quickly and
decisively. Well. do they?
Germany under Hitler Is the very
prototype Of the totalitarian state, with
every phase Of economic. social and
military life theoretically switched into
line with 4 central dominating policy.
For five years now it has publishsd
to the world the marvellous story Of Its
inner solidarity. And In those five
years it has had two serious attempts
at 4 coup d'etat. the first resolved In
. shocking blood bath-that was in

occurred last week, resolved, it would
